Murphy, NC- The Bulldogs showed their offensive firepower in Tuesdays matchup against Hayesville, scoring 15 runs in just 6 innings and sending the Yellow Jackets home early.

Briggs Cornwell allowed just 3 hits on the mound for the Dogs over 5.2 innings while striking out 8 Hayesville batters. Cole Laney came on in relief and recorded the final out of the 5th inning.

Hayesville jumped out to an early 1-0 lead, but that wouldn’t last long as Briggs Cornwell hit a 2 run bomb to center, scoring himself and Joe Swain.

Cornwell wasn’t the only Bulldog to take Hayesville deep however, as Joe Swain had an incredible night at the plate- going 3-3 with 2 doubles and a homerun.

Cornwell, Braden Rumfelt, John Ledford, Isaac Cole, and Will Carringer all were also credited with extra-base hits on the night.
