Midway Claims First 6A State Baseball Title with 6–2 Victory Over Atascocita

The Midway Panthers captured their first Class 6A state baseball title—and their first championship since 2003—with a 6–2 victory over Atascocita on June 7. Junior pitcher Brody Potts earned tournament MVP honors after delivering 4⅔ shutout innings in relief. He was joined on the All-Tournament Team by Jackson Goldstritch, Dru Ohmstede, TJ Woodson, and Canyon Martin. Key plays included Ohmstede’s successful hidden ball trick that stopped a critical rally in the fifth inning. Midway’s balanced offense and strong defense sealed the win and capped off a 33–8 season. Coach Eddie Cornblum called the championship a testament to the players’ character and dedication.
