Bulldogs Survive Lady Rays in the Game of the Weekend, Then Capture Top Gun Gold

Some championship weekends are remembered for the final game.

This one will be remembered for the game before it.

The ENC Lady Bulldogs walked away as the Top Gun Gold Bracket Champions at Shipyard Park in Charleston, South Carolina, but in my opinion, the championship game of the weekend wasn’t the title game—it was their semifinal showdown against the Carolina Lady Rays 10U Polanco.

I was there.

I watched both teams battle in what turned into one of the best games of the tournament. The energy, the pitching, the defense, the crowd, and the dramatic ending made it feel like the championship had already arrived.

The Bulldogs entered the matchup riding plenty of momentum, but they knew they had another challenge ahead. Earlier in the tournament, they had defeated Clemson Cadence 7-0 and Smithfield Smashers 18-0 before falling 5-1 to the Lady Rays in pool play. That set the stage for a winner-take-all rematch with a trip to the championship on the line.

From the very first pitch, it became obvious neither team was going to give an inch.

It quickly turned into a classic pitcher’s duel.

ENC’s Scarlett M. was outstanding in the circle, throwing a complete-game three-hitter while striking out nine Lady Rays hitters. She consistently worked ahead in the count and made it extremely difficult for Carolina’s lineup to put together any momentum.

On the other side, Lady Rays pitcher Charlie was every bit as impressive.

Charlie struck out seven Bulldogs while allowing just three hits through 2⅔ innings. She kept one of the hottest offenses in the tournament quiet and gave her team every opportunity to win.

For two innings, both pitchers controlled the game.

Every strikeout brought louder cheers.

Every defensive play seemed bigger than the last.

Neither team committed a single error, proving why both deserved to be playing deep into Championship Sunday.

The turning point finally came in the top of the third inning.
