The Gilbert baseball and softball teams found themselves deadlocked for the Region 4-4A title.<\/p>\n
In each case, a head-to-head tiebreaker was used to determine the top seed for the Class 4A playoffs.<\/p>\n
It proved to be a split outcome for both programs.<\/p>\n
The Indians finished 13-1 in the region with Airport after a 3-2 win in extra innings over Gray Collegiate Academy. Hunter Williams hit a walk off RBI single in the Bottom 8th for the win.<\/p>\n
Since Gilbert and Airport split its two meetings, a tiebreaker based on margin of victory was used to determine the top seed. The Indians’ 4-0 win April 1 was higher than the Eagles’ 3-1 victory two nights later.<\/p>\n
On Monday, the Lady Indians had a chance to claim the region outright with a second win over Gray Collegiate Academy. They defeated the Lady War Eagles 1-0 on April 24 to snap their 33-game region winning streak.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Peyton Hendrix held Gilbert to just one hit and struck out five. The Lady Indians managed just three baserunners the entire game.<\/p>\n
Both teams will open the playoffs May 6 at home as a first and second seed, respectively. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
