For the third season in a row, the Holliday Eagles met the Brock Eagles in the Regional Quarterfinal round in baseball. This battle of the Eagles has seen Brock stand victorious the previous two occasions, but Holliday was eager to avenge those losses in their third go around in a bestof three series at Graham High School on Friday, May 17.

Game 2 of the series started very similar to Game 1, as Holliday once again scored the first run of the game after third baseman Rylan Hutchins knocked in fellow infielder Parker Jones for a two-out RBI-single. Hutchins was stranded though as Brock secured the final out before allowing anymore damage.
