Baseball recap: Boswell clinches district title, Weatherford playoff bound behind no-hitter, Joshua falls in seeding game
Boswell 5, LD Bell 4
Brady Miller’s RBI single in the bottom of the eighth gave the Pioneers the walk-off victory over the Blue Raiders Friday night and helped clinched the program’s first baseball district title since 2013.
Boswell goes to the playoffs for the first time in five years and will play Eaton in bi district.
The Pioneers were in control for the most of the game leading 4-0 through five innings. Tristan Tenorio had a lead-off single in the bottom of the first and scored on a Coleton Sedberry ground out. Boswell extended the lead with three runs in fourth highlighted by an RBI triple from Wyatt Fielding.
But Bell, which forced a district championship game by beating Boswell earlier in the week, forced extras with three runs in the sixth and one in the seventh. In three consecutive batters, Bell got an RBI single from Will Podsednik, double from Cameron Harvath and two-run double from Anthony Rios.
Down to its final batter in the seventh, Bell tied it at 4 on a passed ball. Boswell had a chance to win it in the seventh, but Bell threw out the game-winner at home for the final out.
Sedberry led off the eighth with a single and advanced to third two batters later on an error.
Bell, runner up in 3-6A, will get Byron Nelson in the playoffs.
