The 14u Team 2025 started the weekend on Saturday afternoon.  They fell behind early in the match up and a 5 run rally in the 3rd inning wasn’t quite enough as they ultimately lost 12 to 5.  The big third inning was driven by a handful of Bulldogs as Parker, Johnson, Foster & Gurrola all drove in runs to tighten the game.  Dell’Omo was the lead offensive dog on the day, going 2 for 3 with a run scored.  Team 2025 next faces off against the NOVA Vipers on Tuesday night.

Mother’s Day itself was a busy day with an early start for many of our other Bulldogs teams.  The 9u Team 2030 was one of our 9:00am starts as they squared off against the Outlaws Select 9u team in Lorton.  Team 2030 earned their first two wins of the season coming away with 11 to 9 and 16 to 0 wins.  In game one the Bulldogs jumped out to an early lead owing to a 7 run second inning.  On the game Lucas, Aiden, Clark & Elliot all tallied multiple hits with Lucas leading the way going 3 for 3.  Team 2030’s bats would stay hot in game two where they would tally 12 runs in the 4th inning.  In the frame Ashton, Clark, and Carter all singled, Ryan did so twice, and Lucas C. doubled twice to drive the offense.  The offense backed stellar pitching led by Adam who allowed only 2 hits over 3 innings.  He was relieved by Lucas C. who followed his offensive exploits with a shutout inning from the mound.  Team 2030 will next be in action next Sunday against the Aldie Senators.  

Also starting the day with a 9:00am start was the 10 Team 2029 who used big innings in both games where they put up big, crooked numbers to secure their sweep against the Competitive Edge Swanson team.  In game one it was the second inning where the Bulldogs put up 8 runs to grab a lead they would not relinquish.  Johnny and Tony both doubled in the inning to go along with big hits by Shaun and Aiden.  Johnny would lead the Bulldogs in game one tallying 3 RBI in the 16 to 4 win.  The Bulldogs would also score 16 runs in game two on their way to a 16 to 8 win in the matinee.  They put up multiple runs in each of the first four innings, but it was the 7 run fourth inning that salted the game for Team 2029.  Johnny would again come up big in that inning notching an RBI but he was not alone as Tony, Braedon, Joaquin & Levi all joined the RBI parade.  Team 2029 will try to remain hot when they take on Team Virginia Mizuno in two weeks on the 23rd. 

Our final 9:00am start was the 12u Team 2027 who took on the Potomac River Dogs Blue team for a Mother’s Day twin bill.  They secured the win in game one with a big 5th inning where they posted 7 runs to break a 5 to 5 tie and earn the 12 to 5 win. Luke, Jayden, Will & Evan all tallied RBI’s in the inning.  Connor, Nate, Benjamin & Evan all recorded multiple hits and Evan added a total of 4 stolen bases for the Bulldogs.  In Game two the Bulldogs jumped out to an early lead, putting up 5 runs in the first inning, highlighted by James who hit his first home run – a 2 run bomb to dead center.  The Riverdogs would come back to take the lead before the Bulldogs tied it at 7 in the bottom of the fifth.  The game would end in a 7 run tie.  Team 2027 will be back in action next Sunday against the St. James. 

Our final Mother’s Day action saw the 8u Team 2031 take on the Shocker’s Baseball 8u team.  The Bulldogs fell behind early in both games and ultimately dropped both games.  The youngest Bulldogs only managed one run in game one, an RBI by Logan in the second inning.  The defense was strong though, committing no errors, Dylan led the team with 3 defensive put outs during the game.  Team 2031’s bats woke up in game two, but the comeback attempt, featuring a 4 run third inning ultimately fell short.    Henry was 2 for 2 with a run scored and Jackson recorded 3 RBI to lead the Bulldogs in game two.   Team 2031 will next match up against the Prince William Cardinals next Sunday.
