This game actually started out being a pretty good game with no score after 1, and Riverheads leading 1 to 0 after 2 innings. In the 3rd inning the young Bulldogs (only 1 senior, 3 juniors, 3 freshman and 5 sophmores) had their first of 7 errors on the night, although it was still 3 to 1 after 3 innings. In the 4th, Riverheads got the bats going, and the Bulldogs had consecutive errors at 2nd and SS on easy fly balls, and backed that up with an error in left field 2 batters later on another catchable ball. Freshman Zach Wright pitched admirably against the defending state champs, only giving up 3 earned runs in 4 1/3 innings, but the Bulldog errors and Gladiator pitching was too much to overcome. In the 5th, the Gladiators broke it open and never looked back. The Gladiators do all the little things right, are very well coached, hit well 1 through 9, pitch and play good defense, and it's no shock they are still undefeated.
