Ead Simon has coached a lot of good baseball teams throughout the years, but he found this fall's team at Roff to be special.
“We don't have anybody that throws the ball super hard, but it's a pretty close-knit group, a group that's good at baseball,” Simon said. “They're a really good group to coach.”
No. 3 Roff was not flashy, but not all champions are.
Roff upset No. 1 Drummond 8-3 Friday at Edmond Santa Fe to win the Class B fall baseball state championship for the first time since 2009.
Pitcher Aiden Bagwell took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, and Brady Benedict drove in four runs to take down a previously unbeaten Drummond team.
Bagwell was marvelous outside of a three-run homer by Garrett DeHaas in the sixth. Bagwell held Drummond below four runs for the first time all fall and helped Roff finish with a team ERA of 1.89.
“He was superb on the biggest stage of all,” Simon said. “His composure and command were legendary.”
Across town at Edmond Memorial, Class A No. 1 Silo rolled to its first fall title since 2014 and second straight including last spring.
Star pitcher Carson Atwood threw seven shutout innings, allowing just three hits and three walks on 106 pitches. He struck out 10 and also drove in a run.
Dylan Turner also drove in two runs.
