Vega grand slam highlights Guard’s 9-2 win over Tyler All Saints

Tyler Overbeek tripled and scored a run, and Miguel Vega launched a grand-slam home run to lead Brook Hill varsity to a 9-2 victory over Tyler All Saints.

The win means the Guard can clinch the TAPPS Division II District 3 championship with a win Monday over All Saints.

Reid Hill led the way on the mound, allowing one run on three hits in four innings off work. Overbeek struck out six in 2 and 2/3 innings of relief for the save.

Logan Fitzgerald doubled and stole three bases with Langford and Hill also notching two hits apiece.

Brook Hill trailed 1-0 in the second inning before answering with three runs to take back the lead for good. Overbeek began the two-out rally with a triple. Brooks Parham walked with Overbeek coming home on a wild pitch to tie the game. Fitzgerald then doubled to score Parham and give the Guard their first lead, 2-1. Fitzgerald stole third and scored later on an error for a 3-1 Brook Hill lead.

The Guard tacked on runs in the third and fourth to increase their advantage to 5-1. Logan Langford doubled home Vega in the third with Fitzgerald leading off the fourth with a single and stealing second and third before scoring on an error.

Vega made sure of the victory in the sixth. Hill led off with a single followed by hits from Seth Moss and Josh Jenkins to load the bases. Vega cleared them with one swing, hammering a pitch over the right-field wall for a grand slam and 9-1 lead.

The victory, coming on the heels of an 18-1 non-district win over Kings Academy, raised Brook Hill’s record to 14-7.

In the win over Kings Academy, Mason Kelley and Marty Foster combined to struck out nine while allowing one run on one hit.
