SAGINAW — The Argyle Eagles walked past the Wylie Bulldogs 7-5 in the opening game of their best-of-three Region 1-5A Division II final series Tuesday afternoon.
You pretty much can add the word “literally,” if you want to.
Wyle pitchers issued nine free passes, including five in the first two innings, and Argyle used the Bulldogs’ generosity to score six runs in their first two at-bats.
The Bulldogs gamely answered the Eagles’ three-run first inning with three runs of their own in the top of the second, but Argyle put up a carbon-copy bottom half of the inning. And while Wylie made it interesting down the stretch, the Eagles (23-14-1) held on and are now a win away from a trip to the state semifinals.
