Dansville at Fulton – – Baseball – – First Game of Doubleheader – – The Bleacher Denizen – – April 1, 2025 – – by Chuck Krafft

Today, the Bleacher Denizen is off to Fulton High where the hometown Pirates will host the Aggies from Dansville in a baseball doubleheader.

Many long time readers know that for about five years back in the past, I had to deal with the nefarious Fulton Weather Curse. It seems that almost every time I covered a Fulton game in any sport, the weather would decide to make either my trip or the game itself a difficult experience. Today, we have weather that is far more inviting to polar bears than to baseball players, but the game must go on. Your Bleacher Denizen will simply have to shiver his timbers and take his notes.

Here are the starting lineups for Game 1. Thanks to Fulton Coach Jeremy Stephens and Dansville Coach Matt Bailey for providing me with this information.

Dansville will be the visiting team and will bat first. Here are the starting lineups.
