NATCHEZ — Several area baseball teams wrapped up their seasons last week, two of which came away with state championships.

Trinity Episcopal and Centreville Academy won the baseball state championship in MAIS Classes A and AA, respectively.

Cathedral School, meanwhile, took Nanih Waiya High School to Game 3 in the third round of the MHSAA Class 1A playoffs, but lost 6-2 last Monday, ending the Green Wave’s season.

Trinity completely overpowered opponent Winona Christian Academy in the state championship round of the playoffs. After winning Game 1 9-0, the Saints took care of business at home Thursday with a 10-1 victory, giving the Saints their first-ever state title in baseball.

Trinity’s Givonni Dent pitched all seven innings for the Saints in Game 2, giving up one unearned run on three hits and five walks. He also had five strikeouts.

Perhaps the biggest hits of the day in Game 2 came on Jake Winston’s two home runs, one in the fourth inning and one in the fifth.

Trinity baseball coach Mitch Ashmore gave a lot of credit to his players following their first-ever state title in baseball.

“It’s a wonderful feeling, the players deserve it,” Ashmore said after the game. “They played well all year and competed at the highest level they could compete at. My contributed was very little, a lot of people could have guided this ship.”

Centreville Academy had to fight back from an 0-1 deficit in their state championship series against Simpson Academy. The Tigers fell to the Cougars 6-3 in Game 1, meaning they would have to win two straight at home Thursday to nab their first-ever state title in baseball.

And Centreville would do just that.

Trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the seventh, Centreville got two men on base before Tyler Towles hit a three-run, walkoff home run to give Centreville a 5-2 win.

In Game 3, a go-ahead home run by Cliff Hurst in the fifth inning and three shutout innings of relief by 2012 LSU commit Hunter Devall gave the Tigers a 4-3 win and a state title.

The Tigers dedicated the championship to former teammate Emile Garrett, who died in a car wreck in January 2010.

“We started playing for him last year and rode it through the playoffs of that year,” Centreville baseball coach Jason Horne said. “We just built momentum and played for him, and that continued this year. We got the job done.”

Cathedral stringed together eight hits against Nanih Waiya last Monday, but were unable to drive in enough runners to overcome a 6-2 deficit.

The Green Wave finished their season 17-7, and head coach Craig Beesley said he was pleased with the improvement his players showed throughout the year.

“I thought we came a long way from March 1,” Beesley said. “We struggled badly early in the year, and I was proud of the way we played. We just couldn’t get anything going on the offensive side of the ball.”

With baseball over, schools will now turn their attention to summer football workouts.
