I hate it when otherwise great games end that way. West Springfield vs. Woodbridge happens today at 12:30 at Woodbridge. Stone Bridge awaits the winner today at OP at 5:30 for the championship.

I'm told that if WS wins, game is at 4:30 at OP...5:30 in Woodbridge if it goes the other way...not sure why the change, but that's what I've heard at this point...

Is Northern Virginia baseball simply superior to baseball in Florida and California, or are we missing something in all of this? It appears to me that the No Va teams are dominating--not just winning--but dominating, their out-of-state opponents. PVI, for example, has won it spring break tournament in South Carolina three straight years and goes for a fourth in the coming weeks. Now, this thread reveals No Va teams winning in what we always thought were hotbeds of great baseball. Are the No Va teams just this much better?

Woodbridge - 8 West Springfield - 4
Tyler Thomas Complete Game and the Win.
Wahl Two Run Shot in the First.

Woodbridge vs. Stonebridge @ 5:30 Tonight.
Game will be played at Woodbridge.

Mt Vernon 11 WestPo 0 .... 4 errors and variety of miscues allowed 8 of Mt V's runs. Senior Mt V's pitcher threw well and hit a hr.

While our teams are above avg when compared to other states, I don't think, as a whole, we are in the same class as Fla and Cal. A couple of tournaments is too small a sample I think.

Woodson 15 Oakton 4 4.5 innings

McLean loses it's first game in Lions Tournament in San Diego to Bishop O'Dowd by a score of 5-3. Game ended with a walk-off HR by Bishop O'Dowd. MHS advances out of pool play, however, as they win the tiebreakers. Two games scheduled for tomorrow. Look for Buckley & Fitzgerald to pitch for the Highlanders.

Woodson 12 W-L 0 in five innings. Breslin hits a grand slam.

Liberty(Bealeton) over Thomas Jefferson, 9-1 today.

In the 3rd place game it was West Springfield over Osbourn Park 11-4. Anyone have the Woodbridge/Stone Bridge championship game result?

Good luck to McLean...nice program.

McLean Highlanders defeat Grossmont High School of California to advance to the Finals of the Premire Division of the Lions International Tournament in San Diego by a score of 2-0. Grossmont has won this tourney the past three years from what I have been told.

Sean Fitzgerald picked up the win throwing a mere 53 pitches, but was forced to leave the mound as the rules (very Babe Ruthish)don't allow more than ten innings in the tourney. Josh Sborz came in and took care of business in the 6th and 7th. Key RBI's in the sixth by Riley Beiro and James Oldenburg accounted for MHS's runs.

MHS now advances to the tournament final tonight. Denis Buckley is the likely starter for MHS. Already a GREAT showing by the lone Virginia team in the tourney.

A friend of mine has a son at South County. He said they went 3 and 0 in pool play and they play in the semi's tonight. They are at Myrtle Beach playing in the Mingo Bay Baseball Classic.

Lake Braddock over Suncoast (FL) 16 - 8

Lake Braddock loses in the semi-final to Flanagan High School (FL) 13 - 12

Lake Braddock over South Miami Senior High 14 - 4 in 6 innings to finish in 3rd place

South County victorious tonight and plays for the title Friday at 12:30.

Woodson beats George Mason 9-7. Reilly homers.
