ARLINGTON \u2013 Senior Trent Vilade hit a towering grand slam to right field to cap a huge 9-run second inning and Plano Prestonwood went on to beat Tomball Concordia Lutheran 11-2 during the TAPPS D1 baseball champ game on Tuesday at UT-Arlington\u2019s Allan Saxe Field.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Lions ended a 31-3 season with their 3rd title in program history and first since 2022 when they defeated San Antonio Central Catholic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Prestonwood reached the title game after beating Argyle Liberty Christian 6-1 in Monday\u2019s semifinals while Concordia edged out Central Catholic 3-2.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Vilade\u2019s performance was even more meaningful \u2013 not only because it was his final high school baseball game, but he got to share the moment with head coach, father James.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vilade is headed to play at Texas A&M.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a scoreless 1st inning, Riggs Huggins led off the 2nd for Prestonwood with a single back to the mound. Huggins advanced to second on a sac bunt by Cruz Banuelas and scored on an RBI single to center by Max Bachmann.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The bases were loaded for the Lions when Concordia couldn\u2019t get a ball in play, issuing back-to-back RBI walks to extend the lead to 3-0.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Junior Kniffen and Jake Felsman both got the free pass to drive in runs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With the bases still loaded, Vilade drove an 0-1 pitch to deep right field near the foul post to make it 7-0.<\/p>\n
Still with 1 out, Concordia walked the next 2 batters and Bachmann came back to the plate and hit his second RBI single of the inning to give Prestonwood a 9-0 lead. Vance Hernandez scored on a wild pitch just before Bachmann hit a liner to left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Prestonwood couldn\u2019t bring in a 10th run before the 6th that would have ended the game by run-rule, however, the Lions did score in the top of the 6th to go up 11-0.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Aiden Moffitt and Huggins drew back-to-back walks to lead off the inning and a 2-base error scored Moffitt. 2 batters later and Huggins scored on a sac fly to center by Lash Henderson that made it 11-0 for Prestonwood.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Lions couldn\u2019t close the game out in the bottom of the 6th as Concordia scored 2 runs to send it to the 7th.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Following a double and a hit by pitch to open the Concordia 7th, Prestonwood starting pitcher Steele Lebouef was pulled for FJ Guignard, who got a double play on his 3rd pitch of the game and forced a grounder to second that ended the game and started the celebration.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bachmann led the Lions with 3 hits while Felsman added 2.\u00a0<\/p>\n
LeBouef finished the day with 7 strikeouts.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHOTO: Matt Smith By Brian Gosset X \u2013 @gosset41 X \u2013 @gmsportsmedia1 ARLINGTON \u2013 Senior Trent Vilade hit…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":304568,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[160,162,161],"class_list":["post-304567","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-plano","tag-plano","tag-plano-headlines","tag-plano-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304567","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=304567"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304567\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/304568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=304567"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=304567"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=304567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
