The Wylie baseball team combined solid pitching and timely hitting to sweep Plainview, 4-2 and 8-2, in the Class 5A bi-district playoffs last weekend.
In Thursday’s Game 1 at Plainview, Jace Tomlin blasted a three-run home run in the top of the first inning, and the Bulldogs never looked back. Sophomore pitcher Dylan Regala limited the Plainview batting lineup to just two runs on four hits over five innings. Colby Garrett pitched the final two innings of scoreless baseball to close out the win.
Saturday’s Game 2 played out similar as WHS scored three in the first and two more in the third, cruising to an 8-2 series win. Colby Garrett and Hudson Tuley each drove in three runs to pace the offense. Brady Gay earned the win on the mound, pitching four innings and striking out three.
The Bulldogs (21-4-1) are heading to the area round of the Class 5A Division 2 playoffs where they will play El Paso Del Valle. The three-game set starts Friday, May 9 at 6:00 pm CST. Game 2 will be Saturday, May 10 beginning at 12:00 pm CST. Game 3 will follow if necessary. All games will be played at Andrews High School.
