Baker played a solid nonleague tennis match against Hermiston Thursday at the Ash Grove Complex.
Baker won just five of the 16 pro set matches played, but Baker coach George Keister said his team played some good tennis.
Gracie Huggins was the only Baker girls to win her singles match, 8-1.
Baker’s boys doubles teams of Brandon Stairs and Ryan Schwin and Ezra Taylor and Hunter Stone won their matches.
Stone then teamed with Hollis Robb to win a mixed doubles match.
John Cunningham and Emma Finley also won their mixed doubles match.
Baker returns to league play Saturday when the Bulldogs host Vale at 1 p.m.
