Wildcats win 2A District baseball title

Enterprise staff

Archbishop Murphy's batters were persistent and productive. Now the Wildcats are 2A District 1 baseball champions.

Archbishop Murphy scored in five different innings and received four innings of scoreless relief pitching from Dylan Healow to defeat Cedarcrest 9-6 May 10 in Anacortes.

"I'm real proud of the guys," Archbishop Murphy head coach Mark Potoshnik said. "We had consistent offensive production."

Pat Kelly was 3-for-3 with a double and three RBI and sophomore Konrad Garbrick added two RBI on two hits.

Cedarcrest scored all six of its runs in the third inning, before Healow entered and shut them out the rest of the way.

Archbishop Murphy takes on Aberdeen at 1 p.m., Saturday, May 17 at Volunteer Field in Anacortes. If the Wildcats win, they would then face either Sehome or Kingston at 4 p.m.
