Liberty-Eylau heading back to the state championship for third year in a row
FORNEY, TX (KTAL/KMSS) – After sweeping Iowa Park in the semi-state series, the Liberty-Eylau Leopards are heading back to the state championship for the third consecutive year, with the chance to win the title for a second time in a row. The Leopards won game one against Iowa Park in dramatic fashion on Friday night, going into the seventh inning down 2-1, but came back to win 7-2. Saturday's game was more straight to the point. Collin Evans got things going with a two RBI single giving the Leopards an early lead in the first. Then in the third, RBIs from Gabe Jarvis and Cade McCleod put Liberty-Eylau up 4-0 to win the game. 'You work real hard to get to this moment, so this is a fun one,' head coach Zach Fowler said. 'There's one more dog pile we wanna jump on and that's next Thursday. So, after we celebrate this evening, go eat good, we're gonna turn our attention to Corpus Christi, London, an unfamiliar opponent and we're gonna start prepping for them and hopefully we'll give everything we got on Thursday night and Dell Diamond.' Although the Leopards are no stranger to the title game, the feeling never gets old. 'It's 3rd time in a row but you never want to take it for granted. I mean it's not even normal because every year is a different year and this year from the start of the year to now we've worked our butt off. And now it's just one more,' senior Triston Haugh said. 'We're doing it for not only the coaches and the team, but the community and they backed us up all year so I mean that's all we can ask for.' Even for the juniors on the team who nothing but state championships, it is still a special moment. 'I don't really expect it,' junior Maddax Moore said. 'We just put in all this work and it happens and you look up and you're at the finish line.' Liberty-Eylau will play in the state title game at Dell Diamond in Round Rock on Thursday, June 5th against Corpus Christi, London. First pitch is set for 7 p.m. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Mount Vernon's offense explodes in 3A state championship win over Kennewick
Kennewick tried to pitch around Mount Vernon's Xavier Neyens in the Washington WIAA Class 3A state championship game at Parker Faller Field in Yakima on Saturday. Three times, the Lions intentionally walked Neyens, the No. 1 prospect in the state and a projected first-round pick in this summer's MLB Draft. But it turns out the rest of the Bulldogs can hit the ball pretty well, too. The game went back and forth early on and Kennewick led 5-2 at one point, but Mount Vernon exploded in the later innings, piling it on and walking away with a 14-6 win. 'We all love it when that happens,' Mount Vernon first baseman Bode Webb said of Kennewick's decision to keep intentionally walking Neyens. 'We always want (Neyens) to hit, but whatever happens, we love it. We never quit.' As a team, Mount Vernon racked up 13 hits in 28 at-bats and drew nine walks. Webb drove in six runs for the Bulldogs, part of an offensive explosion that stretched close to three hours. When the dust settled, it was almost hard to believe Mount Vernon had ever trailed. 'Dawgs don't quit,' Webb said. 'Never do.' Mount Vernon designated hitter Moises Lucatero hit three doubles. In total, five Mount Vernon players had multi-hit days. Kennewick, which came from behind a day prior to beat Gig Harbor in extra innings in the tournament semifinals, hit the ball pretty well, too. Kennewick nine-hole hitter Dierks Chavez went 2-for-2 and drove in three runs. First baseman Cameron Owen went 2-for-3 with two RBI. The Lions collected 10 hits, but couldn't keep pace with Mount Vernon's offensive explosion. The title is Mount Vernon's third total and first since 1992, when the program defeated Sehome in the 3A championship game. 'It's a super tight group,' Webb said. 'We all love each other so much. I'm happy our seniors went out this way. I can't even explain it, it's awesome.'
