Highlands 11, Bellevue 0 (Five innings):
The Bluebirds (17-8 overall) put the final touches on the undisputed top seed in the 36th District Tournament with a five-inning, one-hitter at Bellevue Vets Field. Highlands moved to 10-2 in 9th Region action with its ninth straight win.
"We're blessed to have kids that understand that, while we want to win every pitch of every game, the four district games are the most important games of the season prior to the district tournament," said Jeremy Baioni, Highlands Head Coach. "They have really committed themselves to the process."
Drew Rom started the game before Ethan Doty and Grady Cramer threw one inning each. Spencer Dee then pitched the fourth and fifth innings. They combined to strike out 10 and walk just three.
Kyle Finfrock led the Bluebirds at the plate going 2-for-2 with a home run, three runs batted in and two runs scored. Rom and Carson Fitters added doubles. Grant Summers, Fitters and Ryan Adkins had two hits each.
