Dayton Boys Still Alive

ROSALIA - The Day­ton Bulldogs baseball team may have played its last two games of the season Tuesday night, but they're still in the running for the playoffs. They will likely end up in sixth.

The young Dogs lost both games in their doubleheader against the Tekoa-Oakesdale- Rosalia 5-2 and 13-1 in the final five-inning game. They ended the season 2-10 in league and 5-12 overall.

The losses were disap­pointing, head coach Sal Benavides said, but the team hasn't given up hope to get its act together for the playoffs starting Tuesday.

"We can beat the guys we've been playing if we didn't make those little mistakes," Benavides said. "We're trying to get it back, so we can compete with TCP or WP."

Those are the two league teams going head to head for third place in the league, likely hosting the now sixth- seeded Bulldogs at either home field in Prescott or Pasco Tuesday.

"We're the kind of team that can't afford to make any errors and has to score when we load the bases," Bena­vides said. "We're still alive."
