Thorndale improved to 10-1 after taking down Granger 8-2 on the road Monday evening.
The game was close throughout, with the Bulldogs putting up one run in every inning from the second through the sixth and GHS scoring a run in the third and the fifth.
Going into the seventh up 5-2, THS added some insurance with three more runs scored. First, Hunter Thigpen got on base when Granger’s third baseman Tanner Wilkie dropped a pop fly. Hunter Clark then got on base with a single and Carter Brymer helped load the bases after getting hit by a pitch.
Thorndale scored all three runs after Kaden Kovar, Logan Davis and Coy Stutts all walked and won their fifth straight district contest 8-2.
Davis led at the mound with 11 strikeouts in seven innings.
LAST WEEK—Six days earlier, the Bulldogs defeated Bartlett 21-0.
THS scored 16 runs in the third inning with hits from Clark, Stutts, Layton Mogford and Bryson Beran. Davis also had a home run.
Beran led at the mound with eight strikeouts in three innings and Mogford struck out two in two innings.
