GRAND PRAIRIE – Not even 12 hours after posting 18 runs to knock out Paris College in an elimination game, the red-hot Navarro Bulldogs continued their streak in a 14-1 win over Angelina College in Tuesday’s semifinal round of the Region XIV Conference Tournament in Grand Prairie.

Bulldogs Josh Ragan and Scott Hastings each hit three-run homers in the first inning, and Francisco DeJesus added a three-run blast in the third to help knock the Roadrunners out of the tournament and end AC’s season.
Blake Lazarine drove in AC’s lone run with an RBI single in the fifth inning.
The Roadrunners finished the season with a 24-32 record, including two wins to open the tournament.
