Bullers throws complete game, totals 14 strikeouts

Pitching has been the strength for the BGM baseball team this season, and that continued in a Class 1A District 8 game Monday in Winthrop against GMG.

The Bears won 7-1, behind a complete game at the mound from Jacksyn Bullers. Bullers allowed just two hits all game, striking out 14.
