Bartlesville High School baseball wrapped up its District season with a two-game sweep of Muskogee. The team ended the season with a 4-1 victory over the Roughers, securing a seventh-place finish in 6A-District 3. The game was held at Rigdon Field on Tuesday evening and proved to be a great night for the seniors on the team.
The Bruins took an early lead with three runs in the bottom of the fourth inning and maintained it throughout the game. With one out, BHS had six consecutive batters reach base, five of them with singles, to score the first run of the game. Brett Eaves drove in Brenden Asher with a base hit, which was aided by a Muskogee error.
In his final start on the mound at Bill Doenges Memorial Stadium as a Bruin, Brenden Asher delivered an outstanding performance. He pitched a complete seven innings, allowing only one unearned run and working around seven hits. Asher showcased his skill by tallying seven strikeouts, with five of them coming in the last two innings.
The win secured Bartlesville’s spot in the upcoming Regional pairing. The postseason is set to begin next week, likely on Wednesday or Thursday. The team will now await its opponent as they continue their journey in the playoffs
