Bulldogs Break Through Early
North Caroline set the tone early, manufacturing runs in the opening innings before breaking the game open with a four‑run surge that put pressure on Easton’s pitching staff. The Bulldogs finished the day with 10 hits and capitalized on key opportunities with runners on base to create separation.
Warriors Struggle to Find Rhythm

Defensive Execution Makes the Difference
The Bulldogs played clean baseball defensively, committing no errors and turning routine plays into outs. Easton, meanwhile, was limited by missed opportunities, as North Caroline’s fielding and pitching worked in sync to preserve the shutout.
Player of the Game
Ethan Poore (North Caroline) earns Player of the Game honors after tossing a seven‑inning shutout, allowing five hits while striking out eight. His command and efficiency on the mound set the tone early and never allowed Easton to build momentum.
