On the next play of the drive Lewis was able to push his way through the Blue Devil defense to make the score 13-6. The 2 point conversion was good with a pass to Alexander Minnehan to make the score at the end of the 3rd quarter 13-8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the fourth quarter, Batavia was able to run the clock and move the ball half way down the field, where Cody Burns came from behind the line to a full out sprint down the field for a 57 yard touchdown to make it 19-8 with three minutes remaining in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Blue Devils were able to hang on and stop the Bulldog offense and are now 2-0.
