Queen City hosted Paul Pewitt in district action on April 4, and the Brahmas left town with a 14-2 loss in a five inning affair.

QC’s scoring began in the bottom of the second when Chase Norman reached first base after being hit by a pitch and scored after singles by Kendal Griffin and Davis Dupree.
Dalton Wright lined a drive to Pewitt’s left fielder, which dropped the ball, and the Bulldogs had the bases loaded.
