NATCHEZ — With a combined 35 runs, the Cathedral Green Wave swept over the visiting Dexter Bulldogs to finish undefeated in Region 8-1A.

The two wins also clinch the region championship for the Green Wave.

In the first game, Cathedral scored 16 runs in the first inning and took complete control of the game.

Dexter managed to score a run in the second inning, but that would be the only offense for the Bulldogs, who lost 23-1

Cathedral scored three more in the second and four more in the third inning and came away with the victory after Dexter batted in the fourth inning.

“We played good defense and hit the ball very well,” Cathedral head coach Craig Beesley said. “It was a great team effort.”

Jenkins and Blasé Bradford led the Green Wave with a triple and single each.

In the second game of the doubleheader, Cathedral slowed down the offense, but scored enough to end the game after five innings of play.

Cathedral scored five runs after three straight singles by Jesse Morrison, Aaron White and Tyler Ballard and took an early lead over Dexter.

The Bulldogs managed to score a run in the fourth inning thanks to an early hit by Kevin Herring, but it wouldn’t be enough as the Green Wave piled up the runs and took the victory after five innings of play.

“Our younger guys came in and did a good job,” Beesley said.
