Forced to play away from home because of wet grounds, the Swanton Bulldogs traveled to Otsego High School and defeated the Knights 9-3 to even their record on the season at 1-1.  Carson Lemons started on the mound for the Bulldogs and threw four innings, giving up four hits and two runs (one earned) while walking two and striking out five.  Dennis Robinson pitched one inning of scoreless relief and Luke Marlow tossed the final two innings allowing one run.

The Swanton offense had only six hits but they were timely and spread across the lineup and the Bulldogs took full advantage of seven Otsego errors.  The score was tied 2-2 going into the top of the fifth inning but the Bulldogs broke the game open with one run in the inning, two more in the sixth and four more in the seventh to put the contest out of reach.

Marlow, hitting leadoff, reached three times with one hit and two HBPs and scored all three times.  Brady O’Shea had a clutch RBI single and scored a run.  Carson Bond had one hit and scored twice.  Owen Hurst had one hit, one RBI, walked two times and ran down a long fly ball to left field to rob the Otsego hitter of a sure double.

The Bulldogs travel to Pettisville to take on the Blackbirds then are scheduled to come home on Thursday to play the Delta Panthers.
