Senior Michael Padron pitched four hitless innings of relief and fellow senior Jordan Worley drove in the winning run as Southwest defeated Braddock, 5-4, to win its second district title in four years. The Eagles will host Killian Wednesday afternoon in the Regional quarterfinals at Andre Dawson Field. Southwest (15-9) got on the board first in the second inning when Evan Padron singled, moved to second when Alberto Rigual was hit by a pitch, took third on a wild pitch and scored on a passed ball. The Bulldogs (11-12) took a 3-1 lead in the top of the third inning on a hit batsman followed by three hits. The Eagles re-took the lead in the fifth with a two-out rally. Lorenzo Hernandez beat out a bunt for a hit and was forced home after cocnsecutive walks to Worley, Eddie Sierra and Osmany Hernandez. Alex Pereira follwed with a 2-run single to put Southwest on top, 4-3. Braddock scored an unearned run in the top of the sixth but Southwest battled back in the bottom of the inning. Rigual led off with a single, Matthew Fernandez sacrificed courtesy runner Justin Estevez to second and Chris Alvarez walked before Worley delivered the game-winning hit.
