Houston Academy scored four two-out runs in the fifth inning to break a 2-2 tie then held off a late Eagle rally attempt to take a 7-4 win Tuesday night in a Class 3A, Area 3 high school baseball game…
With the win, Class 3As’ sixth-ranked Raiders clinched a state playoff spot. Providence Christian , ranked No. 9 in the state, needs a win in Thursday’s game against HA to make the playoffs and also force a second game between the two teams to decide the area champion. The teams play at 4:30 p.m. at Northcutt Field. If HA wins the first game, it clinches the area title and allows Wicksburg to earn the No. 2 spot for the playoffs.
McGee earned a save for Tucker Jackson, HA’s starter who went six innings and struck out 11, while allowing just five hits and two unearned runs. Trey Summers and Dalton Taggart were both 2-for-2 with Summers driving in two runs and Taggart one run.
