Bruin Baseball Wins to Open Rigdon Field
The new turf surface at Rigdon Field at Bill Doenges Memorial Stadium made its debut on Tuesday night and it was a Bruin winner in Bartlesville’s home opener against Enid.
BHS topped the Plainsmen 3-1 to split the two-game district series.
The first game was delayed by one day as the final touches were being put on the field.
Center fielder Bradee Rigdon led off the Bruins half of the inning with a flyout to deep center. Bradee is the son of late Bartlesville Athletic Director and baseball coach Spence Rigdon who passed away in November 2019.
Two runs in the bottom of the fifth stood up for the Bruin victory.
Braeden Winters hit a solo home run to left field for one of the tallies.
Burg threw the complete game, giving up just four hits and striking out eight over seven innings of work.
The Bartlesville Public Schools Board of Education voted to name the field after Rigdon. The new surface will be shared by BHS, Oklahoma Wesleyan University and the Doenges Ford Indians.
