Once again the Bulldogs played tough but like it was on Monday, they came up just a little short as the Panthers defeated them 3-1. Drew Luker getting the start on the mound for Sweet Water was tagged with the loss dropping his season mark to 3-4. In his six innings of work he allowed three runs on seven hits, three walks and two hit batsmen while striking out three. On offense the Bulldogs didn't have much to brag about as Jeremy Tucker posted the teams only two hits against the Panthers.

The first one was set for Monday, April 9, in Mobile against Mobile Christian.
