Justin Northwest 5, Burleson 4 (8)

The Texans erased a 3-0 deficit with three runs in the seventh and two in the eighth to stun the Elks and swept the Class 5A area round series Friday at Burleson.

Northwest (26-4-2), which won 2-0 on Thursday, advances to the regional quarterfinals to play the winner between FW Arlington Heights and Brewer.

The Elks (22-7-1) were fueled by two home runs by senior Brailey Wasik (Sam Houston State). Her two-run homer in the first inning gave Burleson a 2-0 lead and she extended it with a solo shot in the third.

After the first out in the top of the seventh, the Texans put a runner on via error and Courtney Candahl singled followed by the game-tying three-run homer by Brooke Rutherford.

Sadie Reid (Lubbock Christian) added a two-run homer in the eighth to push the NW lead to 5-3.

Audrey Schneidmiller (LA Tech) hit a solo shot for Burleson in the bottom of the frame.

Lacie Mendez hit two home runs, one in the top of the 13th inning and the Spartans took Game 1 of their Class 5A area round series over the Ladycats Friday in Weatherford.

Game 2 is 3 pm Saturday at Cleburne HS.

The contest went into extras when Centennial tied it with one out in the seventh. Bailey Lindemuth hit into a fielder’s choice that scored Halie DeLaRosa from third.

After Aledo took a 1-0 lead in the first, Centennial came back with three in the second on Bailey Ford’s RBI triple and a two-run double by Jalynn Vasquez.

Aledo went back in front 5-3 in the third on a Claire Byars’ RBI double and back-to-back RBI singles from Madysen Boutwell and Morgan Brown.

Midland 1, Southlake Carroll 0

Midland pitcher Alex Aguilar threw a two-hit shutout as the Bulldogs took a 1-0 series lead over Carroll in their Class 6A area-round series Friday night at Dragon Field.

Aguilar struck out eight and retired the Dragons in order five times.

The only run of the game came in the Midland half of the fourth. Aguilar led off the inning with a liner over second then scored on an RBI double to the wall in right-center by Bryleigh Morris after two were out.

Carroll pitcher Cameron Timmons pitched out of a couple of jams, but allowed just the one run. Timmons scattered six hits and had five strikeouts and walked two.

Midland (27-4-1) and Carroll (17-13) will play Game 2 of the three-game series at 2 p.m. on Saturday back at Dragon Field.

Allen 11, Arlington Martin 0 (5)

Allen pitcher Alexis Telford (SFA) allowed a bunt single by Martin’s Khaylani Bailey with one out in the top of the fifth for the only base runner the Warriors would get in an 11-0 drubbing by the Eagles in a one-game Class 6A area-round playoff on Friday at Southlake Carroll.

Telford retired 15 of the 16 batters she faced for Allen. Martin (17-6-2) was unable to get the ball out of the infield against the senior.

Mack Ellison tripled in two runs for Allen (26-6-2) in a five-run bottom of the first. Ellison finished with two hits and a walk, three RBI and two runs scored. Brooklyn Purtell added two hits, two RBI and two runs scored for the Eagles.
