The Batesville Bulldogs JV Baseball team wrapped up their season series with Lawrenceburg on Thursday evening coming out victorious by a score of 9 to 0. The Bulldog offense was consistent scoring at least one run in every inning except the sixth. They tallied 9 hits in total Brayden Linkel, Riley Zink, and Nate Eckstein each had two a piece. Six Bulldog hitters had an RBI. Along with the nine hits came 10 walks and 8 stolen bases.
The Bulldogs were solid again defensively only committing one error but it didn’t amount to anything because Riley Zink was just about unhittable. He only gave up three hits in a shutout performance striking out 7 Tiger batters in 7 inning of work. He earned his first win of the season and drops his ERA to 1.46 on the season.
Pitching continues to be a strength for the JV team as their team ERA is 2.37 through 9 games. The Bulldogs are scheduled to be back in action this Saturday with a pair of games against Madison at BHS the first one starting at 11 a.m.
