The Carmi-White County Bulldog baseball team defeated Edwards County yesterday afternoon by a final score of 5-3.
It was all knotted up at 3-3 heading into the top of the 7th inning, but an RBI double by Travor Mason and an RBI single by Cade Allen put the Bulldogs ahead 5-3 heading into the bottom of the 7th.
The Lions answered with a solo home run to lead off the 7th to cut the Bulldog lead to 5-4, but with the tying run on 1st base, Mason was able to strike out the side to clinch the win for the maroon and white.
