In the first inning, the Bulldogs got their offense started with a Will Watts two run bomb over the left field fence. The Dogs would add three more runs in the second inning with Jackson Jenkins, Dawson Brantley, and Brantley Upshaw all moving runners across the plate with RBIs in the inning.

The  Bulldogs collected 13 hits on the day.  Upshaw, Jenkins, and Tucker Braddy all managed multiple hits. Upshaw led the Dawgs with three hits in five at bats.

Ryder Sears took the loss for Toombs County Bulldogs. The lefthander allowed three hits and one run over two innings, striking out one and walking one. Jackson Jenkins, Tucker Braddy, and Lucas O’Conner all made appearances on the mound for the Bulldgs.

The Bulldogs fall to 2 -6 on the year but are are back in action on Thursday afternoon as they square off against the Swainsboro Tigers at home.
