Bradwell, 3-6 overall and 1-2 in Region 3-AAAAA, will host Glynn Academy at 6 tonight in a region matchup.
FPCA
Pinewood Christian rallied to beat the Highlanders in Bellville.
FPCA coach Ryan Harmon said the Highlanders held a 3-0 lead until the bottom of the fifth inning. Pinewood notched one run in the fifth and two runs in the sixth to tie the game. With two out in the bottom of the seventh inning, Pinewood scored the go-ahead run.
Harmon said his team was a little short-handed, with a starter having to miss the game.
“We had to start with two freshmen in the outfield, and they played very well,” he said.
Freshman Nathan Burris had his first high-school hit, a single, and recorded an RBI. Jake Lee pitched four shutout innings.
“It was a big improvement from the first game,” Harmon said, referring to FPCA’s 11-1 loss to Trinity Christian last week. “I think we will be getting better every time we play.”
Kyle Hill pitched one inning, giving up one run, and Darrius Tilghman pitched the final two innings, giving up three runs.
FPCA hosts Brentwood at 4:30 p.m. today in a Region 2-AA matchup. FPCA pitcher James Moon will start on the hill.
FPCA is 0-2 overall and 0-1 in the region.
