LS Warriors Baseball

GREAT weekend of state finals on the diamonds for an epic conclusion to a wild year. ⚾️ Each of the first 4 state finals were thrillers, with the tying run either on base or at the plate in the last inning. ⚾️ Record-tying 11-run inning for CM in the 5th overcame a 4-2 deficit to snap a 53-year title drought. ⚾️ Two sensational comebacks in the 7th down to their last out — Georgetown snapped a no-hitter with Ty Southall’s game-tying 2-run double before Georgetown won in the 8th, and Seekonk generated two runners with two outs for Brayden McBride’s go-ahead double. ⚾️ Stellar four-man job on the mound sealed Middleboro’s first title since 2015. ⚾️ KP & Georgetown avenged state final losses against the teams that beat them (2022 & 2023 for KP, 2024 for Georgetown). 🥎 Dynasties continued — Taunton is the second program ever to win six straight titles (D1), Case is the third program ever to four-peat (D4 & D3). ⚾️ 🥎 KP won in both sports in D2, just the seventh time a school has done that the same year. 🥎 Epic conclusion for KP coach Kate Fallon, winning the state title in her last year as coach. She goes out with seniors McCoy Walsh & Ali Gill, who starred again to cap off excellent careers. 🥎 Taunton & Attleboro left it all out there in D1, combining for a state championship record 19 runs, and Attleboro tied the record for most runs (8) by a runner-up. 🥎 AMSA (D4) & Maynard (D5) each won titles in their state final debuts, backed by stellar two-way showings from Ava McLeod & Maddy Karlon. 🥎 Two years in a row SOPH Alyana DeJesus smashed a critical HR for Case late to key a title. 🥎 Taunton’s dynasty is unrivaled this millennium, winning 80 straight games against MIAA competition & are 109-6 since the pandemic-cancelled season. Borderline unfair to primarily highlight Gatorade Player of the year Bella Bourque & Aniyah Bailey with how deep down the lineup its dominance came from this year.
