East Palestine Bulldogs Secure Second Win in a Row with Return of Injured Player
In a thrilling game against Wellsville, the East Palestine Bulldogs secured their second win in a row with a 9-1 victory. The key to their success? The return of junior player Cale Moraski, who had been sidelined at the beginning of the season due to a collision during a preseason hitting practice.
Moraski’s return proved to be a game-changer for the Bulldogs, as he had a major impact at the plate, contributing two hits, four stolen bases, and three runs scored. His presence in the lineup ignited the team, with coach Aaron Walker praising Moraski as a “huge asset” to the team.
Despite facing a rough recovery road after his injury, Moraski’s determination and hard work paid off as he made a strong comeback on both sides of the field. His performance, coupled with standout plays from teammates like Kyler Bourne and Logan Guy, led the Bulldogs to a decisive victory.
On the other side, Wellsville struggled to capitalize on scoring opportunities, leaving eight men on base throughout the game. The Tigers also faced challenges with anger issues, as left fielder Nate McGraw was ejected after an argument with the umpire.
Overall, the Bulldogs’ solid performance and teamwork secured the win, improving their record to 2-5 in the Eastern Ohio Athletic Conference. With Moraski back in the lineup and the team firing on all cylinders, East Palestine looks poised for more success in the remainder of the season.
