CONWAY — The Home Run Bulldogs saw their season come to an end last Sunday when they went 13 in the U12 Elite Baseball League’s playoffs. Still, the season can be viewed as a huge success as the youngsters were able to play 28 games in a summer where it looked like America’s favorite pastime might be shelved due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The fact we were able to get out on a field and play competitively, it’s a win,” said Coach Greg Allain. “The Bulldogs want to win and we’re disappointed we didn’t win more in the playoffs, but I’m happy most of the kids were able to play ball and a good amount of it.”
