Bulldogs Defeat North Central

The Bulldogs pushed the win total to six last night with a big non-conference victory over North Central 11-1. After a quikc 1-2-3 inning by sophomore pitcher Garrett Copley the Bulldogs jumped on the board in a big way. Greg Hughes led off the day with a single and the bases quickly loaded with back-to-back walks to Tyler Bireley and Logan Kabrich. Charlie Brewer, Cameron Martin, Jake Smith and Copley and Hughes followed that with 5 RBIs hits in the next seven batters to bring the score to 7-0 after the 1^st. Copley cruised in the second and third, not allowing a single hit for the Panthers while the Bulldog offense tacked on 3 more runs on 2 hits. The Panthers snuck 1 run across the board in the 4^th after back-to-back hits, but that was all the offense they could drum up for the day. In the bottom of the 5^th, Greg Hughes reached base on an error, was pushed to 2^nd on a single from Bireley and scored on the game-ending run on an overthrow by the North Central catcher. The Bulldogs ended the game 11-1 after 5 innings and Garrett Copley collected his first varsity win for the Bulldogs. The Dogs move to 6-2 (2-1 HCC) and will be home against Fishers on Thursday and Saturday of this week.
