EVANSVILLE — The objective for Drake Branson was simple: find a way. Sounds easy in theory. But this swing was arguably the most important of his career. And maybe for the Mater Dei baseball program in a long time. The Mater Dei senior connected on a single over first base in the eighth to score the go-ahead run in a 2-1 victory over Barr-Reeve in the IHSAA Class 2A regional at Bosse Field. It is the first regional title for the Wildcats since 2014.

EVANSVILLE — Jeremy Jones thinks about winning a sectional championship every single day. It truly has become an all-consuming thought for the North baseball coach. He spends all year preparing for this week. And if the Huskies lose in the postseason ― it didn't matter how or when ― Jones admits to becoming irritable in the summer. A sectional championship has been the singular mission since he arrived in 2014. Which is why this night was not only rewarding for him, but also his program.
