In the first scholarship signing of the school year, Bloomingdale High School senior signed to play at FIU.
The baseball season hasn't even started, but one Bloomingdale High School player is already batting 1,000. Surrounded by family, teammates, his coaches and Bloomingdale High School Principal Mark West, Cody Crouse signed a baseball scholarship to attend Florida International University in Miami. The Bulls pitcher called it a dream come true. "I've dreamed of this ever since I was a little kid," said Crouse who hopes to one day play professionally. After looking into a number of college programs, he said FIU was his first pick and was thrilled to receive the scholarship offer. The Panthers, currently in the Sun Belt Conference, will join Conference USA in July 2013. Under head coach Turtle Thomas, the Panthers won an impressive 40 games …

Bloomingdale falls behind in the 6A District 8 race with a loss to Alonso on Friday night.
Bloomingdale took an early lead in Tampa on Friday night; only to surrender 11 runs in a loss to Alonso, 11-2. Opening a decisive district game by scoring two runs in the first inning would be an early indication of any team's desire to participate in post-season play. For Bloomingdale, (12-9-0, 4-4-0, tied third place 6A District 8), the first inning was the only inning a runner would advance across home plate as Alonso's (14-4-0, 6-2-0, first place 6A Division 8) Jose Fernandez collected himself and blanked the Bulls for six straight innings. Richie Martin, Jeff Griffith and Brycen Gladbach aided the Bulls' offense and notched the only hits in a game that was dominated by Ravens pitching and set askew by untimely Bloomingdale fielding …

Bloomingdale (12-8-0, second place (tie), 6A District 8) travels to Alonso (13-4-0, first place, 6A District 8) with their eyes on the top spot, which the Ravens hold by one game.

Durant comes back after being down, 6-0, to beat the Bulls, 10-6 on Tuesday.
After locking down four wins in a row, the Bulls lose two straight after a heartbreaking loss to Durant on Tuesday night, 10-6. In the previous four game win streak, Bloomingdale (9-7-0, 3-2-0, second place 6A Division 8) outscored opposing teams, 35-12. In Tuesday's loss to Durant (10-3-0, 5-3-0, second place 5A District 8), the bats of Bloomingdale were impressive, but the arms of their young pitchers eventually wore down, giving up a promising lead to one of the county's toughest teams. Bloomingdale, behind the 4 RBI of sophomore infielder Garret Lorenzo and the hitting of Nolan Schrenker and Conor Malloy could not contain a six- run lead after four shut-out innings of baseball. The Durant pitching staff was inefficient and shaky at …

Bloomingdale traveled to Tampa on Tuesday with an eye on the district as they shutout Wharton, 6-0.
Wharton quickly found themselves in unfamiliar territory on Tuesday. With pinpoint pitching, solid defense and timely batting, Bloomingdale shut-out the Wildcats, 6-0. In its previous games, Wharton's pitching and batting found them baseball favor. Someone obviously forgot to pass that information along to the Bulls on Tuesday night as they combined to pitch a two hit shut-out and took advantage of Wildcat pitching to total 13 hits on 32 at bats. Bulls ace Robby Kalaf, coming off of a beautiful 112 pitch performance against Alonso on Friday, continued his magic on the mound against the best Wharton had to offer. Kalaf threw 74 pitches in five innings, striking out six and allowed only 2 hits and no earned runs. In recent games, it was the …
