On Monday afternoon at Memorial Park, the Swanton Bulldogs Junior Varsity baseball team outlasted the Hicksville Aces 15-11 in a non-league game.  The Bulldogs built an 8-1 lead after two innings but allowed the Aces to score four runs in the top of the third to pull within 8-5. 

Swanton responded with seven runs in the bottom of the inning and lead 15-5.  However, Hicksville kept the pressure on by scoring six times in the top of the fourth inning to trail only by for runs at 15-11.  The pitching and defense tightened on both sides at that point to end the scoring.

On the offensive side for the Bulldogs, all nine starters and two players that later entered the game had at least one base hit.  Harry Pancoast went 3 for 5 with three RBIs and two runs scored.  Eli Bolyard drove home four runs and scored twice and Christian McCarthy had three hits and scored three times.

The JV’s will stay at home tonight to face the Tinora Rams.
