Baseball Top 10: Champions crowned with postseason in full swing
After 11 years, Steve Sutherland finally got the monkey off his back. In recent seasons, the coach and his Walter Johnson baseball team have made a habit of advancing to the region final, but time and time again the Wildcats fell just short. This year, as the region's top seed, they again advanced to the title game, their third in four seasons. They broke through with a 10-0 mercy-rule win over rival Whitman Thursday, as the Wildcats claimed the Class 4A West II championship and kept their momentum rolling two days later with a dominant state quarterfinal victory — punching their ticket to the Maryland Class 4A semifinals for the first time in program history. 'Since covid, we've had 16-plus-win seasons every single year. But we've never been able to get over that hump,' Sutherland said. 'I do think there's such a thing as baseball luck. You need to be prepared, but you also need a little bit of luck and, you know, we're healthy at the right time. It's a great feeling knowing we finally got it done and I think we're prepared for this next game.' No. 8 Walter Johnson's semifinal matchup against Reservoir will be a tantalizing pitching duel. The Wildcats boast a tandem of dominant southpaws, Nolan Ross and Spencer Gilcrest, while Reservoir's one-two punch of Matthew Russell and Gavin Metrick has been as dominant as any in the state. The other 4A semifinal at Shirley Povich Field in Bethesda features No. 5 Broadneck against Urbana. The Bruins' region title was a similarly marquee moment, it being their first in 30 years. It required knocking off Leonardtown, both the defending state champion and the program responsible for Broadneck's elimination in two of the past three seasons. Junior Aiden Casey hit a walk-off double down the left-field line in extra innings Thursday to secure a 2-1 victory for the Anne Arundel County champions. 'It was an exciting moment,' Bruins Coach Matt Skrenchuk said. 'To be able to get out of our region is something that we've been striving to do, something that we've been focused on all season. We're very proud of what we've accomplished so far.' All records through Sunday. The Cadets won their third straight Washington Catholic Athletic Conference championship by sweeping Paul VI. They finished the season as winners of their last 20 games and will span the entire year as the area's top-ranked squad.
