The Winslow Bulldogs baseball team got back in the win column with a 10-7 victory over the Holbrook Roadrunners at Vargas Field in Winslow last Wednesday. The win improved Winslow’s record to 6-3 for the young season.
Chris Garrett got the win in relief of Caleb Layden. He allowed no runs on just two hits and two walks in three innings of work. Layden gave up seven runs, only three of which were earned, on seven hits and a walk in four innings of work.

The Bulldogs went up 3-1 in the bottom of the third on a hit batsman and a double by Colton Corum. Holbrook got a run in the top of the fourth on a single, two errors and a wild pitch to cut the lead to 3-2. Winslow plated four runs in the bottom of the frame on singles by Adrian Montoya, Vittorio Sells and Layden, and a home run by Matt Smith.
Holbrook tied the game at 7-7 in the top of the fifth inning on four hits, two errors and a walk. The Bulldogs scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning on singles by Garrett and Corum, a walk and an error.
