Eagles and Dawgs Spilit in Baseball

With a 12-0 record and a number one 3A ranking,  Silver Lake appeared to be the favorite over the 9-1 Bulldogs in a double header pitting the two leading teams in the Mid-East League.
But the Dawgs were not impressed and inflicted a 7-2 beating of the Eagles in the first game.  Scott Shinn only allowed 4 hits,  but one was a home run.
But,  the Eagles bounced back and the wheels came off in a 6 run third to put an 11-1 hurt on the Dawgs.
