The Houston Second Baptist Eagles scored 11 runs on 11 hits to capture the 2022 TAPPS Division II Baseball State Championship with a convincing 11-5 win over Brook Hill. The State Title is the 6th TAPPS Baseball State Championship for Second Baptist.
Brook Hill took the early lead in the championship game scoring 3 runs in the bottom of the 1st on two errors and a ground out RBI by Grayson Murry. And Second Baptist was having trouble getting anything going against Murry. Through 3 innings, Murry held the Eagles scoreless on 1 hit with 4 Ks.
But the Second Baptist bats got hot in the 4th inning. Three straight hits, a single by Noah Weisser, an RBI triple by Eli Marrero and an RBI Single by Tommy Willis cut the Brook Hill lead to 3-2. With two outs in the 4th inning, Second Baptist loaded the bases and got a Luke Pettitte double to centerfield scoring two runs, giving Second Baptist a 4-3 lead, their first lead of the game. And they were still not finished. Turner Murdock singled in two more runs, Marrero drove in another run and Second Baptist scored on a delayed steal, putting up 8 runs in the inning.
Luke Pettitte was named the THSB Championship Game Player of the Game. He was 2-5 with 2 doubles, 2 RBIs and a run scored.
