Two great runs in the class 3 & 4 playoffs this year. Starting in class 3, Rogersville used come from behind baseball to reach the final four, but the magic ran out. In the quarterfinals, the Wildcats rode a complete game from Randy Preslar and two 4 run innings to an 8-6 win over Carl Junction. Rogersville trailed 3-0 until they put up 4 in the third. The inning was highlighted by a Seth Conner 3 run homer. Rogersville then trailed 10-2 in their semifinal matchup with Bishop DuBourg. They rallied with 5 in the fourth and 4 in the sixth, but a couple of insurance runs kept them behind as they fell to the third place game with a 12-11 loss. The Wildcats tried a different approach in their final game grabbing a 6-2 lead, but Pembroke Hill plated 8 runs in the bottom of the fifth and held off the Wildcats 13-7.
Webb City faced off with #1 state-ranked Rock Bridge in the quarterfinals and eliminated them from the playoffs 5-2. Breckin Williams and Patrick Drake combined to allow the Bruins only 7 hits. Next up came the Tyler Burgess show in their semifinal showdown with Oakville. Burgess went 4 for 4 from the plate with 2 doubles, and went the distance on the mound allowing only 6 hits, walking 1, and striking out 9 to get the win 7-2.

Big win tonight for the Purdy Eagles as they defeat #4 Blue Eye 8-7 in an extra inning thriller. Trailing 4-3 entering the 7th, the Bulldogs David Gilley put Blue Eye on top 6-4 with a three run homer. But Purdy would answer back with authority as Chris Bennett smacked a two run bomb of his own to send the game into extra frames.
Blue Eye once again threatened in the top of the eighth, but a ‘step on third, throw to first’ double play got the Eagles out unscathed and set the stage for the final drama. With the bags full of Eagles in the bottom half, Chris Bennett again stepped to the plate and got his third RBI of the night when he was hit by a pitch to bring home the game winner. Purdy wins 7-6.
For Coach Joshua Hughes and the Eagles, it’s their first win over Blue Eye since the first game of the ’05 fall season. And should set up some high drama if the two squads should happen to meet again in the state quarterfinals. Great game, great win for Purdy, and possibly great motivation for Blue Eye for the rest of the season.
