The Okaw Valley baseball team won its third regional title in four years with a 3-0 shutout of Argenta-Oreana at the IHSA Class 1A Meridian Regional championship in Macon Saturday.

Despite defeating AO twice this season 5-1 (April 25) and 18-0 (May 1), the No. 1 seeded Timberwolves were not taking anything for granted.

In last year’s regional championship, AO upset OV.

The Timberwolves, especially senior Garrett Fritz, were determined not to let that happen this season.

Fritz took the mound and shut down the Bombers in the top of the first inning.

In the bottom of the first, Fritz drove in two runs with a home run.

OV scored another run in the first, and that was all the run support he needed.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
