St. Albans shuts out Jackson-Reed to capture DCSAA baseball title
St. Albans pitcher Myles Upchurch knew that Sunday would probably be the last time he stepped into a batter's box, and the Alabama signee couldn't have asked for a better final swing. Minutes after getting out of a bases-loaded jam in the fifth, Upchurch hit a two-run home run over the right field wall which, coupled with his complete game shutout, gave the Bulldogs a 2-0 win over Jackson-Reed in the D.C.

The game, which started Monday at Nationals Youth Academy, was postponed due to lightning with Jackson-Reed at the plate with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning, the game knotted at 19 and the bases loaded.

A spring tradition: Jackson-Reed makes it 32 straight DCIAA baseball titles
The D.C. Interscholastic Athletic Association baseball championship tends to follow a similar script each spring. Jackson-Reed's opponent shows up to the field — this year, the Nationals Youth Academy in Southeast Washington — hoping to undo more than three decades of precedent. But time and time again, often rather quickly, those hopes are put to bed, and again it's the Tigers who end the day with a trophy.
