FAIRFAX – Hazen Union alum and BFA-Fairfax head coach Mike Brown and his Bullet varsity baseball team began their division III title defense last week with impressive wins over Springfield and Woodstock.
Ryan Sheehan (four innings) and Reagan Baumeister (1) combined to no-hit No. 13 Springfield last Wednesday 13-0. Sheehan struck out 9 and helped his own cause, driving in four runs on a pair of doubles. Baumeister countered his teammate with a 2-4 performance at the plate, driving in two.
Sheehan kept it rolling over the weekend, scattering 5 hits and striking out 11 in a 7-3 win over fifth seeded Woodstock. The smooth lefty racked up two more hits at the plate, Baumeister went 2-3. Bryant Matton-Wright drove in a run and was on base four times.
The Bullets improved to 10-5 on the season and advanced to the division III Final Four, where they traveled to top seeded White River Valley (14-0) on Tuesday. The winner advances to the state title game on Saturday at Centennial Field. Fairfax is gunning for their sixth state championship under Brown.
