The baseball team has had a great start this season in league play opening up the season with a 5-0 record against league opponents this season. Many players up to this point have contributed to this great start for the team. One of those players is standout Jacob Howard. Jacob has been playing decent in the field lately by having a respectable fielding percentage of .864%, but that isn't where he is doing his real damage. His real damage is coming when he is batting. He is batting at a .400 average. He is also leading the team in hits and runs while also being second in the RBI category.
What also contributes to the Bulldog's great start is great pitching coming from the pitching staff this season. The pitching staff is averaging 1.47 ERA (earned runs average). The pitching staff is being led in this category by Brayden Shaw, who is hosting 0.027 ERA. Another great pitcher on the staff is Jayden Jerger. Jayden, who also has a low ERA at 1.00, is second in the category. Jayden has started 4 games this season and appeared in 5. This has allowed Jayden to rack up 5 wins this season with 0 losses on his record. While Brayden doesn't have as many winning decisions as Jayden, he still has zero losses on his record this season. Another standout on the pitching staff is Jacob Howard, who has an ERA of 2.02 and has 3 wins on the season.
The Bulldogs will be back in action Tuesday the 27th at Bath High School down in Lima, Ohio. Then they will travel up to Toledo, Ohio, to play Toledo Central Catholic on Thursday the 29th.
