SARATOGA, Texas — Things are heating up in the District 25-2A baseball race with Evadale, Big Sandy and West Hardin all battling it out for the top spot.
After splitting with Big Sandy last week, Evadale completed a sweep of West Hardin to hand the Oilers their first district losses.
Thursday night the Rebels walked it off for a 5-4 win in Evadale.
Friday afternoon Evadale (12-4, 9-1) scored three runs in the seventh to top West Hardin 10-9 in Saratoga after the Oilers led 7-0 through three innings.
The Rebels will continue district play with a pair of games against Deweyville next week, while West Hardin (12-5, 8-2) will try to bounce back against a tough Big Sandy team.
