- The Okmulgee Bulldogs faced a tough day on the diamond Tuesday, falling in both games of a doubleheader to the Prague Red Devils in decisive fashion. A pair of second-inning scoring surges by Prague proved too much for the Bulldogs to overcome.
--- Game 1: Prague 12, Okmulgee 2
The Bulldogs opened the scoring in the top of the first inning when Brandon Simon singled to bring in a run, giving Okmulgee an early 1-0 lead. However, Prague responded quickly and forcefully.
The Red Devils pushed across three runs in the bottom half of the first, then exploded for seven more in the second inning. Key hits included a two-RBI single by Carpenter and an RBI double from Trevizo. A combination of timely hits and patient plate appearances allowed Prague to seize full control of the game.
