Bruin Boys Champions…Close Out Season TODAY at Home

On Monday afternoon Coach Wallin and his varsity boys baseball team eclipsed a major goal, and they did it in an extraordinary fashion. The 2019 Bruin boys baseball team became the 3A-5 Far West League Champions after going undefeated in league play and accumulating a 22-1 record after stringing together an incredible 15 game winning streak.

On Monday the Bruins traveled to Sutherlin to face off with the 10-3 Sutherlin Bulldogs and faced one of their toughest challenges in league play. The Bulldogs put their Ace on the mound, senior right-hander Cabe Meisner who pitched brilliantly going seven innings, allowing zero runs on two hits and striking out ten Bruin hitters.

Starting on the bump for the Bruins was senior hurler Roman Worthey, who also pitched a gem giving up no runs on five hits over seven innings while striking out nine.

Both teams played excellent defense with each team committing only one error in eight innings of baseball.

But in the eighth inning, both teams had to give up their starting pitchers due to pitch counts and the Bruin offense took advantage. Senior right-hander for the Bulldogs Payton Hope allowed a Bruin catcher Jacub McCollum homerun, as well as 2 walks and 2 hits for 5 runs in the top of the eighth inning.

The Bruins Andrew Burger relieved Worthey in the bottom of the eighth allowing 2 runs off of 2 hits as the Bulldogs just could not recover from the 5 runs scored by the Bruins in the top of the final inning.
