Now that the 4 Championship matchups are set.. Who you got and why?

1A - Newman vs MSTM
2A - Beckman vs Kuemper
3A - Assumption vs Harlan
4A - Dowling vs Johnston
 
1A - MSTM #8 hitter finished a long at bat in the 2nd with a 2 RBI single making it 2-0.

That just changed in the top of the 4th as MSTM stole home on a throw back to the pitcher. It's 3-0 Blue Devils bottom 4 now. Great game here! Newman 2 on, no outs...
 
Unreal! Timely hitting, heads up base running, wild pitches...you name it, it happened in favor of Newman bottom of the 4th.

Newman SEVEN, MSTM 3. 5th inning.
 
Newman Knights are the 2017 1A State Champions over Martensdale - St. Mary's. Final 8-3. Game ends on a 9-3 DP.
 
Kuemper never gave up. Got 5 back in the 6th and then one more before the final in a game that looked like it would end early.

First inning was huge for Beckman. All 9 runs scored then and win 2017 2A State Championship 9-6 over Kuemper.

And in 4A - Johnston keeps Dowling from completing the private school sweep by defeating the Maroons 5-0 in the nightcap for the 2017 4A Championship.

Great day of championships and great summer of Iowa baseball once again!
