Sluggers Deal Bulldogs 5-1 Defeat
The St Louis Sluggers downed the Georgia Bulldogs, 5-1. The hitting star was designated hitter Taylor Ward. Ward hit 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice for the Sluggers. Cristopher Sanchez, who went 5 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with no runs on 8 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 12. His record now stands at 3-1. The Bulldogs fall to 14-18 and continue their lackluster start to the 2026 season.

Early in the game, Ward had a 2-run home run for St Louis. It was his 5th home run of the season and put the Sluggers on top, 2-0.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Ward.
