The weather proved more daunting for the Bulldogs than Capital City on Monday at the Fairgrounds Park tennis courts.
Mexico claimed the match 6-3, and the set wins were without drama. But one contest kept the small crowd fixated through a frigid northern gale.
Haden Frazier and Capital City’s Jonathan Dunville continued to joust long after the other spats had ended. Down early, the Bulldogs’ number two player closed the gap to 8-5.
Dashing corner to corner, side to side to extend volleys, Frazier was able to pull almost even and force an extra game. In the end, however, Dunville prevailed 11-9.
