Baseball: Oak Ridge sweeps Classic

OAK RIDGE NORTH, Texas – Rain forced a reshuffling of the War Eagle Classic, but it didn’t put a damper on the Oak Ridge High School baseball team. The War Eagles won all four games of the Classic, two on Friday and two more on Saturday.

Luken Baker closed things out in style on Saturday throwing a two-hit shutout at St. Thomas while striking out 13 in a 3-0 win.

Baker doubled in the game and did damage at the plate throughout the Classic. He doubled twice and drove in three runs in a 7-4 opener against New Caney. He added two hits, scored twice and drove in a run in a 15-2 win over the Dallas Spartans.

Tyler Miller picked up the win on the mound in a 4-1 win over Huffman Hargraves in the early game Saturday. Joey Barille provided pop at the plate with two hits, a run scored and one RBI. Riley McKnight, Mario Garza and Grant Ware added a hit apiece.

Ware homered and drove in three runs in the opener with New Caney.

Alex Walker delivered two hits, scored twice, and drove in a run while Zach Rollins tripled and Anthony Smith doubled in the rout of the team from Dallas.

The War Eagles (4-0) will play in the Arlington Tyde Classic, Thursday through Saturday.
