The Nashville Hornets scored three runs in the third inning and made them stand up, posting a 3-2 win Saturday over St. Anthony in the Greenville Round Robin.
The Hornets, who only had three hits in the entire game, scored all three of their runs without benefit of hit. They combined two walks and two errors to tally three unearned runs.
The Bulldogs scored single runs in the first and third. In the opening inning, Beau Adams led off with a base hit, went to second on a sacrifice bunt and scored on an RBI single by Angelo Mendella.
After Nashville scored three times in the top of the third, St. Anthony got one of those runs back in the bottom of the frame. Adams walked and came around to score on a double by Eli Levitt.
The Bulldogs had another good scoring opportunity when Will Hoene led off the fourth with a double. But a double play ended that threat and St. Anthony had only two base runners over the final three innings.
Brock Jansen pitched the first three innings and took the loss, despite allowing only one hit and those three unearned runs. He walked two and struck out one. Josh Blanchette pitched the final four innings.
The Bulldogs ended their regular season with a 17-9 mark, but have dropped four of their last five games. They will now open regional play Wednesday. They will face either Ramsey or CHBC at 4:30 p.m. in a semifinal game of the Altamont Regional.
