LUBBOCK — A couple of big innings was all it took for the Wylie baseball team to score a playoff-opening win over Lubbock Cooper on Friday in a game that saw its start delayed three hours by lightning.
The Bulldogs plated three runs in the first inning and answered a four-run Cooper fourth with five in the sixth before holding off a late Pirate rally for a gutsy 8-7 victory in Game 1 of the best-of-three bi-district series.
