The Bulldogs (6-10 overall) are in the middle of the pack in league play. They rank above Liberty Christian (3-7 FSL), Mercy (1-9 FSL) and Hayfork (1-9 FSL), but trail UPrep, which won its ninth straight Tuesday, and Redding Christian by four Daily News photo by Andre Byik games in the loss column.

U-Prep, interestingly, played with eight players for two-thirds of the bottom of the fifth inning. The Panthers' Bond Isheim, in the fourth inning, left the game with a bloody nose. He was on second base at the time and was replaced by Zach Hamilton. Once U-Prep's defense had to enter the fifth, the Panthers were out of players to insert into their lineup. After U-Prep's coach had a brief talk with the umpires, who ruled the team had to play with eight until Isheim could reenter the game, he called out to Danny Shepherd, who was standing at third, to play shortstop as well. "Wait, I'm playing both?" Shepherd replied. "Yeah," U-Prep's coach said. "You're an animal." Isheim relieved Shepherd of double duty after the Panthers recorded two outs in the inning. Isheim finished the game at third base. The Bulldogs next host Redding Christian (8-6, 61 FSL) at 3:30 p.m. Friday.
