The Diamond Dogs are
back and in full force.
The Dogs took on
Limestone Feb. 25
Gardner-Webb opened up a
2-0 lead in the second inning
after an error by the Saints.
Blake Leverett came in with a
double and Eric Parks dove in
with a RBI-single.
Limestone came back to tie
to game 2-2 in the third inning.
But thanks to good pitching by
junior relief pitcher Daniel
Planck the Diamond Dogs were
able to subdue the Saints .
Planck took the mound in
the fifth inning. He only
allowed three hits over the next
four innings. He is making a
name for himself as one of the
top pitchers in the SAC this
season.
The Dogs went on to defeat
the Saints and will be in action
again on March 6 against
Catawba at noon.

The Lady Dogs Softball
team hit the diamond Feb. 23 in
action against Belmont Abbey.
In the first game Belmont
Abbey defeated the Ladies 6-0.
The Dogs defense had a season
high 8 errors. The offense was
equally off, with only four hits
against the Crusaders’ pitcher.
Sophomore Caley Parker
pitched for the Dogs.
Parker and Melissa Barrett
led the Dogs offensively with 2
hits each.
The next game had promise
for the Dogs. Beverly Proffitt
gave the spark they needed as
she began a three-inning rally.
With the Dogs trailing 3-0 in
the bottom of the fourth inning,
Proffit doubled, then stole third
base and finally scored on a
passed ball to put the Dogs on
the score board.
Dani Risinger added a two-
RBI double in the bottom of the
fifth. Bekki Reuter and Tracy
Mitchell both scored to tie the
game 3-3. Profit scored again
in the sixth inning bringing the
score to 4-3, where it would
remain.
The Lady Bulldogs will be
in action at home again on
March 8 when they host the
“Big Dog Tournament.”
