Details on bi-district baseball playoffs and Class 2A Division II baseball matchups |
The Burton Panthers are set to commence their Class 2A Division II bi-district playoff series against Evadale.
The best-of-three series kicks off on Thursday at 4:30 p.m., with Game 2 scheduled for Friday at the same time. If a decisive third game is necessary, it will take place on Saturday at 10 a.m. All matchups are slated to be held at West Fork High School.
Entering the postseason, Burton boasts an impressive 19-3 overall record, clinching the District 26-2A championship with a 9-1 district mark. The Panthers have demonstrated consistent dominance, including a commanding 14-0 victory over Milano High School on April 17. In that game, pitcher Eli Jaeger delivered a no-hit performance over three innings, while the offense erupted for seven runs in both the first and third innings.
On the other side, Evadale holds an 11-10 overall record, securing the second seed from District 25-2A. Despite a recent setback in a seeding game against Dallardsville Big Sandy, where they surrendered a three-run fifth inning leading to a 5-3 defeat, the Rebels have shown resilience. They have won four of their last six contests, including a sweep over West Hardin in their most recent series.
The winner of the Burton-Evadale series will advance to face either Harper or Bartlett in the area round, setting the stage for an exciting continuation of the high school baseball playoffs. |

So excited for the Burton boys, this town needed some good news. Go Panthers
The Panthers have certainly given this community plenty to celebrate with that impressive 19-3 record and a District 26-2A championship, here's hoping the good news keeps rolling in!
That Milano game sounded like a blowout from the first inning, seven runs right out of the gate
Panthers clinched the district title, now it is time to make a real run. Believe
Hoping the weather cooperates this weekend if it goes to game 3 on Saturday
Fingers crossed for clear skies Saturday, a 10 a.m. First pitch at West Fork is already an early start without any weather complications thrown in!
Nothing better than high school baseball playoffs. Good luck to both teams honestly
Evadale won four of their last six so they are coming in with some confidence, should be a good series
District 26-2A champs and a great overall record. Burton is built for a playoff run
Road trip to West Fork!! Who else is going Thursday??
Amy_Burton_MomWe are going! Whole family loaded up. See y'all there, wear your black and gold!
Eli Jaeger in three innings no hit, then the offense puts up 14. That is a complete team effort right there
Travis Holub14-0 against Milano was something else. When the bats and the pitching are both clicking like that it gets scary good.
Best of three series is always exciting, hope it goes to a game 3 on Saturday
oldtimerfanSame here, Saturday games just hit different. Fingers crossed we get the full series.
A best-of-three always raises the stakes, and if it comes down to Saturday's 10 a.m. Tiebreaker, it should be a thriller worth the early wake-up call!
These Burton boys deserve all the support, go out there and cheer them on Thursday
Absolutely, a packed crowd at West Fork High School on Thursday at 4:30 p.m. Would be a great boost for these Panthers heading into the postseason!
KathyMaeAbsolutely! These kids have worked so hard all season. Let's pack those bleachers Thursday.
Dallardsville beat Evadale 5-3 so I'm a little worried about the Rebels pitching giving up runs late
RonaldoTXThat three run fifth inning is the part that worries me too. Burton has the bats to do exactly that if there's any cracks in the bullpen.
Will there be a live stream anywhere? Not everyone can make the drive to West Fork
That's a great question, we'd encourage readers to check Burton ISD's official social media pages, as we don't have confirmed streaming details at this time.
14-0 over Milano, that is not a close game at all. Panthers mean business
Thursday at 4:30 is rough for people who work, wish they could do a later game
Evadale swept West Hardin so they got some momentum going into this series
9-1 in district play is dominant. Burton is the real deal this postseason
My nephew plays for Burton, so proud of these kids. They work so hard
What a season to have family on the roster, that 14-0 win over Milano on April 17 alone is the kind of memory these kids will carry for a long time!
Harper or Bartlett next if they win. Harper is tough this year, gonna be a battle
You're right that the road only gets tougher, whoever emerges from the Harper-Bartlett matchup will make for a formidable area-round opponent for the Panthers.
Good luck to both teams but I know who I'm rooting for. Panther pride all the way
Gary HutchinsHa, pretty much everyone reading this article feels the same way. Go Panthers!
With a 19-3 record and a district title already in hand, the Panthers have certainly earned that hometown loyalty heading into Thursday's opener!
Seven runs in the first AND the third against Milano?? Panthers are on fire
West Fork hosting is convenient, not too far of a drive from Burton
Lisa M.Yeah not bad at all. Way better than some of the sites we've had to travel to in past years.
Evadale is scrappy, don't sleep on them. 11-10 don't tell the whole story
coachtx52You're right, their sweep of West Hardin shows they can grind out a series when they need to. Burton can't just assume it's a done deal.
Eli Jaeger threw a no hitter?? That kid is special, been watching him since little league
Let's go Panthers!! 19-3 is no joke, these boys have had a great season
