McLennan takes Region V Division I Baseball Championship
The McLennan Highlanders defeated Weatherford twice to claim the championship of the Region V Baseball Tournament in Lubbock.
After falling to Weatherford on Saturday, the Highlanders bounced back with wins over New Mexico Junior College, Odessa and Grayson to reach the championship, where they needed to beat Weatherford twice. They did exactly that.
