Warren Champion Shuts Out Bloom-Carroll, 4-0, for Sixth State Title
AKRON, Ohio � Fifth-ranked Warren Champion scored twice in the top of the third inning and added two insurance runs in the seventh to win its sixth state championships, 4-0, over third-ranked Carroll Bloom-Carroll Saturday in the Division III state championship game at Firestone Stadium.
Champion�s six titles are tied for fifth-most in OHSAA softball history. The Golden Flashes (30-4) also won titles in 2012, 2011, 1994, 1980 and in 1978, the first year that the OHSAA conducted a softball state tournament.
Champion senior pitcher Haylee Gardiner, who added a two-run single in the seventh inning to seal the win, allowed just two hits, struck out six and walked one to improve to 18-2 on the season.
Sophomore Molly Williams went 3-for-3 for Champion and started the Flashes� run-scoring third inning after there were two outs. She singled and later scored on a single by Brittany Allen, who then scored on a throwing error.
Bloom-Carroll (27-5) junior McKenna Coffman pitched well for the Bulldogs in relief of All-Ohio pitcher Taran Alvelo, who was not available Saturday due to an off-field incident following their semifinal win. McKenna struck out 10 and allowed just two earned runs.

Akron, Ohio � Two runs in the bottom of the fifth inning propelled eighth-ranked Granville to a 2-1 win over third-ranked Hebron Lakewood Saturday in the Division II state championship game at Firestone Stadium.
Separated by just 10 miles, these two teams met twice during the regular season, with Lakewood (32-2) winning both games. The state championship game, however, belonged to Granville (28-6), which got a stellar pitching effort from senior Abby Barker, who scattered five hits, struck out six and walked none.
Freshman Halle Garman led off the Granville fifth inning with a double and later scored on a throwing error by Lakewood. A single down the right field line by freshman Rose Sawyers scored sophomore Karissa Harris, who had reached on the throwing error.
Sophomore Courtney Vierstra struck out five, walked none and allowed five hits and one earned run in the circle for Lakewood.
Granville was making just its first appearance in the state championship game (one previous trip to the state tournament overall).
