The Bulldogs celebrated 100 Years of Baseball at Liberty Park on Saturday by inviting back alumni to be honored. The alumni had a lot to be happy about, as the Bulldogs threw a combined no-hitter while beating the Greensburg Pirates 10-0 in five innings.
The Bulldogs got things moving in the first inning, as Calvin Sherwood and Trey Peters scored in the first inning. Sherwood scored on a passed ball, while Peters scored on Max Baumer’s sac fly.
The Bulldogs added two more runs in the second inning, and then tallied four more runs in the fourth inning. The Batesville offense in the inning was led by Will Sherwood, Travis Lecher, Calvin Sherwood and Trey Peters, who all drove in runs.
Jack Grunkemeyer took the win for the Bulldogs. The pitcher surrendered zero runs on zero hits over four innings, striking out three. Sam Voegele threw one inning in relief out of the bullpen for his second appearance of the year.
Grayson Newhart took the loss for Greensburg. Newhart lasted two innings, allowing three hits and four runs while striking out one and walking zero.
The Bulldogs smacked one home run on the day. Lecher went yard in the second inning for his third home run of the year.
Overall, Batesville had nine hits on the day. Calvin Sherwood, Peters, Voegele, and Willy Sherwood all managed multiple hits for the Bulldogs.
The win extends Batesville’s winning streak to 11 with an overall record of 17-4. The Bulldogs sit alone atop the EIAC with a 9-2 conference record. The Bulldogs look to extend their winning streak to 12, as they travel to South Dearborn to take on the Knights in the EIAC matchup.
