Ryan Pitts’ complete-game pitching performance Tuesday lifted Skyview to a 6-1 baseball victory over Union to snag the 4A Greater St. Helens League’s No. 2 seed into next week’s bi-district tournament.
Pitts allowed one earned run on seven hits and struck out eight pitching all seven innings to earn the win. He also went 1 for 2 with a run scored.
Union, getting two hits apiece from Carter Sutton and Jordan Head, takes the No. 3 playoff seed. Both teams open bi-district tournament play needing to win at least two games to earn a state regional berth.
Micah Baylous and Cooper Barnum each had two hits and combined for five RBI for the Storm.
