In the first game they took on the Hamilton Southeastern Royals and taken to school in the second inning where they gave up 9 runs on only 3 hits but committing 6 errors. The final was 16-4. Performing for the Bulldogs were Whitney Axsom going 3-4 and 2 RBI, and Kylie Paul and Gabi Garcia went 1-3.
In the second game the Bulldogs took on Beach Grove and brought there bats with them. Scoring 8 runs in 5 innings and defensively held their opponents to just 2 runs the Bulldogs appeared to be in control. Beach Grove however had different plans as they scored 2 in the 6th and 3 in the 7th before Kelsey Huffner shut the door making the final out on a nice play at short. The final was 8-7. Key performers for the Bulldogs were Kara Obermeyer going 2-3, and Gabi Garcia, Bre Hartman, Kylie Paul, and Whitney Axsom all going 2-4.
