Adison Jones led the Bobcats with two runs batted in, while Antonio Torres had the third.

Logan Schopp picked up the win for the Eagles by pitching six innings and striking out eight batters.

“This is it for us,” IHS head coach Lupe Huerta said. “It’s consistency. We continually had issues with grades and eligibility throughout the season. We have to move kids around. It was difficult to get continuity.”
