Bulldog Head Coach Travis Feltner
“ I told our guys this game is about pitching and defense and I think we are really good at those two things, it’s exciting. We have some guys in our lineup that are inexperienced and some of our sophomores and juniors are as well, but that is only going to improve the more they play. I’ve seen very few regions won 17-13 so you have to be able to pitch it and catch it.
“…We have six guys that have logged significant innings. Eli Caudill hasn’t thrown a ton of innings but he has been in some high level situations, Grant Cochran and Gray Derifield have provided some serious depth and Braxton Davis and Boedy Maynard have been two senior studs that we need. We are really looking forward to the back half of our season.”
