Friendswood bats erupt late to beat Brenham

Boots Landry blasted a three-run double in the sixth inning to power Friendswood to an 8-4 win over Brenham Wednesday in the opening game of a Region 3-5A baseball semifinal series at Cy Falls High School.

The teams were tied 3-3 before the Mustangs erupted for four runs in the sixth to pull away for the victory.

Brenham took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second on an RBI-double by Cayden Shields.

However, Friendswood (26-7) scored twice in the top of the third inning on three Cub errors for a 2-1 edge.

Brenham, though, regained the lead at 3-2 in the bottom of the third.

Friendswood, though, took the lead for good when Kyle Lockhart punched a two-run single to center for a 4-3 lead.

Landry then followed with a three-run double to right-center to clear the bases for a 7-3 cushion.

Friendswood’s final run scored on a wild pitch to make it 8-3.

Jacob Rogers started on the mound for Friendswood before Dane Perry came on in relief to close out the victory with two strong innings.
