In a District 2-3A game, the Idalou baseball team staged a comeback against rival Shallowater, winning 4-3 with a walk-off suicide squeeze by Thomas Pirtle in the bottom of the seventh inning. The game was marked by defensive errors from both sides, with none of the four runs scored before the final inning being earned. Idalou's pitcher Gentry Pounds delivered a strong performance, allowing four hits, walking none, and striking out nine over seven innings.
Shallowater had initially taken a 3-2 lead in the sixth inning after a misplay by Pirtle allowed a run to score. However, Idalou rallied in the seventh, loading the bases before Pirtle executed the game-winning bunt. The victory split the series between the two teams, with both now needing to secure wins in their remaining regular-season games to contend for the district title. Despite the defensive lapses, Idalou's coach praised the team's resilience and execution under pressure, particularly highlighting Pirtle's ability to deliver in crucial moments.
