Brady 1-hitter boosts Baker, 6-0

By Staff | Mar 2, 2011

Ida Baker sophomore Sean Brady struck out 13 batters in a complete-game one-hit decision over District 4A-11 rival South Fort Myers Tuesday night.

It extends a streak of quality pitching performances by Bulldogs pitchers, but this time Brady got plenty of offensive support.

Junior Justin Pinto led the Bulldogs’ nine-hit attack with two hits, including a double, and one RBI. Steve Nason and Michael Watson each added two hits as well.

“We played good defense and put a three-piece game together tonight,” said Bulldogs coach Ryan Jackson. “It makes us 2-0 in the district, a good start.”

The Bulldogs (3-4, 2-0) host Palmetto Ridge Wednesday night.
