    Stephen McKay|Apr 23, 2014

    Bradey Holtz hit for the cycle and the Peetz baseball team couldn’t have found a better way to wrap up their regular season Tuesday as they swept both games from district rival Weldon Valley. Because of limited practice time and a truncated game schedule early in the season, the Bulldogs had struggled to get comfortable at the plate. After regular slate of games recently, and routine practices, Peetz exploded for 46 runs on their home diamond.
