The Wylie baseball team made easy work of their bi-district matchup with Mesquite Horn last week. The Pirates swept them in consecutive games to advance to the second round of the playoffs.

Whether it was outstanding pitching, clean defense or timely hits, Wylie’s two wins featured some of their best baseball of the season. The guys kicked things off with the Jaguars in town on Thursday, May 2. 

To their credit, Horn came out fired up and took an early lead with a run in the second inning. Still, that’s all they would get off of Brady Baker, who gave up two of his three hits on the night in that frame.
