Haxtun Bulldogs go 2-1 in last week's action; currently 4-3 overall

The Haxtun Bulldogs went 2-1 over the past week with games against Prairie, Yuma and Briggsdale. Haxtun took down Prairie and Briggsdale on their home field but suffered a loss to Yuma on the Road.

Thursday's action pitted the Bulldogs in a home contest with the Prairie Mustangs. Haxtun took a commanding 16-0 advantage after just two innings of play to control the entire contest, which only went to four innings. The Bulldogs added another four in the third, enforcing the mercy rule as Haxtun took the 20-1 victory.

Keegan Colglazier, Mason Bornhoft, Madden Larsen, Ryan Davis and Kanin Koberstein all batted 1.000. Grant Statz went .667 at home plate followed by Kash Workman, Austin Hanes and Ryland Wolff, all who batted .500. Wolff and Workman led in runs batted in, each with three.

Davis earned the win on the mound. He struck out one of seven batters. Carter Lock threw to eight batters, sitting down one. Jaxsen Schram faced three batters, striking out one.

Due to anticipated cold, windy, wet spring weather, Haxtun's double-header with Yuma slated for Saturday was changed to a single contest on Friday.

The Bulldogs took a 2-0 lead in the top of the second inning but the Outlaws added three runs in the bottom of the third for their first advantage. Haxtun tied things up in the top of the fifth and added two runs in the top of the sixth for a late game lead but in the bottom of the seventh Yuma managed three runs for the 6-5 win.

Bornhoft went .667 at home plate while Workman and Wolff batted .500. Workman led the Bulldogs with two RBIs.

Schelling threw the majority of the Bulldogs pitches against the Outlaws. He struck out nine of 27 batters.

Tuesday brought the Briggsdale Falcons to Haxtun for a single game outing. Haxtun put five runs on the board in the first, seven in the second, one in the third and five in the fourth to close out the game 18-3 in early innings.

Colglazier, Colin Cone, Hanes and Koberstein all batted 1.000 on Tuesday. Wolff went .667 at home plate while Bornhoft and Schelling each earned a .500 average.
