It may have taken eight innings to finish the job, but Florala ultimately got the result they hoped for on Thursday. They had just enough and edged out the Freeport Bulldogs 3-2. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Wildcats have posted since February 26th.

The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.7 runs on average over those games.
