What: In a makeup doubleheader on Tuesday, the Bucs split with the Eagles of Hudsonville, losing the first game, 5-2 and winning the second game, 2-1. Strong pitching and consistent defensive play contributed to the victory in the second game. However, runs were scored early by the Eagles in the first game put the Bucs in a tough position and they were not able to recover.

 

They said it: “We pitched well and played defense well,” Junior Riley Walcott said. “One thing that always helps too is our ability as a team to never give up, we’re a good unit.”

 

Up Next: The Bucs play host to the Spring Lake Lakers on Friday, May 25.
