Sophomore Jesse Dunham recorded his first high
school no hitter and senior Steve Anzalone had
his quest for a no hitter broken up in the 6th
inning with two outs as the Badgers beat the
Kellogg Wildcats 2-1 and 6-0 in league play last
Saturday. The Badgers overall record is 13-6 and
7-1 in league play.
GAME 1
Dunham struck out five and walked four while
keeping the Wildcat bats off balance all game.
With a scoreless game going into the bottom of
the 3rd inning, leadoff hitter Brady Bateman
walked. Dunhman hit a towering RBI double to
right center to score Bateman all the way from
first. The Badgers added a run in the bottom of
the 4th inning when Shay Garcia walked with two
outs and later scored on a passed ball.
The Wildcats made it interesting in the top of
the 7th inning when their leadoff hitter walked
and later advanced on a steal. With one out in
the inning, a Kellogg batter was hit by a pitch.
With runners at second and third and one out,
Kellogg scored on a grounder to second. The
tying run was stranded at third to end the game.
GAME 2
Senior Steve Anzalone had his no hitter broken
up with two outs in the 6th inning when Brandon
Stott of Kellogg hit a lazy single to right
field. Anzalone recorded 10 strikeouts while
walking only 2 batters in the 6-0 win.
The Badgers scored 2 runs in the first inning
after Dunham reached base on a fielder’s choice.
