BAINBRIDGE – Brent Rideout stepped away a hero for the Bainbridge-Guilford varsity baseball team on Monday, April 10, as he drove in the winning run for his side against Unatego in the bottom of the seventh inning, to clinch a crucial win.

In what was a tightly contested game from start to finish, Unatego took an early 2-0 lead after the first inning.

B-G were held without a hit until the fourth inning – in part due to superb pitching from Unatego’s star pitcher – Seth Burnham a four year varsity player who secured 12 strikeouts in the contest.

The Bobcats were able to break out, and tie the game on a two run scoring single from Austin Carr – moving the game to 2-2.

Neither team budged an inch for the rest of the game, until Rideout drove in the winning run for his side in the dying embers of the game.
