Silverdale Baptist catcher Ian Reagan locked in with Sebastian Hanks to shut the door in Tuesday’s 7-6 road victory over Boyd Buchanan.
The Seahawks’ battery retired the final two batters swinging with nasty low and away curve balls to hang on to a key district win.
Reagan starred at the plate, driving in four runs – which came on a suicide squeeze, a two-run double down the left field line and an opposite field line drive single.
“Ian’s presence behind the plate is incredible,” Silverdale Baptist coach Lance Rorex said. “He could go 0-for-4 at the plate, but who he is as our catcher and leader on the field outweighs anything else. He puts on a clinic every time he’s out there. His communication is unbelievable, he controls the run game and he calls every pitch. What he does with the bat is just extra for this team.”
For the second season in a row the Seahawks have started 10-0, but this year’s group appears more complete.
