Brandon proved they can win big on Tuesday (they won by 15) and on Friday they proved they can win the close ones too. They won by a run and slipped past the West Monroe Rebels 3-2. For the Bulldogs, this counts as revenge for the 8-2 win the Rebels walked away with the last time they faced one another back in March of 2025.

On the hitting side, Brandon's victory was truly a team effort as four different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Tre Adcox, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI. Kam Johnson also deserves some recognition as he scored his first run of the season.
