Baseball roundup: Andritsos homers, Dunlap slam lifts The Woodlands

THE WOODLANDS, Texas – The Woodlands High School baseball right-fielder Kolbi Brown summed it up in a post-game tweet. Brown tweeted, “Bottom line, you can’t throw a fastball to Chris Andritsos, Alex Dunlap or Cater Hope.”

Andritsos hit a pair of two-run homers in his first two trips to the plate, finished with five RBIs, and Alex Dunlap delivered a grand slam home run in the sixth inning of the Highlanders’ 11-1 win over College Park Tuesday night at The Diamonds at College Park.

Andritsos continues a sensational sophomore season with his 10th and 11th home runs of the season. He is among the nation's leaders in homers.

Hope (RBI) and Luke Sherley each added two hits to the 10-hit attack while Brown added another and Charlie Warren drove in a run.

Ryan Burnett went the distance, firing a three-hitter while striking out seven. He tweeted after the game, “Good win tonight boys.”

Nate Fisbeck had two hits for College Park and Noah Vaughan added the other.

The Cavaliers slip to 8-11 overall and 1-2 in district play. College Park visits Lufkin for a 6 p.m. Friday game.
