The Bulls created their first win streak of the season defeating the second place Orioles squad at South Hills HS last weekend. Robert Mendez made his first pitching appearance of the season going (4) strong innings and giving up only (2) earned runs along the way. The aggressive hitting style by the Orioles created (11) total strikeouts for Bulls pitchers. Fireballer, Brad Moore provided (2) innings of relief with (4) K's and Brian Brisbine closed out the game recording another (4) strikeouts in the last two frames. The Bulls offense scored (12) runs extending their streak of scoring ten or more runs for the 5th consecutive game. Patience at the plate proved to be the deciding factor as hitters took advantage of (11) free passes by the Orioles pitching staff and (5) errors by their fielders.

The Bulls bounced back from a rough outing against the Keller Rangers with a strong offensive output versus the Nationals at Craven's Park last Sunday. Newcomer, Gabe Sanchez, took the mound for the Bulls and provided some much-needed consistency as a starting pitcher. Sanchez pitched (6) complete innings giving up only (1) earned run on (6) hits, (4) strikeouts and only (1) walk the entire way. The Bulls offense scored (10) or more runs for the fourth consecutive game as they pounded out a team record (26) hits on the way to an 18-14 win. Several players snapped out of hitting slumps including the Benitez brothers who combined for (6) hits and (8) RBI in the win. The Bulls play next at South Hills HS vs. the FW Orioles on Sunday 4/21.

The Bulls found a little success squeaking by the FW Cubs 10-6 in Game 2 but resorted to bad habits again versus the Keller Rangers in Game 3. Allan Ward notched his first win of the season taking the mound against the Cubs at Z-Boaz and pitching 6 complete innings. The Bulls jumped out to a quick 9-0 lead in the first two innings but a tight strike zone and timely hitting by Cubs batters shrunk the lead to 10-6 going into the last frame. Brad McKinney took the mound to close the game but loaded the bases before striking out the tying run at the plate for the last out of the game.

The Keller Rangers exploited numerous errors and a record (11) walks issued by (5) Bulls pitchers (another record) to record their first win of the season. Brad Bryant, Carl Shuler, Rick Downs, Jason Miller and Matt Carter all took the mound for the Bulls but could not stop the Rangers from scoring (18) runs throughout the game. Although the Bulls offense seems to be firing on all cylinders, fundamentals in the field and on the mound are a continuing issue for the squad.

The Bulls season started off on the wrong foot in their first game of the 2013 season. Facing a Lonestars team that has never beaten the Bulls, Carl Shuler took the mound and held his own against the hard-hitting Lonestars through the first four innings. Unfortunately, infield errors created too many opportunities for the Lonestars to score runs as they tagged the Bulls pitchers for one grand slam and another 2-ruun homer to put the game out of reach for good. Justin Davis was one of the few bright spots for the Bulls as he went 2-4 at the plate with a double and a grand slam of his own. However, his 5 RBI in the game were nowhere near enough to help the squad. Brad Bryant pitched two scoreless innings to close out the game.

NOTABLE HITTERS

Justin Davis - 2-4, 2B, HR(GS), RS, (5)RBI
