BOILING SPRINGS, SC - Two days after a tough loss on senior night that saw the Bulldogs honor their lone senior in Sydnee Spencer, they were able to bounce back in their regular season finale with a 13-6 road trip victory over Fort Mill on Thursday night.
The Bulldogs got a big game from catcher Sayde Parris who went two of five at the plate with six RBIs and two runs scored. Boiling Springs got the scoring started in the top of the first inning with one out as Myah Salters singled and Abbie Wilson walked before Parris tripled to left field bringing home both runners to give the Bulldogs a 2-0 lead. Addison Wheeler scored Parris with a single to centerfield giving them a 3-0 lead after one inning of play. Fort Mill answered with five runs in the bottom of the first and second innings to take a 5-4 lead over the Bulldogs, scoring four in the bottom of the first inning. Cloey Taulbee walked to start the top of the second inning before scoring from second base on a double to left field by Sydnee Spencer to tie the game at 4-4. Chloe Osteen, Chloe Sloand, and Wheeler all got three straight singles to start the top of the third inning. With two outs, Eleah McAbee doubled to the right side of the field to score Sloand to tie the game at 5-5 before Osteen stole home to give the Bulldogs back the lead at 6-5 over the Yellow Jackets.
