The 8th grade baseball team opened their season before a sold out crowd at Stokes field with an impressive 7-3 victory over visiting Salk. After falling behind 1-0 in the top of the first, the Bulldogs erupted for three in their half of the first, highlighted by Mike Thompson's triple which scored Greg Thomson. Greg went 3-3 on the day with an RBI and roamed centerfield like Joe DiMaggio. Matt Ostrowski went 2-3 scoring twice and Paul Liguori scored and delivered a towering sac fly in the first for an RBI. Gerard VanLeuvan drove in one as did Chris Lorinzini. Flashing the leather were Mike Santor, Greg Apgar, Jude Brewer and Chris Caltabiano. Michael Thompson pitched all seven innings in earning the win. His mixing of pitches kept the Salk batters off balanced all afternoon. Nice job boys. Next up is Grand Avenue. Good luck.
