The Bulldogs improve to 4-4 on the season and is scheduled to travel to Houston Co tomorrow to take on Central GA foe Veterans but that is weather permitting at this time and the Indians fall to 7-4 overall and is scheduled to take on Pike Co on the road tomorrow and that is also weather permitting at this time.
Elsewhere, the Perry Panthers played for the third day in a row as they took on the Baldwin Braves on the road and fell 7-5 to the Braves. The Panthers got in a hole early and any time they scored, Baldwin answered and Perry could not plate enough runs as they would suffer their first region loss of 2024.
Perry falls to 8-2 overall; 1-1 in region play and will prep to play Spalding in Griffin next Tuesday in a region tilt while Baldwin improves to 4-5 overall; 1-1 in region play and will take on Westside (Macon) at home next Tuesday in a region tilt.
