Red Oak Claims Class B Hardball Hardware
Dalton Fazekas hammered a walk-off grand slam to give Red Oak its second upset over a higher-ranked opponent in as many days, this time to claim the Class B state championship courtesy of the 10-run rule, 15-5 over Roff.
Red Oak pounded its way to a 10-0 lead after three innings before Roff showed some life in the top of the fourth. Roff scored five runs to make it a game before Red Oak rattled off five of its own in the fourth and fifth innings to claim its first-ever state title in baseball.
Junior basketball star Lane Adams homered for the second time in two days in the second inning to pace Red Oak, which finished the season with a 32-7 record. Jordan Booth had two doubles for the Eagles, while Justin Knight picked up the win from the mound for Red Oak.
Roff finished the season with a 31-7 record. In the fall state tournament, Roff ousted Red Oak in the state semifinals via the walk-off variety.
Fort Cobb-Broxton Rolls to Class A Crown
After finishing second four times in a row, Fort Cobb-Broxton wanted to trade its silver medals in for gold. Fort Cobb-Broxton completed the task with a 3-1 victory over Sterling to win the Class A state championship.
Londan Davis scattered five hits over in his complete game effort from the mound, allowing just one run. Davis threw 68 pitches in Friday’s 16-0 victory over Fort Towson in the Class A semifinals and threw the final game on no rest.
Trailing 1-0 entering the bottom of the third, James Bellamy kick started the Fort Cobb-Broxton rally with one of his two doubles of the contest. Davis pounded another double to score Bellamy and tie the score before Davis would cross the plate to take the lead for good on Levi Lewis’ fielder’s choice.
Fort Cobb-Broxton finished the season with a 34-4 record. Sterling finished 27-6 on the campaign.
