Nora Grace Mercer had a standout performance at the plate, going 4-for-4. She doubled in the fourth inning and added singles in the first, second, and third innings. Congrats to Nora Grace for picking up hit 100 as a Toombs County Bulldog!

In the second inning, the Lady Dawgs continued to extend their lead, capitalizing on a Vidalia error and getting RBI singles from Casey Cantwell and Stringer.

The offensive explosion continued in the fourth inning, where the Lady Dawgs scored seven runs on five hits. Emerson Powell tripled, driving in three runs, Mercer doubled in another, and Quintero added two more RBIs with a single.

The Lady Dawgs’ offense was firing on all cylinders, with 14 hits in total. Bland, Powell, and Quintero each drove in three runs. Stringer and Aniston Powell also had multiple hits. Mercer was active on the basepaths, stealing two bases. Defensively, the Lady Dawgs were flawless, committing no errors.
