The Batesville Bulldogs JV Baseball team was dominant in a Saturday doubleheader against Madison winning both games. The first game was a 13-0 shutout fueled by Lleyton Ratcliffe’s pitching performance on the mound. He struck out 4 Cubs along the way. The Bulldogs were led in hitting by Brayden Linkel and Alex Smith.
The second game proved not to be a fluke as the route continued and the Bulldogs ran away with it by a final of 16-5. The Bulldogs rode the coattails of another solid pitching performance put in by Adam Cox, who threw a complete game allowing 3 runs on 5 hits but struck out a single game season high 10 batters. Lleyton Ratcliffe had a fame high 3 hits while Riley Zink and Casey Werner each had 3 runs batted in a piece including a 13 pitch 2 RBI at bat by Werner.
The Bulldogs record goes to 8-3 on the season and they look to extend their winning streak as they take on conference opponent Rushville on Monday evening at 5:30 p.m. at BHS.
