Garner kept their playoff dream alive on Tuesday afternoon with a 3-1 road win over Southeast Raleigh.
Garner started hot in the opening frame when CJ Shmitt hit a solo home run to dead center and Garner was up 1-0. The Bulldogs answered in the bottom of the first off Trojan starter, Jackson Pleasant as the Bulldogs got a single run to tie the score.
It would remain 1-1 until the sixth inning when Garner pushed across the winning runs with Jesse Fisher and Colin Perry on base, Trojan second basemen, Connor Torruella laced a two-run double to left center to give Garner a two run lead.
Matt Powell picked up the win in relief as he pitched for scoreless innings to strike out nine Bulldogs and keep Garner alive heading into a BIG Friday night show down at East Wake.
The Varsity Softball team also picked up a road win, scoring three runs in the first en route to a 8-1 win over the Bulldogs.
Garner will be back at home TOMORROW night at 6:00 when they host Cary.
