CLYDE — Ira baseball coach Toby Goodwin was ecstatic when his team opened its Region I-1A semifinal matchup against May with five runs in the top of the first inning of Thursday’s Game 1 as the Bulldogs rolled to a 10-0 win at the Hanner Sports Complex.

The Game 2 encore left him almost speechless.

For the fourth time this year, Ira’s offense pushed at least 12 runs across the plate in an inning as the Bulldogs rolled to an 18-2 win to clinch the series. It was just one run off their best inning of the year, which they accomplished twice in eight days in mid-April. Thursday night’s outburst was also the 10th time this year that Ira had posted an inning with double-digit runs in just 21 games.
