Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Mt. Zion). They put the hurt on the Riverdale Raiders with a sharp 33-26 win on Thursday. The Bulldogs' victory was nothing new given the team hasn't lost yet this season.
The team relied heavily on Lacey Collier, who got on base in five of her seven plate appearances with six stolen bases, six runs, and seven RBI. Collier is crushing it when it comes to stolen bases: she's stolen at least one every time she's taken the field this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Haley Howell, who scored five runs and stole nine bases while getting on base in five of her seven plate appearances.
