In many ways, 2011 was a typical NC baseball season. The Green Wave won the MSL-Ohio title, were District Champions for the 7th time in 8 years and were Regional Champions for the 3rd year in a row.  The Green Wave headed into Huntington Park for the State Semi-Finals, against Minster, on a roll and focused to bring home their first state title since 2006.

 

The Green Wave were up 4-1 with 2 outs in the 5th inning. Everything was going their way. Seven outs to the State Final and a chance for another state title…then EVERYTHING went wrong. Five unearned runs on five errors put the Green Wave behind 6-4 before the third out of the 5th inning was in the books. The Greenies responded in the 6th, scoring a run and had the bases loaded with 2 outs when a a sharp hit ball by Jimmy Lough was snagged behind 2nd base by Minster’s shortstop. He flipped the ball to second base just ahead of a sliding NC base runner, ending the season in disappointing fashion. Minster went on to become the DIV State Champions.

 

The future looks very bright for NC Baseball. Don’t count the Green Wave out on making it back to the Final Four and winning that 7th State title in 2012!
