The Benbrook Varsity Bobcats came out swinging and never let up, cruising past Eagle Mountain High School 13-2 to clinch the Bi-District Championship in a statement win Friday night.
Tanner Madara was the sparkplug the Bobcats needed, racking up four RBIs on four hits. He crushed a two-run triple in the fourth and followed it up with a two-run inside-the-park homer in the fifth—electrifying the dugout and the stands.
Benbrook wasted no time getting on the board, stacking early pressure in the first inning with key hits from Hudson Stockton and Kade Cross, and a clutch walk by Santiago Cruz. The momentum continued into the fourth, where a five-run inning—fueled by Madara’s triple and aggressive base running—blew the game wide open.
Jax Stockton handled business on the mound, striking out nine and giving up just two runs over six innings. Maverick Mills came in to close, throwing a clean final frame with two strikeouts.
The Bobcats were aggressive on the basepaths, swiping 11 bags and keeping Eagle Mountain’s defense on its heels. They played a flawless game defensively with no errors and a smooth double play.
With 11 hits, lights-out pitching, and smart team play, Benbrook showed why they’re a force to be reckoned with as they advance in the postseason.
