Despite a big day at the dish from Zach Britton who finished 2 for 3, the Batesville Bulldogs lost 11-1 as they visited the Connersville Spartans on Saturday, only five days after the Bulldogs beat the Spartans 11-0.
Huffman got it done on the bump on the way to a win. He allowed one run over six innings. Huffman struck out 11, walked two and gave up three hits.
Leo Enneking couldn’t get it done on the hill for the Batesville Bulldogs, taking a loss. He allowed eight runs (three earned) in four innings, walked two and struck out four. The Bulldogs seven error defensive effort did not help either, according to Coach Justin Tucker
In the first inning, the Batesville Bulldogs pushed across their only run of the day on a solo home run by Britton.
The lead stayed with Connersville after the second, when it scored six runs on five errors, a fielder’s choice, and a single by Massey.
“WIth our young core, we are going to have peaks and valleys throughout the year. This is a valley, but our guys will be ready to play next week,” states Coach Tucker
This leaves the Bulldogs 4-4 overall, with a 3-3 record in the EIAC conference.
