Sulphur Enjoys 2nd Best Record In Class 4A Baseball At 22-2; Head Into Final Stretch
The Sulphur Bulldogs continued their impressive spring surge with a perfect 4-0 week, pushing their season record to 22-2 and securing the second-best mark in Class 4A as the regular season enters its final stretch.
Sulphur beat Bethany, 6-1, on Monday to keep the streak going.
The Dogs opened the week last Monday with a solid 6-3 win over Purcell Dragons, fueled by a dominant performance on the mound from Michael Morris. The right-hander went the distance, allowing just four hits and three earned runs while striking out six on an efficient 78 pitches. Offensively, Carter Cole and Drake Wood provided the spark with back-to-back home runs in the fourth inning, turning a tight game into a 4-1 advantage the Bulldogs would not relinquish.
Sulphur wasted no time completing the sweep at Purcell Tuesday, overwhelming Dragons 19-2 in the victory. Sulphur erupted for eight runs in the opening inning and never slowed, finishing with 20 hits and 19 RBIs. Bridge Barrett and Colten Cole led the charge with four hits apiece, while Colten Cole, Carter Cole, and Traber Sartors each left the yard with blasts over the fence. Drake Wood earned the win, striking out six and allowing just two runs over five innings.
On Thursday, Sulphur carried that momentum into a 10-2 win over Ada Cougars. Jayden Mc-Clure turned in a strong outing, allowing three hits and two earned runs while striking out four over six innings. After a slow start, the Bulldogs broke the game open with a big sixth inning to secure the run rule. Maddax Mobly paced the offense, going 2-for-2 with a double and two RBIs, while Morris contributed both at the plate and in the field, finishing 2-for-2 with an RBI and two walks.
Sulphur capped the week with a wild 21-16 victory over Caddo Bruins on Friday.
In a game dominated by offense, the Bulldogs showcased their firepower against one of Class A’s top-ranked teams. Traber Sartors delivered the biggest blow, going 2-for-3 with a double, a grand slam, and six RBIs. Despite struggles on the mound, Sulphur’s relentless hitting proved the difference.
“We are playing good baseball right now,” said head coach Denton Miller. “I am proud of the guys’ work ethic and commitment to each other. But it is important that we keep getting better as we go into the last two weeks of regular season play.”
The Bulldogs now turn their attention to a crucial district series against Bethany Bronchos on Monday and Tuesday, followed by challenging matchups later in the week against Marlow Outlaws and Mount St. Mary Rockets—two of the top teams in Oklahoma.
With a potent lineup and growing confidence, Sulphur appears poised for a strong postseason push, provided the Bulldogs continue to sharpen their play in all phases of the game.
