Devin Alvey hit a two-out grand slam in the bottom of the ninth inning to give Peaster a 5-1 victory over Jacksboro, ending the Region I-3A quarterfinal series in Graham.
Game 2 was a lot different than Game 1, which was a 14-4 Peaster rout Thursday.
The Greyhounds took a 1-0 lead in the sixth but Clay Botello held it right there and Caleb Nunley had an RBI single in the sixth inning to pull the Tigers even. Botello (7.1 innings, three hits, four walks, five strikeouts) worked around three walks in the bottom of the seventh to force extra innings.
Nunley went 3-fo4-4 to lead Jacksboro's offense. The Tigers finished 18-15-1, showing again in their final game they proved to be a very tough out this season.
Alvey also got the win on the mound with 1.1 innings of one-hit scoreless relief. Evan Hafley had seven strikeouts and one walk in 7.2 innings.
Peaster advances to face Shallowater in the Region I-3A semifinals.
