Lakota East Wins First Baseball Title
Thunderhawks defeats Perrysburg 6-2 for Division I championship
COLUMBUS, Ohio�In its first trip to
the state tournament, unranked Lakota East leaves as champion after
defeating fifth-ranked Perrysburg 6-2 in the 2011 OHSAA Division I
Baseball State Championship Saturday at Huntington Park.
For the Thunderhawks (23-7), senior pitcher Evan Hills kept Perrysburg
hitters off balance the entire game, surrendering only two runs in a
complete game effort. The two runs Hills did surrender came in the
bottom of the seventh in an effort by Perrysburg to come back.
Lakota East began the second inning and its scoring with senior Mitch
Geers lining a single up the middle and senior Craig Thomson hitting a
double to left centerfield. After consecutive outs senior Zak Kloenne
lined a single into right field collecting two RBI. The Thunderhawks
added one run in the fourth when junior Blake Wilder singled in a run.
The top of the seventh included all-important insurance runs for Lakota
East, which scored three more times on two hits and an error. In the
bottom half of the inning Perrysburg threatened with a comeback
beginning with senior Ryan Young hitting a single up the middle,
followed by a walk and a pinch-hit double by freshman Mark Delas scoring
a run. Yellowjacket senior Matt Garbig�s sacrifice fly two batters later
plated Perrysburg�s second and final run.
The state championship is Lakota East�s first title in baseball.
Perrysburg (26-4) finishes as runner-up for the first time in its second
state tournament appearance.

DeSales Holds Off Hoban to Win Division
II Baseball
Stallions claim first baseball title in over 30 years
COLUMBUS, Ohio�In a back and forth
championship game, Columbus St. Francis DeSales held on to defeat Akron
Archbishop Hoban 9-8 in the 2011 OHSAA Division II state baseball
championship game Saturday at Huntington Park.
In the bottom of the sixth inning with a
runner on, DeSales junior Zak Decamp sent a ball over the wall in
left-center field to put the Stallions ahead two runs. The towering shot
proved to be the difference maker in the game.
Scoring began early and often for both teams
with four Hoban base runners crossing the plate in the top half of the
first and three DeSales base runners crossing in the bottom half. The
Stallions scored three more in the bottom of the second, one in the
bottom of the third and the Decamp home run in the bottom of the sixth.
Hoban scored two more in the top of the
third and one more in the top of the seventh, but was unable to push
across the tying run as a result of solid defense from DeSales junior
shortstop Brennan Schlabig.
With the championship game victory DeSales
finishes the season 21-9 winning its first state baseball title since
1979.
Archbishop Hoban (18-9) finishes as state
runner-up for the second time in school history. They had previously
accomplished the feat in 1993.

Canton Central Catholic Takes Second
State Crown
Crusaders take 5-0 lead, then score twice in sixth for win
COLUMBUS, Ohio � Unranked Canton Central Catholic jumped out to a
5-0 lead, then scored two runs in the top of the sixth inning to break a
5-5 tie and win the OHSAA Division III state baseball championship over
third-ranked Cincinnati Madeira Sunday at Huntington Park.
The game was originally scheduled for Saturday evening, but storms in
Central Ohio caused a postponement until Sunday morning.
The championship is the second for Central Catholic (26-8), which also
won it in 2008. Madeira (23-2) was aiming for its second title (1999).
Central Catholic used four hits, a walk and an error to jump out to a
quick 3-0 lead in the top of the first. Three more hits and another
error in the top of the third inning allowed the Crusaders to push their
lead to 5-0. That lead was erased when Madeira scored twice in the third
and three times in the fifth, but CCC got singles from three seniors �
Tyler Triner, Joe Tann and Ryan Pack � in the top of the sixth to
produce two runs and the win.
Tann (11-1) earned the win for Central Catholic with three innings of
scoreless relief. Pack went 4-for-4 with three runs batted in.

Minster Wins First State Baseball Title
Wildcats defeat New Middletown Springfield 6-0
COLUMBUS, Ohio�Minster scored early and late to secure a 6-0
victory over New Middletown Springfield in the 2011 OHSAA Division IV
State Baseball Championship game Saturday at Huntington Park. The
championship game victory marks the first time the Wildcats have won the
title.
Minster (23-8) scored three runs in the top of the first off of
Springfield starting pitcher senior Brad Ferraro, who walked five
batters in the inning including the bases loaded to begin the game. The
Wildcats did not score again until the top of the seventh when they
collected three runs on four hits. Leading the way for Minster were
seniors Ben Heitbrink and Craig Purpus, which both went 1-for-3 with two
RBI.
Springfield (18-7) could not put anything together offensively to mount
a charge during the game. Minster sophomore Adam Niemeyer pitched four
scoreless innings while allowing only three hits and striking out three.
Junior Austin Knapke matched his teammate�s effort on the mound,
throwing the last three innings for the Wildcats to collect the win
while only allowing two Tiger base runners.
Minster now holds its first state championship trophy in baseball
alongside the runner-up trophy from the title game in 2003. Springfield
has now finished as runner-up four times most recently in 2009, also in
1980 and 1930.
