Under the leadership of Coaches Mahach and Mervis, our school’s varsity baseball team went undefeated 13-0 during the regular season, earning their title as Baltimore City Division 2 Champions. The Clippers secured a playoff spot, placing 9th in Maryland’s high school baseball team ranks.

The team was scheduled to have their semifinal game on a Tuesday at home against Aberdeen High School. However, due to unforeseen events, the game had to be moved to Saturday, May 11th at Douglas High School where the Clippers fell to Aberdeen 0-21.

According to Coach Mahach, “Ronald Hawkins (senior, Center Field) led the Clippers at the plate with two hits in three at bats. Quaron Walker-Bey (junior), Colin Washington (senior), and Jose Penalo Guillen (freshman) gave it their all on the mound.”

This playoff loss does not overshadow the impeccable season our boys have had. Below are their regular season game scores:

Edmondson: 19-15, Reginald F Lewis: 9-6, Frederick Douglas: 10-6, Digital Harbor: 14-3, NAF: 22-2, Coppin Academy: 12-8, Forest Park: 13-0, Edmondson: 24-12, Frederick Douglas: 28-2, Reginald F Lewis: 15-6, NAF: 22-2, Digital Harbor: 10-0, Forest Park: 31-2.

“I’d like to offer a big thank you to our captains, Jeter Luna and Robert Alvarez, as well as our other eight seniors.”, said Coach Mahach. “They were all important to the team this year and will be missed.”
