Barbers Hill 10 Splendora 6 Final

[BHFAN]

Bolstered by the relief pitching of Chase Barrera, Barbers Hill defeated Splendora 10-6 Friday night in a District 23-3A contest. Barrera came on in relief of starter Bailey Glandt to pitch 5 1/3 innings to get the win. Barrera gave up one run on one hit, no walks and struck out 13.

Offensively, BH made Splendora pay for the gifts the Eagles received. The Wildcats were ahead 5-2 with 2 outs in the bottom of the second when the second baseman committed an error. Colby Townley then sent a 2-2 pitch over the centerfield wall to cut the deficit to one. Michael Padgett then followed with a game tying homerun to left center.

In the fourth, Barbers Hill plated 5 runs to take the lead for good. Kyle McDonald started the rally via a 3-base error. After a walk to Barrera, a wild pitch scored McDonald. A couple of more walks and another wild pitch accounted for the second BH run of the inning. With 2 runners on base, Cameron Campbell doubled to right scoring Townley and Padgett. Eventually, courtsey runner Tony Carmona would score the fifth run of the inning on a wild pitch.

Barbers Hill goes to 2-0 in district and 15-1 for the season. BH will travel to Huffman on Monday, host Tarkington on Tuesday and visit Liberty on Friday. All games start at 7:00.

Should be an interesting week in 23AAA. I wonder if Cleveland played on Friday or Saturday. I haven't heard how they did.
