Bouyed by 4 homeruns in the last 3 innings, Barbers Hill advanced to the finals of the 19th Annual Barbers Hill Invitational by downing C.E. King 10-0 in 5 innings. The Eagles will face Hardin-Jefferson in the tournament final.

After 2 scoreless innings, Barbers Hill plated 4 runs in the third. Catcher Jake Ponder got a one-out hit to right. Ponder then stole second before courtsey runner Amondo Fuentes took over. Fuentes advanced to 3rd on a wild pitch and scored on Colby Townley's triple after 2 outs. Townley raced home on another wild pitch. Derek Hulsey continued the inning by skying one over the left field fence for his first homerun of the season. Cameron Campbell followed Hulsey with a shot of his own. Campbell's homerun would be his first of two.

After starting pitcher Bailey Glandt shut down the Panthers, the Eagles once again scored 4 more runs. This time C.E. King assisted BH's efforts. The King pitcher walked the first 2 batters. After a force out at third, BH received another free pass to first. Townley once again found a gap in right for his second triple and came home on the errant throw from the outfield.

Barbers Hill then ended the game in dramatic fashion. Needing only 2 runs, Campbell quickly started the game ending inning by hitting his 4th homerun of the season. Michael Padgett finished off the night by connecting on his 2nd homerun of the year.

In the 3rd, H-J lead off with a single. After a strikeout of the next batter, a Hawk runner was thrown out trying to steal. Hales once again got a strikeout but the runner reach when the BH catcher made an errant throw to first. Hales then ended the inning with another strike out.

Mean while, Barbers Hill was able to scratch out 3 runs against H-J pitcher, Jake Brunson. In the first, Chase Barrera single and Colby Townley walked. Derek Hulsey sacrificed both runners. Cameron Campbell popped up to the first baseman but when the fielder fell, Barrera raced home. Momments later, Townley scored when Michael Padgett stole second after receiving a walk. BH scored once in the second on an error, a sacrifice and an RBI single by Townley.

In the 4th and 5th innings, Barbers Hill tacked on 2 runs in each inning using the long ball. First, Townley connected on a 2 out 2-run homerun. Then Octavio Carmona hit his 4th of the year scoring Padgett who had single ahead of him.

Both teams added runs in the fifth inning. H-J got their first 2 batters on base via a walk and an error on the second baseman. Hales then got his 10th K of the game but loaded the bases on another walk. Carmona relieved Hales and got out of trouble with an RBI fielder's choice and a fly out to right. Barbers Hill then added 3 more runs when Hardin-Jefferson committed 2 consecutive errors and hit the next batter. BH then scored on RBI singles by Padgett and Carmona and a sacrifice fly by John Loranger.

In the top of the 7th, the Hawks added 2 more runs on a walk and consecutive doubles. Carmona then got a strikeout and a fly out to right ending the game.

Halletsville & Giddings were quality wins. Halletsville was a pre-season ranked # 17 team byTexas High School Baseball Magazine. They have played quite a few 4-A schools and have run-ruled (or time expired, however you want to paint that picture) quite a few teams already. They are scoring an average above 10 points per game.

Now when we beat Silsbee and Jasper this year, you have to bump us up a notch or two.
