The Bulldogs (15-10, 4-4 NCMC) finished with nine hits and had four of them go for extra bases to hand conference and district foe Moberly (23-4, 7-2 NCMC) its second conference loss.
Drew DeMint went 2-for-3 with three RBIs and a triple, Sam Ryan finished 1-for-3 with two RBIs, two runs and a double, Landon Hilderman went 2-for-3 with a double, and Jaydon Eldridge had a double. Austin Maxwell, Brady Fox and Chance McCarty each had one RBI. Eldridge pitched 6 2/3 innings with seven hits, four strikeouts, three earned runs and three walks.
Mexico had a 3-2 lead after three innings and then scored three runs each in the fourth and fifth innings. DeMint cleared the bases with a triple in the fourth inning to make it 6-2, and Ryan drove in two with a double and Maxwell had a RBI single in the fifth inning.
