The Badger baseball team traveled to Spokane on
Thursday, April 7, and swept the Riverside Rams
behind Jesse Dunham’s first no hitter of the
season and 37 total hits in the two games.
GAME 1 – BONNERS FERRY 19, RIVERSIDE 0
(5 innings)
Junior Jesse Dunham pitched a no hitter and the
Badger bats came alive getting 20 hits
including two doubles, six triples and a monster
three run home run from senior Caleb Gering in
a 19-0 romp.
The Badgers scored in every inning and every
player got a hit on the team. Senior Vince
Bennett led the team going 5 for 5 with two
triples, three RBI and three runs scored while
sophomore Brady Bateman went 4 for 4, two
triples, three RBI and five runs scored. Dunham
also
helped his cause by knocking in five runs going
3 for 4 with a double and triple.
