Top-ranked Sterlington High School had just three hits in Sunday’s Class 3A semifinal contest against No. 4 Berwick.
But the final one proved to be the most important.
Central Catholic received enough quality pitching and solid defense to win Wednesday’s Division IV semifinal contest against top-seed Ouachita Christian.
So far, Berwick High School’s baseball team has survived every opponent of the Revenge Tour the squad has faced as it fights to clinch a second-straight Class 3A state championship.
No. 5 Central Catholic will continue its postseason journey when it faces No. 1 Ouachita Christian Wednesday at 2 p.m. at McMurry Park.
Berwick advanced to Class 3A state semifinals in Sulphur for the third consecutive year by beating Iota 9-3 in a winner-take-away game 3 Friday at Panther Diamond in Berwick.
