———-

In a tightly contested battle on Thursday, the Toombs County Bulldogs outlasted Savannah Christian 2-1 in a classic pitcher’s duel. Ty Hutchinson went the distance for Toombs, tossing a complete game and recording all 21 outs.

The Bulldogs struck first in the bottom of the first inning when Cameron Ledford delivered an RBI single on an 0-2 count to give Toombs a 1-0 lead.

Savannah Christian tied the game in the top of the fourth after grounding into a double play that brought in a run. The score remained even until the bottom of the fifth, when Joseph Owens came through with a clutch RBI single to give Toombs the go-ahead run.

Hutchinson was outstanding on the mound, allowing five hits and one unearned run over seven innings while striking out five and walking three. Savannah Christian’s Dawson Kelly also pitched well, surrendering just two runs on six hits over six innings with five strikeouts.

Ledford and Owens each drove in a run for the Bulldogs. Toombs County also played solid defense, turning two double plays and committing no errors.

The Bulldogs will return to action on Tuesday when they travel to face Swainsboro in the first game of a three game set. First pitch is set for 5:45 PM.
