The Toombs County Lady Dawgs used a huge third inning to cruise to an 8-0 victory over the St. Vincent’s Saints on Thursday night. A five-run outburst in the third, highlighted by clutch hits from Casey Cantwell and Mishi Smith, put the game out of reach and secured the win for Toombs County.

The Lady Dawgs’ offense came alive in the third inning when Cantwell doubled to bring in two runs, followed by a Shay Stringer RBI single. Mishi Smith then capped off the rally with a two-run single, giving Toombs a comfortable lead.

Cantwell was equally effective in the circle, tossing four no-hit innings while striking out four and walking none to earn the win. Stringer closed out the game with a perfect inning of relief, striking out two batters and allowing no hits.

At the plate, Stringer, Cantwell, and Nora Grace Mercer each collected two hits, with Stringer and Cantwell combining to drive in six of the Lady Dawgs’ eight runs. The aggressive base running paid off, as the Lady Dawgs stole four bases and played flawless defense with no errors.

With this victory, the Lady Dawgs continue finish the regular season 21-2 overall and 12-0 in the region. The look to take this momentum into the state playoff which start next week!
