GAFFNEY, SC - In their final region matchup of the season, the Boiling Springs baseball took the trip up I-85to Gaffney and the traffic must've made them mad because they took it out on the baseball as they defeated the Indians 11-1 in six innings on Monday night.
JD Moore and A Staiger started the top of the second inning with back-to-back singles, one on a hit to centerfield and the other on a bunt. Two batters later Kyle Patterson worked a walk to load the bases before Landon Stevens singled to left field scoring Logan Merchant, who was the courtesy runner for Moore, to give the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead. Kai Lee followed Stevens with a single to centerfield scoring Staiger and then Justin Dawkins was up next hitting a sacrifice fly to right field allowing Patterson to score and make the Boiling Springs lead 3-0 over the Indians. Boiling Springs added another run in the top of the third inning when Staiger, who was hit by a pitch, scored from first base on a single to right field by Kohen Bridges to make the lead 4-0 over Gaffney. Moore and Staiger repeated the second inning in the top of the fifth inning as both reached base on a single to centerfield and a bunt. Merchant, running for Moore, and Staiger both scored from second and third bases respectively on a Patterson single to right field to give Boiling Springs a 6-0 lead. Patterson scored on the next at-bat when Stevens tripled to right field before he scored with two outs on a Dawkins single to centerfield to push the lead to 8-0 over the Indians. Boiling Springs added three more runs in the top of the sixth inning as Chansen Cole started the inning with a double to right field and was followed up by a Moore single to centerfield. Cole scored on a double by Bridges to left field before Merchant scored on a single to right field by Patterson to make the lead 10-0 over Gaffney. Bridges later scored on a fielder's choice to make the score 11-0 in favor of the Bulldogs.
