The Bulls have hit a rough stretch losing 2 of the last 4 games. Errors and player no-shows were the cause of both losses; one to a winless Lugnuts squad.

GAME ONE - Brett Barkley, Jerry Sillivan, and Allan Ward combined to limit the Giants to only 4 hits but walks and errors allowed the Giants to climb back into the game. The Bulls took the lead 4-3 going into the last frame but timely hitting and an infield error allowed the Giants to win the game in the bottom of the 7th. The Bulls also gave away three out with errors on the base paths.

GAME TWO -  The Bulls rebounded in the 2nd game of the doubleheader by out-scoring the Panthers 16-1 in 5 innings at Lively Field. Allan Ward took the mound and pitched 5 complete innings notching 8-K's while only giving up 4 walks and 3 hits. On the offensive side, Brett Barkley went 3-4 with 1-3B, 2-1B, and 5-RBI. Brad Bryant went 3-3 with a walk and 3-RBI as well.

GAME THREE - Jerry Sillivan helped his own cause pitching 5 1/3 innings against the Gringo Bats keeping their hitters off-balance the entire game. Les Eason finished the game striking out 3 of the last 6 batters in the game. Allan Ward, Rob Romero, and Justin Dearing each had multiple hits. Les Eason went 4-4 with 4-RBI on the day as well.

GAME FOUR - In the last game of the weekend, the Bulls were left shorthanded against the winless Lugnuts at Lively Field. With only 8 players available for the game, Allan Ward and Jerry Sillivan took the mound and tried to keep the score close as possible. The game was within reach at 4-2 going into the last inning but the Lugnuts pitching kept the offense in check. The Bulls only registered 2 hits for the day before losing to the Lugnuts.

After two weeks of wet weather and 5 games rained out, the Bulls faced the Mudcats in a doubleheader at Valley Ridge Park in Cedar Hill.

In Game 1, Quincy Winkler took the mound and pitched 7 complete innings as he struck out 11 batters and walked 6 to earn the win after a rough 1st inning where the Mudcats scored two quick runs. The Mudcats kept the Bulls offense in check through the first four innings before the team scored 5-runs in the 5th to take the lead for good. The Mudcats added two more runs at the end of the game but the Bulls prevailed 8-4.

In Game 2, Jerry Sillivan started his first game for the Bulls on the mound as he pitched 5 complete innings against a short-handed Mudcats team playing with only 8 players the entire way and plagued by errors. Sully struck out 5 batters while only walking two the entire game. The Bulls were able to close out the game early 11-1.

The Bulls started off the rain-soaked Fall Season with a sweep of the Padres in a doubleheader at Lively Field. Although the team was short-handed, newcomers Jason Thomason and Jarrod Kittle contributed to both victories.

Game 1 - Quincy Winkler gave up only hit through 5 innings as he struck out (9) Padres giving up only 4 walks along the way. Winkler also broke up a tight game with a 2-run homer in the 4th to put the Bulls ahead for good as the team won 5-2 in 7 innings. Jeff Thomason and Allan Ward combined to close out the last innings.

Game 2 - Allan Ward pitched 5 complete innings in the error-laden second game of the doubleheader. Errors in the field and behind the plate allowed the Padres to creep back into the game after an 8-run 2nd inning by the Bulls. Ward struck out (7) Padres to notch his first official win.

Although we're supposed to expect wet weather during the fall, the recent rains have left fields unplayable because of ground saturation. The next three games have been scheduled and uploaded to the team website. We are expecting more rain this week so make sure to check the league rainout line if you can't reach me. That is going to be the most recent info available.
