Softball Preview: Baldwin Indians vs. Bolles Bulldogs
The Baldwin Indians will look to defend their home field on Monday against the Bolles Bulldogs at 6:30 p.m. Baldwin is coming into the matchup hot, having won their last four games.
Baldwin is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Florida's top teams: Creekside, who was ranked 25th in their home state at the time (Baldwin was ranked 12th). Baldwin walked away with a 7-2 victory over Creekside on Thursday.
Shaylen Bryd spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered two runs (both of which were unearned) on eight hits.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Jazmine Ramos-Merced, who went 1-for-4 with a home run, two runs, and two RBI. Another player making a difference was Amiyah Jones, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3.
Meanwhile, Bolles scored the most runs they've had all season to find success on Thursday. Everything went their way against Andrew Jackson as Bolles made off with an 18-6 win. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
Baldwin's win was their ninth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 23-1. As for Bolles, the victory made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 7-16.
Baldwin might still be hurting after the 9-1 loss they got from Bolles in their previous meeting back in March of 2015. Thankfully for Baldwin, Hannah Lee (who kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits over 6.2 innings pitched) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
