Ashland's 10-11 All-Star team clinched the District Championship against Medford with a final score of 10-4 behind stellar pitching by Evan McLennan - who went 4 1/3 innings allowing just 3 hits and 3 runs (2 earned) along with an amazing 9 strike outs. Evan was throwing the heat, with some saying he hit 60 MPH a few times. After Max Morrish came in relieve Evan, Isiah Titus closed out the game with 4 straight outs. Ashland had 4 runs in the 2nd, 6 runs in 4th to take a 10-2 lead with timely hitting by John Ropp, Matthew O'Donnell and Isiah Titus who combined to drive in 7 of the 10 runs. Parker Gerken, Zachary Sanderson and many others had great defensive plays to support Ashland's victory.
