PANTHERS TAKE BI-DISTRICT WIN OVER WEST HARDIN, 11-0
The Burton Panthers scored five runs in each of their first two innings and rolled to an 11-0 win in their playoff opener.
Four pitchers combined on a one-hit shutout over West Hardin, Tuesday night at Caney Creek.
Aaron Kohring, Cash Callahan, Jackson Kalkhake and Tristan Brantley combined to strike out nine Oiler batters over five innings, while yielding just one single.
Burton (22-4) jumped out to a 5-0 lead after the first inning as nine batters came to the plate, with the first five reaching base and scoring. In the inning, Callahan had a double, while Cooper Lucherk added an rbi-triple.
The Panthers batted around again in the second, highlighted by a 3-run homer by Kohring. Caleb Fuchs also drove in a run with a single.
The Panthers now advance to the Area Playoffs against the winner of the Thorndale/Brazos matchup, sometime next week.
The Oilers (8-17) end their season, which saw the team make its first playoff trip since 1991.
