Tony Kirkland was on the receiving end of a celebratory Gatorade bath and had no complaints after his Houston Academy baseball team defeated Prattville Christian Academy 5-2 in the third
JON JOHNSON and deciding game of the quarterfinal round of the Class 3A playoffs Saturday at Northcutt Field.
J.T. Pitchford was steady on the mound for Houston Academy in picking up the win. He pitched 6 2/3 innings, scattering six hits and getting out of several jams with big strikeouts. He was removed after reaching the 120 pitch count allowed for a day under AHSAA rules. Houston Academy fell behind 1-0 in the top of the third when Parker Blake singled in a run with one out in the inning. Conner Williams followed with a single to load the bases, but Pitchford came back with two straight strikeouts to get out of the inning.
Prattville Christian got a run back in the fifth on a bad-hop single over shortstop off the bat of Williams, pulling the Panthers within 3-2. “I’ve got to give our defense credit,” Kirkland said. “They played well all weekend. That’s pretty much what held us together because we didn’t hit it real well.Friday Games
