March 23- It all looked bad after the five-run Morristown East first inning, but the Bulldogs scrapped back into the game. The comeback did not start until they were down 7-0 but the third inning was huge for their confidence. Claiborne managed to get two on the board and added two more in the fifth.
To keep the game going, the Bulldogs needed three runs in their final at bat of regulation and did just that. They held the Hurricanes scoreless in the top of the eighth and won it in the bottom of the eighth.
