Bulldog Baseball Uses 3-Run 6th to Sink Polson

The Whitefish Bulldog Baseball team was back in action, Tuesday afternoon, as they made the trek around Flathead Lake to visit the Polson Pirates.

This was the 3rd time in 4 games that Whitefish was matched-up with a conference opponent, to start the season.

The Bulldogs, behind Tait Orme's 5 Innings played solid defense, had timely hitting and came away with a big 6-1 victory.

Orme allowed just 3 hits, walked 1 and struck out 5 in his first start of the season.

After a scoreless first two innings, the Dawgs got the party going in the 3rd.

With one out in the inning, Reyd Hobart would walk and steal a base. He stood on second and Drew Queen came to the plate.

Queen would hit a laser off the first basemen's glove scoring Hobart, to give the Dawgs an early 1-0 lead.

Whitefish would score two more in the 4th. Finn Ryan Walked and then Reed Boyeer Doubled to put runners on 2nd and 3rd.

A wild pitch would score Ryan and then Carter Godsey grounded into a Fielder's Choice RBI to score Boyer. 

The Dawgs would lead 3-0 after 4.

Whitefish tacked on 3 more in the 6th for good measure. Polson added 1 in the 6th but Cullen Wallace shut down the Pirates in relief.

Queen, Godsey and Hobart all picked up RBI's in the contest. Whitefish worked 9 walks in the game and had 6 stolen bases.

With the win, Whitefish improves to 3-1 overall, 2-1 in conference play.

Polson falls to 2-4 overall, 2-3 in league play.

Up Next: The Dawgs are scheduled to host Noxon, on Thursday, weather pending, at 4pm. Thursday would be Whitefish's Home Opener.

That game is scheduled to air on Outlaw Country.
