After losing the opening game of their best-of-three Region I-2A bi-district baseball series with Hamilton in extra innings, Anson knew it needed a big day from Nick Miller on Saturday at Hudson Wade Memorial Field on the campus of Abilene Christian High School.

The senior answered with a special performance in Game 2 as he both started and closed out the Tigers’ 9-5 win that forced a winner-take-all Game 3.

In the deciding game, Hamilton scored all of its runs in the top of the first and took a 17-0 win to take the series and advance to the next round against Colorado City.
