LANIER WINS 1A TITLE WITH 6-1 WIN OVER SEMINOLE COUNTY
THE BULLDOGS CAPTURED THEIR FIRST REGION CHAMPIONSHIP SINCE 1984 WITH A CONVINCING WIN OVER THE SEMINOLE COUNTY INDIANS IN DONALSONVILLE ON TUESDAY. SENIOR ALL STATE PITCHER NATHAN BASS UPPED HIS RECORD TO 9-2 WITH A COMPLETE GAME EFFORT YIELDING JUST 5 HITS AND STRIKING OUT EIGHT. BASS WOULD NOT ALLOW MORE THAN ONE RUNNER ALL NIGHT EXCEPT IN THE THIRD WHEN HE ESCAPED BY FORCING A WEAK GROUND BALL TO JOSH FNEDER FOR THE 3RD OUT. OFFENSIVELY, LANIER JUMPED ON THE BOARD AFTER CORY MARTIN SINGLED AND SCORED ON AN RBI DOUBLE BY JORDAN PATTEN OFF THE LF FENCE TO GO UP 1-0. IN THE 3RD, ETHAN MCRAE MADE IT 4-0 AFTER WHITE AND BASS REACHED. HE HIT A MONSTER HOMERUN DEEP INTO THE WOODS IN CF. IN THE 4TH , RYAN WHITE ADDED A 2 RUN HOMERUN OF HIS OWN AFTER WAYNE PALMER REACHED ON THE ONLY ERROR IN THE GAME. FROM THERE, IT WAS GREAT DEFENSE AS WAYNE PALMER AND CORY MARTIN MADE PLAY AFTER PLAY. ETHAN MCRAE HAD 3 HITS FOLLOWED BY RYAN WHITE AND JORDAN PATTEN WITH 2 EACH. THE BULLDOGS FINISH THE REGION SCHEDULE WITH A (11-2) RECORD AND IMPROVE THEIR OVERALL RECORD TO (16-7) AFTER STARTING THE SEASON (1-4). THE BULLDOGS WILL HOST THE OPENING ROUND OF THE 2008 STATE TOURNAMENT IN LAKELAND ON MAY 9TH.
