The Crown Point Bulldogs lost 0-9 to the Lake Central Indians on Tuesday, May 12, in a game in support of Mental Health Awareness Month. Both teams wore green shirts with the phrase “Break the Stigma” in partnership with Pillars of Wellness in northwest Indiana.

Lake Central had a strong start, scoring three runs in the first inning and six in the second. The Indian’s offense was also driven by multiple home runs throughout the game, while the Bulldogs struggled offensively and were unable to score.

When asked how the team can improve for future games, Sophomore Lulu Johnston said, “We as a team will learn from our mistakes to reflect and make sure we do not make any mistakes in the next game.”
