Bulldogs 5, Springdale 0
By: Richard White
The official season opener was Friday, March 5th at Springdale and lefty Garrett Sandifer was on the mound for the Bulldogs. He threw four complete innings, but surrendered only three hits. He walked two hitters and struck out five in notching the victory. Senior Brennan Rogers followed Sandifer to the hill and was equally impressive, giving up one hit and no walks while fanning five batters and earning the save. Head coach Randy Gardner summed up the work of his two hurlers with one succinct phrase, saying, “Our pitchers threw strikes,” despite the windy conditions.
Offensively, the Bulldogs were paced by Tony Sandifer. The junior shortstop had three hits in four trips to the plate, stole a base, and drove in a run. No other GHS player had multiple hits, but another bright spot was sophomore Justin Sunde with a hit, four stolen bases, and two runs scored. Brennan Rogers added a double while senior Ethan Adams, junior Aaron Carter, senior Brandon Brewer, and junior Wil Caster all had solo hits, the latter two driving home single runs.
“We played well defensively,” said Coach Gardner, “and we hit the ball hard. The wind also impeded some possible extra base hits. It was very good way to start the season.” But the Bulldogs were just getting started, as they continued their tour of larger classification schools.
