Newberry Baseball Team Claims Big Victory Over Whitmire
In a thrilling showcase of skill and teamwork, the Newberry High School varsity baseball team delivered a phenomenal performance against the Whitmire Wolverines, achieving a stunning 19-3 victory. This win marks a significant moment in the season for the Bulldogs, as they have now claimed four wins out of their last five games, bringing their overall record to an impressive 7-6 and their region record to 3-2 in challenging Region 5-AAA.
A Quick Recap of the Game
The Bulldogs kicked off the game with a bang, showcasing their strong offensive skills early on. They managed to score six runs within the first two innings, setting a robust foundation for the game. Despite a spirited comeback from the Wolverines, who rallied to score three runs in the bottom of the second inning, narrowing the score to 6-3, the Bulldogs retained their momentum.
After the initial innings, things shifted slightly when Blake Stribble took to the mound for Whitmire, stepping back into action after recovering from an undisclosed injury. However, the Bulldogs weren’t going to let anything dim their spirits.
Turning Point in the Game
As the game progressed into the fourth inning, both teams held strong, remaining scoreless during that period. Whitmire found themselves in a promising position, loading the bases, but unfortunately couldn’t capitalize on this opportunity. It was a potentially game-changing moment, but the Bulldogs stood tall, ready to pounce and take back control.
And then came the fifth inning, a turning point where the Bulldogs turned the game into a blowout. Scoring a staggering 13 runs in this single inning solidified their victory and left the crowd buzzing. Highlights of this explosive inning included:

- Bryce Satterwhite also contributed with an authoritative RBI double, adding two more runs to the tally.
- And in a move that electrified fans, Tayshaun Douglass executed a daring steal of home plate, further extending Newberry’s lead.
