Boyd-Buchanan had a season-high 16 hits – including six home runs – and needed most of them to nail down a Region 3-A berth Monday at Silverdale Baptist Academy.
With the 17-10 win over the Seahawks, the Buccaneers secured a day off today. Wednesday they will play the winner of today’s 5 p.m. losers-bracket final between Arts & Sciences and host Silverdale.
Colby Morgan and E.J. Matthews each went deep twice, accounting for eight of the Bucs’ runs. Also homering were Cooper Hodge and Seth Rogers. Silverdale boosted the homer total to nine for the game with Blake Howard getting two (three RBIs) and Hayden Spencer one.
“Those guys are strong and have really quick bats. The home runs they hit would’ve been out of a lot of ballparks,” Seahawks coach Jonathan Adcock said.
“It’s a good place to play, especially offensively when you run into one and hit it right-center and right – it’s going out,” said Boyd-Buchanan coach Taylor Gilley, whose squad improved to 20-4. “On the bump, it’s a different story.”
