Brookwood second baseman Ross Heffley put a number in virtually every statistical category imaginable in the Broncos' 14-3 win in Game 1 of the Class AAAAA quarterfinals Tuesday at East Coweta in Sharpsburg.

He fell down twice and was charged with two errors —- "only two?" he asked —- but the ones Brookwood likely remembers are the two homers, five hits, five RBIs and four runs.

"I've had some big games, but I think that's the best this year," said Heffley, who has turned things up a notch in the playoffs. "I've just been getting good pitches to hit and putting the barrel on them."

Brookwood (29-3) won after the first game of the best-of-three series was delayed by weather 1 1/2 hours at the start, and led 4-0 in the bottom of the second inning of Game 2 before more weather forced a postponement. The series is scheduled to resume Thursday at 4 p.m. Game 2 will be replayed in its entirety.

Chase Hawkins tossed a complete game, striking out five and allowing six hits. He escaped a bases-loaded, two-out jam in the second and surrendered three runs on four hits in the fifth, the big blow an RBI double by East Coweta's Kenny Reeves.

For Heffley and his mates, the postponement seemed the only thing that might slow down their bats. The Broncos pounded out 14 hits in the opener, eight against East Coweta starter Cam Bedrosian, who was tagged with eight runs in 4 1/3 innings.

"We've hit the ball OK the last two series," said Brookwood coach Rick Howard, whose club also got homers from Ryan Lewis and Jordan Erisman. "Heffley's a clutch player. We have a lot of kids like that."

All four homers in the first game were opposite-field shots, taking advantage of gusting winds toward right field. Lewis narrowly missed a second home run; his triple to right-center hit the fence two feet from the top.
