Thursday night treated the Bulldog baseball and softball teams well, with both adding a win over Nixon-Smiley to their perfect district records.
Lady Bulldog softball (5-0, 8-11-1) came back from an early deficit to take a 10-8 game over the Mustangs while Marion baseball (5-0, 13-6) picked up an 11-1 run-rule in six innings.
