Jackson Echols goes deep twice and accounts for 6 of 13 RBIs. Highlights also included a three hit night by Wells King and a complete game by Austin Hedrick.
The Warriors got on the board quickly in the 1st with a single by King, who scored on a double by Harrison McClure. Hedrick fanned one and outfielders John Livaditis and Will Johnson caught fly balls to end the Bulldog 1st.
Nothing doing for NAHS in the top of the second. In the bottom of the frame, Hedrick settled in and struck out 2 and Jake Johnston made a nice play at 3B to end the inning.

In the 3rd, Brandon Ector walked, stole 2B and moved to 3B on a passed ball. King singled to RF scoring Ector. McClure walked and King scored on a sacrifice fly by Johnson. Livaditis crushed a triple to score 2 more. Campbell Toye reached and knocked in Livaditis to make it 6 to 1. Hedrick was dominant in the 3rd, striking out one and inducing ground ball to King and popup to Livaditis.
Again the Warriors could get nothing going in the 4th. The Bulldogs were able to get 1 in the bottom of the inning in spite of 3 Ks by Hedrick to make it 6 to 1.

Johnson scorched a line shot at the Bulldog pitcher who, in an act of pure self preservation, stabbed it out of the air, to start the 5th. McClure walked and Echols homered (back to back games) to make it 8 to 1. Hedrick struck out another and Johnston made 2 plays at 3B in the bottom of the frame, but not before the Bulldogs put 3 on the board to make it 8 to 4.
Ector doubled and scored on a single to RF by King. Johnson reached on a base on balls and Echols homered for the second time to add to his gaudy RBI total (6) and make it 12 to 4. Bulldogs got nothing going in the bottom of the 6th with plays by Hedrick and King.
Johnston led off the top of the 7th with a triple and scored on a Bulldog miscue, but that was all the Warriors could muster. Hedrick finished with a 9th strikeout and two ground balls to King at 2B. Final 12 to 5.
