Christian Moore added an RBI single and Seth Stephenson scored on a throw after a wild pitch in the frame.
Blake Burke had a three-run home run in the fifth inning. Ethan Payne hit a two-run home run in the seventh inning and Logan Steenstra added a solo home run in the eighth.
The Bulldogs scored its lone run in the sixth inning.
