A’Mya Stevens (So., Laurel/Northeast Jones) allowed only a single earned run in the first game, a 9-5 victory, and the Bulldogs cruised to an 11-6 win in the nightcap.
“We’re a good hitting team,” Gulf Coast coach Kenneth Long said. “We didn’t stress out about Monday. We had good BP yesterday and we hit some balls hard tonight. I was proud of the way we hit.”
