In the first game, Tyler George hit solo home runs in the third and fifth innings to lead the Bulldogs to victory.

West Albany starter Jeremy Burright gave up just one run on three hits with nine strikeouts and two walks.

Ben Cramlet went the distance for the Warriors, striking out one with no walks.

In the second game, George pitched five shutout innings as the Bulldogs rolled to an 8-1 victory.

West Albany (3-2, 3-0 MWC ) hosts Hood River on Monday. Lebanon (0-3 MWC) hosts The Dalles/Wahtonka on Monday.
