Berwick, Central Catholic take their shots at a title

Two Tri-City area baseball teams were playing for state high school championships early this week after fighting their way into the state semifinals at Sulphur.
Central Catholic, seeded fifth in Select Division IV, was to play top-seeded Opelousas Catholic at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at Sulphur’s McMurry Park.
In Non-Select Division III, defending champion and 14th seed Berwick was set to play Sterlington at 11 a.m. Wednesday, also at McMurry.
Despite the low seed, Berwick powered through the playoffs by winning best-of-three series against Springfield, Caldwell Parish and Jewel Sumner.
A Berwick win Wednesday puts the Panthers in the 5:30 p.m. Friday title contest against either South Beauregard or Doyle.
Central Catholic had a bye in the first playoff round, and then beat Delhi Charter and Riverside Academy to reach the semifinals.
Glenbrook and Covenant Christian were to play in the other Select Division IV semifinal. The title game will be at 2 p.m. Friday.
