I am Phil Nean. Here's a look at Wednesday sports. The integral bulldogs will be running
into a scrimmage coming up on Friday. They've been practicing the last couple of weeks.
Co head coach Kyle Kelly talked about what the team needs to build on after making it to
level two of the playoffs last year. Just kind of build on what we had last year. We have
a solid offensive line coming back and we have a couple solid athletes in the backfield.
So just execute the basic things. And also the scrimmage coming up will be key for the
bulldogs. Yeah, we'll be at Lancaster. It starts at five. We're going to play Benton
Scales Mount and Lancaster. It should be two real teams that will be good for us to
see competition wise. It'll be finally be cool to get a hit somebody that's not on
their own team. That's you find your practice practice, your drill, your drill drill.
And at about time we get to play an actual team. I asked co head coach David Clang about
early in the season for the bulldogs. It's been really good. The group has been really
enthusiastic, really good team bonding and encouraging. It's really nice to see. It's
kind of different than what we've had in the previous years that how they all build off
of each other and work. I've been working really well with each other.
When you get season started lots of times you get the hottest weather of the year. Was
that kind of a challenge last week? A little bit. And that's what we've had in different
years. Some years like the first week is super cold and you almost need a sweatshirt.
And then the first game is 90 degrees and then really throws it for a curve. And that's
kind of a glass week is a little bit of everything. But the guys adjusted well and hopefully
we don't have too many more hot days or hot games because that can be a challenge, especially
with low numbers.
So the bulldogs will be at Lancaster to open the season with a scrimmage coming up on Friday
night. Also in local sports from Richland Center's Church League softball. It was the next
round of tournament action. Last night free Methodist eliminated Grace Community 17-2.
Nathan Phillips was four for four with eight RBI's and Josh Hassel was three for four in
the win. The Knights of Columbus then eliminated free Methodist 6-4. AJ Clone had a go ahead
double for the Knights. The mission advanced in the championship bracket coming from behind
in the seventh to defeat Church of the Nazarene 6-5 in a great defensive battle. Jamie
Johnson went three for three and scored three of the six runs with Alyssa Gander reaching
base all three times and a great defensive play in the seventh to throw a runner-out trying
to get to second base. St. Mary's also advanced topping Richland
Baptist Temple 1-8-1. Ryan Carrons had some scorching hits and Father Koon added two
clutch singles. The Knights of Columbus knocked out Richland
Baptist Temple 1-18-9. Grant Worthington scored four times and AJ Clone reached base safely
five times. And Richland Baptist Temple 2 eliminated Church of the Nazarene 10-6. Malachi
Fretz had a three run home run. Derek Calland was three for three. The turn of an action
continues on Thursday night of this week. On East Diamond at seven o'clock the mission
will play St. Mary's Church of the Nazarene will umpire. At 8.45 on East Diamond Thursday,
the loser of the seven o'clock game plays the winner of the 7.30 game. The loser of
the 7.30 game will umpire. On the West Diamond on Thursday night at 7.30, Knights of Columbus
will play Richland Baptist Temple 2 with free Methodist providing the umpires. Turn
the action concludes next Tuesday. Updated tournament brackets are available. Quail

While the brewers continue to impress enemies. They had five home runs among their 15 hits
last night while blanking the pirates 14 nothing. That's 11 wins in a row. Starter Freddie
Perol to held the pirate scoreless on three hits through six innings. The homers came
off the bats of South Freelich, Christian Yelich, Andrew Vaughan, Caleb Durbin and Bryce
Terang. South Freelich talked about the brewers scoring runs.
It's always nice to score a lot of runs, but you know, I'm not like surprised by any
means, especially when the offense is clicking like it is and we're getting great support
from the pitcher. So it's been great for the brewer pitchers to get that kind of run support.
Here is Freddie Perolta. We have a lot of young guys, but at the same time they are better
respectful and they ask questions and all that. And I think that's a big part, a huge part
of the responsibility that they have, the commitment that we have as a team. And 19 does
the more important thing. Everybody knows we're moving together. We pull into the same way.
And 19 that makes everything special. Brandon Woodruff takes the mound this afternoon as Milwaukee
goes for a three game sweep. They are the first team with multiple winning streaks of at least
11 games in a season since the 2015 Toronto Blue Jays and the first nationally team to accomplish
the feat since the 1935 Chicago Cubs. The Cubs lost yesterday to Toronto. Five one,
that means the brewers are now seven and a half games in the lead in the division. Cleveland
four three over Miami. It was also Kansas City eight five over Washington, Arizona beat Texas three
two and the angels seven six over the Dodgers in the National League. Cincinnati six one of
a Philadelphia the men's 13 and Atlanta five Colorado three nothing over St. Louis San Diego five
San Francisco one in the American League Seattle one Baltimore nothing the Yankees beat Minnesota
nine one white socks nine Detroit six Boston 14 one over Houston and the athletics six nothing
over Tampa Bay. Well Packers quarterback Jordan love is not expected to get back on to the field
before the regular season starts. According to his head coach Packers dot com reports that love
underwent an undefined medical procedure Tuesday morning with coach mountain floor saying he
anticipates a quote quick recovery. That means in the meantime that Malik Willis will take over
and they're hoping to get some of those injured players back real soon. This excited for the
opportunity excited to go out and have some fun play this game. I mean, we're all, you know,
looking for opportunity and look that to be ready for each opportunity that we get,
especially when it comes to going out and just running the offense. I feel like that's what
is most important. It's not about going out and doing anything crazy. It's about making sure
that we stay on schedule and we'll continue to do we can to make place. The Packers will take on
the Colts coming up on Saturday afternoon. Freshman linebacker Nick Clayton has the banjo is
excited about his potential senior linebacker Darryl Peterson says Clayton could be quote
one of the greats Peterson points to his quickness speed and work ethic sports illustrated
reports that the first year player is already gained 30 pounds since arriving on campus.
And Bobby Portis tells reporters that a lot of his teammates have something to prove.
The bucks aren't getting a lot of respect from the rest of the NBA these days behind the
buck pass dot com reports that Portis thinks the team will use that lack of respect to fuel its
effort. Kyle Kusman may have the most to prove if he does. Portis believes he could be the
X factor. The bucks need to disprove those who don't believe in the team. I am Phil Ney with an
update on sports.
