MACON, Georgia – (41NBC/WMGT) – The Macon Bacon dominate in a beat down over the Florence Flamingos 12-1 in eight innings in the first game back at home in a week.

After losing to the Forest City Owls 13-0 on the road Thursday night, the Bacon came back home with a vengeance scoring four runs in the bottom first, three in the bottom fourth, and five runs in the bottom 8th to end the game 12-1 on a runs rule.

Not to mention, Hunter Varnadoe pitched a full game (8 innings) while dealing 11 strikeouts, allowing three hits, and no earned runs. Everything clicked for Macon on the Kevin The Bacon’s birthday.
