Bulldog Junior Jarrett Fairchild
“… We played a very good team that was great offensively but struggled on the defense side of the game. We on the other hand pounded the baseball, it was a really hard day to be a defensive player, the winds were constantly blowing 25+ mph and changed directions. Overall we’ve played hard all week long.” It was my first varsity home run and I have never hit two in a game before.”
