Eight run second inning keys Chili Dogs to victory.

PEACHTREE CITY-The Home Plate Chili Dogs (Thompson) proved to be tough hosts Monday evening as they scored eight runs in the bottom of the second inning to defeat the Indiana Prospects 12-2 in a 15U Perfect Game event at the home of the former.
The Chili Dogs, who won the game in four innings, will face Rawlings Stretch Tuesday afternoon at 2:45 in another game of the wooden bat tournament.
Indiana scored the first run of the game in the top of the first inning as JT Mutchner singled and eventually scored on a one out single by Michael Curtis but Home Plate came back to tie the game in the bottom of the frame.
Ryder Wagenknecht, Chay Yeager and Sean White led off with walks to load the bases and after a strikeout, Braxton Roop hit a flyball to center field that scored Wagennecht with the tying run.
The Prospects came back in the top of the second inning to reclaim the lead as Logan Drow scored on a two out single to right by Case Lautenschlager but the lead would not last long as the Chili Dogs rallied.
Daniel Courtney reached on a single, moved to second on a wild pitch and after an infield single by Conner Faulkner, Quinlan Wiley laid a perfect bunt down the third base line allowing both runners to score as the ball was thrown away.
Wiley moved to third on the throwing error and eventually gave the Chili Dogs a 5-2 lead on a single by Elijah Jones.
Jones eventually stole second an moved to third on a wild pitch before Eli Garrett and Wagenknecht reached on walks that loaded the bases and created a pitching change for the Prospects.
Chay Yeager greeted the new pitcher with a two-run double and the lead was 7-2 with Wagenknecht advancing to third on the play.
After a sacrifice fly by Michael Maginnis scored Wagenknecht, the Chili Dogs finsihed the scoring in the frame as Yeager scored on a double by starting pitcher David White.
In the top of the third inning, the Prospects loaded the bases with two outs, but White was able to thwart any rally by the guests from the Hoosier state by recording a strikeout.
The Chili Dogs went scoreless in the bottom of the third inning and made a pitching change in the top of the fourth inning as White was replaced by Garrison Pierce.
In his three-inning stint, White allowed three hits, walked three while retiring four by strikeout.
Pierce began the fourth inning in trouble as he faced a bases loaded sitiation with one out but a strikeout and flyball to left field left the runners stranded and kept the score at 9-2.
In the bottom of the fourth, HP had designs on ending the game early as singles by Wagenknecht, Yeager and Maginnis as well as a pair of errors led to a pair of runs and a two out single by Jett Lovett led to the final run of the game.
Wagenknecht led HP with three runs while Yeager and Faulkner each had a pair of hits in the game.
