Springfield, Mo. — The top-seed in the Class 5, District 11 Tournament lived up to its billing on Monday evening.
The Glendale Falcons pounded out 13 hits and scored 11 runs in an 11-3 district semifinal victory over Nixa at Kickapoo High School.
Four players had multi-hit efforts for Glendale and eight different players scored runs.
"The mindset any day is to come out and try and score more runs than the other team," said Glendale's Jack Hamlin, who finished 1-for-4 with three RBIs. "If you overthink it, that's when you play tense and not play as good as you can."
Glendale's offense also got help from Nixa's defense, which committed four errors. Of their 11 runs, four were unearned.
