The 2024 Class 5A North regional baseball bracket.
Douglas High School baseball beat Reed, 9-4, on Tuesday and Spanish Springs, 8-6, on Wednesday to earn the No. 5 seed in the Class 5A North regional tournament.
The Tigers will open the tournament at No. 4 Reed on Tuesday at 4 p.m.
This past Tuesday was Senior Night for the Tigers, who put together a 9-4 win over the Raiders behind some timely hitting.
Thomas Young delivered a two-run single in the third inning to tie the game at 3-3 while Jeffrey Peters expanded Douglas’ lead to 9-4 in the fifth with a two-run single.
Blake Faiss went 2-for-2 with a pair of doubles while Owen Evans and Keegan Freeman each had two RBIs.
Wednesday afternoon, Douglas’ offense stayed hot.
Trailing 6-4 into the sixth inning, Grayson Kamper drove in Aaron Moss to bring the Tigers’ within one before Evans added a second run on a sacrifice fly.
In the seventh, Moss knocked in Jackson Ovard on an RBI groundout before Kamper plated his second RBI of the game on a single to shallow right field.
Douglas ends its regular season with a 16-8 overall record, 9-7 in Class 5A North league play.
“We’ve been streaky, but I’d rather be streaky in the last week of the season and into the postseason and take our chances,” said Douglas coach Jim Tucker. “A breath of fresh air; we are the team we believe we are.”
TIGER SOFTBALL SHUTS OUT MCQUEEN
Annie Hill delivered the biggest blow to the Lancers on Tuesday in a 4-0 Douglas win.
In the third inning on the sixth pitch of the at-bat, Hill roped a two-run home run to center field to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead.
In the fifth, Marissa McLelland added an insurance run with an RBI single to left field to score Maddie Gooch.
Talia Tretton continued her dominance in the circle, striking out 16 Lancers.
After pitching seven scoreless innings, Tretton’s season ERA is down to 1.22 in 149.2 innings of work.
UP NEXT: Douglas (23-4, 13-0 in Class 5A North league play) will close out the regular season at home Saturday with a doubleheader against Carson (7-18, 2-11).
