The Early Longhorns extended their baseball season with a pair of home victories Saturday to capture their Region I-3A best-of-three bi-district series over the Breckenridge Buckaroos.

After District 8-3A runner-up Early (21-9) dropped Friday night’s series opener at District 7-3A third seed Breckenridge (16-10) by a 15-5 count, the Longhorns captured Game 2 on their home turf, 13-3. Then, in the decisive Game 3, Early erased a four-run deficit en route to a 7-5, 11-inning victory to earn the bi-district championship.

Next up for Early is District 6-3A fourth seed Ballinger (12-16-1), which defeated District 5-3A champion Reagan County (14-6) by a 2-1 count in a one-game playoff. A time, date and location for the matchup has not yet been finalized.
