Bulldog Head Coach Sam Sparks
“ I felt like we competed well in all 3 games. It was good to face 3 good teams and pitchers as we prepare for what’s down the road.”
“ We really like the format and the way the 2A committee runs things and you couldn’t ask for better hospitality than what was offered by the Owensboro community.
Hopefully we will get a chance to come back.”
“ As for our game versus ACS it was good to see us score some me runs against a really good pitcher. We just have to play clean on defense and cut down on our unearned runs.”
