Terry 8, Loyd Star 3

The Bulldogs added three more runs, in the sixth and seventh innings, to close the contest.

“Our bats did not come out tonight like we needed,” said Britt. “We struck out too many times. We have to do a better job at putting the ball into play and put pressure on the defense. Hats off to Terry, they are a solid ball club with a lot of senior leadership. Hopefully, we can bounce back and pick up another big district win against Prentiss.”
