Bulldogs lose two to Phantoms, one to Irish

The West De Pere Phantoms won both games of a doubleheader against the New London Bulldogs May 13.

The sting of the losses was magnified by a scary moment in game one when center fielder Joe Schuster caught a fly ball and then crumbled to the turf in pain while trying to throw the ball back to the infield. After receiving medical attention for a knee injury, Schuster’s teammates and coaches helped him back to the dugout.

New London didn’t do well after the break, losing game one by a score of 5-0 and then losing game two by a score of 10-0 after five innings.

New London also suffered a 7-1 defeat at the hands of the Freedom Irish May 16.
