After falling to Gaffney on Monday night 7-4 at home the Boiling Springs baseball team rebounded on Wednesday night by picking up a 5-2 road win over the Indians behind a strong pitching performance from the Bulldogs pitchers as they totaled fourteen strikeouts.
The strong Boiling Springs pitching performance got started from the very beginning as starting pitcher Tristan Smith pitched five innings allowing only one run on three hits while striking out ten Gaffney batters to pick up the win. Once Smith left the game after the fifth inning they also got two strong innings from reliever Will Holmes as he gave up one run on one hit while striking out four batters to pick up the save for the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs pitching also got some solid defense behind them against the Indians as Boiling Springs didn't have a single error in the field on Wednesday night. While the Bulldogs pitching was strong Boiling Springs also had a pretty good night offensively as well as they started their scoring in the top of the second inning when they got a two run homer from catch Vance Wagner on the first pitch of his at-bat to give Boiling Springs an early 2-0 lead. Will Holmes wasn't only strong coming on in relief pitching for the Bulldogs but also was pretty strong at the plate picking up two hits including a double in the top half of the fifth inning to score two runners and giving the Bulldogs a 4-1 lead. In the top of the seventh inning the Bulldogs added to their lead when third baseman Ben Hutchinson picked up a double and pushed the Boiling Springs lead to 5-1. The Indians added a run in the bottom of the seventh inning but that was all they would get to give the Bulldogs the 5-2 victory. The game Wednesday night was originally scheduled to be played on Friday night but the Bulldogs will now have six days off before their next contest on Tuesday night at home against Dorman.
