BOBCATS SPLIT OPENING DAY

NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA - The season started offensively with a 7 run first inning only to see East Mississippi CC fight back to get within a run.  BSC collected 6 hits led by Johan Sandoval's first pitch double.  With the score 7 to 6 in the 7th, Odilio Cespedes launched a 2-run homer to give the Bobcats a three-run cushion. East Mississippi CC scored in the top of the 8th.  Bobcats scored another in the bottom of the half of the inning.  Jerry Deitz came in with a 1,2,3 inning to preserve the victory with a final score of 9-6. Pim Vijfvinkel had a double and 2 singles in the opening game. 

In the second game, a very talented Delgado team turned the tables on the Bobcats.  The Dolphins sent eleven batters to the plate in the first inning to post seven runs of five hits to take the early lead. The Dolphins maintained the lead throughout the game. Victor Gorman had a rbi single for the Bobcats resulting in a 15-1 loss for Bryant & Stratton. 

"We came out on fire scoring 7 runs on 7 hits in the opening inning. We played inspired baseball against a good East Mississippi squad.  Pitchers need to throw more strikes but for the first time out, I was very happy overall." Bob Godlewski, Head Baseball Coach

The Bobcats play Delgado at 6 pm on Friday, February 24th.
