Fresh back from the state baseball tournament, here's some observations on what we saw, what we heard, and thoughts on the future of this and the rest of the OHSAA tournaments.
The agonizing reality of baseball...Jumping out to an early 2-0 lead, Fort Recovery never scored again after the first to be overcome by Berlin Hiland in the final two innings. Hal McCoy writes for Press Pros.
After a stellar season and 37 years of tournament frustration, Mason, beind starting pitcher Michael Bilo (above) finally claimed its first title in OHSAA baseball with an 8-1 win over Twinsburg in the Division I Final.
After making a potentially back-breaking error in the sixth inning, Boston Mulinix raced home with the winning run in a wild three-run seventh-inning rally to give West Branch its first state title, sending his retiring father/coach Rick Mulinix out a winner.
That special feeling...Fort Recovery savors the final out in an impressive 3-1 win over Hillsdale in Saturday's Division IV semi-final game at Canal Park in Akron. Hal McCoy writes the story for Press Pros.
