Bulldogs Net 4-3 Win Over Aviators
The California Bulldogs locked up a win at Lowe's Field at Bojangles' Stadium, knocking off the North Carolina Aviators, 4-3. On the mound for California was right-hander Joe Hixson. He played a major role in the triumph. Jordan Vazquez got the save, the 15th for him this season. California is now 35-23, 6 games up in the Frontier League West.

A crucial at-bat came with a runner on 1st and no one out in the top of the sixth inning. That's when second baseman Chris Morrill, who leads the FL in doubles with 25, hit a double. The Bulldogs went on to win.

"A confident pitcher is a dangerous thing," said California manager Brett Williams. "That's what Joe is right now."
