Wolverines Get Two In The Fourth To Defeat Bulldogs
Gallatin did everything it could to upend the 12-2 Maysville Wolverines Thursday night in Grand River Conference play, but a pair of manufactured runs by the visiting Wolverines were enough to send Gallatin to a loss.
Gallatin simply couldn’t get its offense up and running against the Wolverines, collecting just three hits in the contest. AnnaBelle Ball, Betty Rogers and Karydon Jones each had one hit, but Gallatin could never string enough offense together to create a run.
A tough of a time as Gallatin’s offense had, Ball gave Maysville’s lineup a pretty rough go as well. In fact, Ball yielded just one hit in the entire seven-inning contest. But an error helped things snowball in the fourth and Maysville scratched out what would be the only two runs of the game in that inning.
“We struggled to get the bats going tonight and Maysville’s pitcher did a great job keeping us off balance,” Gallatin head coach Penny Gardner said. “We had one fielding error that haunted us a little, but overall we played really well.”
Gallatin dropped to 5-4 overall on the season with the loss and 2-4 in Grand River Conference play.
The Bulldogs have a tough start to the week; they hosted 7-3 Mid-Buchanan on Monday and will welcome 8-3 South Harrison to town for a GRC contest on Tuesday. The South Harrison contest is slated for a 5:30 p.m. first pitch.
