In the field, the Bulldogs were equally impressive, commiting no errors. By comparison, Centralia had six.

MHS led 4-0 after one inning and never looked back, scattering the rest of their runs throughout the game.
Friday, the Bulldogs downed Hallsville 13-7, leading 2-1 after one inning and 6-1 after two. Their big inning would be the fourth, when they’d tally five runs.
The Bulldogs had 14 hits and Hallsville had 11.
Jack Wilburn collected the win, going five innings, allowing five runs on nine hits. Runge came on in relief, throwing two innings and getting the last six outs of the game.
