VICKSBURG — Visiting Buchanan, ranked No. 2 in the Division 3 preseason poll, improved to 8-1 on the year as it swept a non-conference doubleheader from Vicksburg Thursday.

In the first game, Buchanan led 5-1 when the Bulldogs scored six times in the bottom of the fourth to take the lead. The Bucks responded with a three-run sixth inning to pull out the victory.

Hailee Kara was 3-for-3 with a double and two RBIs, while Camille Lozmack, Alea Fisher and Hannah Tompkins all had two hits.

In the nightcap, a nine-run fourth inning erased a 4-1 decision for the Bucks, who scored three more in the sixth and six in the seventh to turn the game into a rout.
