Tazewell blasted three home runs and Mike Wood hurled a three-hit shutout Thursday as the undefeated Bulldogs topped Carroll County 9-0 in a Southwest District contest in Hillsville.

Wood struck out 11 in a shutout performance on the mound and added a two-run homer at the plate as the Bulldogs cruised to the 9-0 win.

Blake Bowman, Dillon Bryant and Graham Matthews each had one hit for the Cavaliers.
