SAB Baseball 

Your SAB Bulldogs Varsity Baseball team had an outstanding start to the season picking up right where they left off last season. The boys dominated their first game against Beal with an 18-0 mercy win lead by pitcher Carter McCullagh. The second game didn’t look too promising at first, as the Dogs were down 7-1 in the 5th inning—but they made an incredible comeback to defeat West Elgin 8-7 in the bottom of the 7th. Relentless pitching came from Carter McCullough, Max Kalman, Cole McRoberts, and Harrison Howlett.  Shoutout to Cole McRoberts for not only recording his first hit as a Bulldog, but also making his pitching debut in Game 2. 

Special recognition to rookies Reed Granton and Riley Keating for their impressive hitting and to Josh Rock for his walk off at bat to win the second game . Roll Dawgs
