ABILENE — As the last two teams standing in Region I-3A Division II, the Wall and Jacksboro baseball teams matched each other nearly play for play during their regional final series as they squared off at Abilene Christian University’s Crutcher Scott Field at Bullock Brothers Ballpark.
The Hawks took the series opener 7-2 on Wednesday after scoring six times in the final two innings before using another sixth inning offensive rally to finish the series off with a 4-3 win on Thursday.
Kellan Oliver improved to 10-1 on the season — and 3-0 in the postseason — with a complete game three-hitter in which he allowed just one earned run on 101 pitches while walking four and striking out six in his 10th start of the year. Thursday marked Oliver’s eighth complete game this year and probably the one where he’s dealt with the most inconsistent strike zone.
