Gary Pittman was the starting pitcher, going three innings, allowing no runs on three hits, walking one and striking out six. Landin Crummey pitched three innings of relief allowing three runs on three hits, walking none and striking out five. Offensively for the Indians, Parker Dixon was two for four with a double and two RBIs; Daniel Coleman was one for one with an RBI; DJ Bursh was one for one with a triple and an RBI; Brenden O’Connor was one for one; Anthony Johnson was one for three with a triple and an RBI and Kaden Burse had two RBIs. Andrew Lowery, Brodie Woodard, Parker Hardin and Ethan Rice all added RBIs. The Indians win 13-3 in six innings.
On March 21, 2018, Dodge County hosted Montgomery County. Parker Gay got the start on the mound going four and two-thirds innings, allowing one run on two hits, while walking one and striking out five.

Dr. Bird pleads guilty
Dodge County gynecologist Dr. George “Mack” Bird, III, age 59, appeared in the United State District Court for Georgia March 21, 2018, and pled guilty to the charges of conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
United States assistant attorneys from the Savannah and Augusta offices told the The Dodge County News in a phone interview on Monday that both of the charges were federal felonies and each carried up to five years of
imprisonment each without the possibility of parole.
Bird also agreed to forfeit approximately $2.7 million in assets and property that were seized as part of the investigation, and were traceable to his crimes.
As reported in the June 10, 2015 issue of The Dodge County News, Bird was charged and arrested with the sale of a Schedule IV controlled substance, possession of Schedule II and Schedule IV controlled substances with the intent to distribute, illegally written prescriptions and use of pre-signed prescriptions.
Those drugs included, but were not limited to, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office on March 26, opioids (such as hydrocodone combination products), alprazolam (Xanax), carisoprodol (Soma), phentermine (Adipex), and phendimetrazine (Plegine).
