Sylvania Northview baseball voted the best OHSAA championship team in boys sports covered by SBLive Ohio in 2021-22.

Last week, we asked fans to vote for the top boys championship team covered by SBLive Ohio in the 2021-22 sports year. Among the 15 nominees, Sylvania Northview baseball earned the top spot by getting 57.8 percent of the more than 7,500 votes cast.

With a 6-1 win over Grove City in the Division I state championship game, Northview won its first baseball state title and finished 21-8 on the season.

Blake Bradford tossed a four-hitter and struck out six in the championship game, while Garrett Zimmerman threw a two-hitter in a 3-2 win over Kenston in the state semifinals.

Brodey Acres, who was second-team All-Ohio, drove in what would end up being the championship-winning run with a two-run single in the third inning.

“I have imagined it, but I never thought it would actually happen,” Acres said. “I can’t complain that it did happen. Much better than I imagined.”
