Clemson commitment Geoffrey Gilbert put on a show Monday, launching a pair of home runs, including a grand slam, to lead Bishop England High School (Charleston, S.C.) to the Class AAA District 7 Championship with a 12-2 win over Swansea.
Gilbert, the Palmetto State’s top-rated junior, swatted a go-ahead, three-run homer in the fifth inning before sending a grand slam over the fence an inning later.
Four days earlier against Aynor last Thursday, Gilbert pitched a complete-game shutout to send his team to the district championship game. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound lefthander allowed just one hit and two walks while striking out 10 in the victory.
