Championship Saturday and Who's No. 1?
Here are the big stories from Saturday's championship games and, below, a chance to vote for your Top 10 baseball teams:
Softball: Fico's no-hitter gives Masuk a second straight title (no shock here)
Softball: Gates lead Lauralton Hall to third championship (after beating Seymour in the quarters, this, too became a foregone conclusion)
Baseball: Law completes improbable run (From 9-11 to state champs, you can't script a better ending)
Baseball: Westhill buries Masuk's title hopes (this was a mild surprise. The score, not the result)
Lacrosse: Parnell lifts Prep to third straight title in three-overtime thriller (easily the best game of the day)
Lacrosse: New Fairfield earns undefeated season over Weston. (SWC and Class S glad to see C.J. Costabile go)
Volleyball: Staples wins third straight title
Also, in baseball I got the final tally from the New Haven Register today and, frankly, I'm flummoxed when trying to pick the No. 1 baseball team in Connecticut. Is it Westhill, which couldn't win the FCIAC but won Class LL? Is it Plainville, which upset No. 1 Seymour in the Class M semifinals? Or do you reward other teams.
You make the call. Give me your top 15 teams in the comments below this list:
1. Seymour 25-1 def Stonington 4-3, Granby 5-1, Montville 7-2 and lost 5-1 (9) to Plainville
