High school baseball: Dylan Fazekas battles sore shoulder, leads Red Oak past No. 8 Leedey

Red Oak and Asher play at 2:30 p.m. Saturday in Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. Red Oak and Asher have combined for 23 fall championships, 21 of which belong to Asher.

“It was a tough grind,” said Fazekas, who hadn't thrown since injuring his shoulder in districts. “They hit me really well. I left balls over the plate, I didn't hit spots, couldn't throw strikes, I walked too many guys. It was just a bad day.”

But it wasn't entirely a bad day.

Fazekas went 2 for 3 at the plate, with his three-run double in the second capping a seven-run outburst. He later drove in a run with a single during the Eagles' four-run fifth.

“Going into this, our saying since districts started was ‘Flip a single,' Fazekas said. “It just basically boils down to just literally just flip a single and if we can get five, six people to flip a single we could have two or three runs.”
