Look: Sumrall wins Mississippi 4A high school baseball state championship
PEARL — Sumrall beat Pontotoc 11-4 to sweep the series and claim the Mississippi (MHSAA) Class 4A Baseball State Championship Thursday evening at Trustmark Park.
It’s the Bobcats (33-1) sixth state title in school history and first since 2015. Sumrall is ranked No. 2 in the nation in Baseball America's latest Top 25 rankings.
Ethan Aultman had two hits to lead Sumrall offensively and was named the series Most Valuable Player.
“I’ve gained confidence and being more comfortable at the plate and have been seeing the ball really well,” Aultman said. “After last year losing in the state championship like we did, there is no better feeling than winning it.”
