South Callaway junior center fielder Cory Hanger led off the game with a home run and the Bulldogs set the tone with a four-run top of the first inning in cruising to a 12-2, six-inning win over North Callaway in the Montgomery County Tournament championship game on Saturday evening.
"When you score early, it's a lot easier to play loose," Bulldogs head coach Heath Lepper. "We're finally starting to play well together. ... The players are starting to figure out what their roles are individually and they're having fun."
