David Greer paced around his classrooms at Desert Mountain on Tuesday, anxiously awaiting the start of the Division I baseball state championship game.

Four local players have been pegged as top-100 prospects by Baseball America for this June’s Major League Baseball draft.

Never a doubt.

A quick breakdown of Monday night's Division I softball state championship matchup between No. 14 Chaparral and No. 6 Red Mountain:

It took a black-and-blue kind of semifinal battle between Mountain View and Chaparral to set up an all-red-and-black championship game in the Division I girls softball state tournament.

The pendulum of momentum swung back and forth several times in the sixth inning of Thursday’s winners’ bracket baseball game between No. 1 Desert Mountain and No. 2 Tucson.

Advancing deep into a state baseball tournament is nothing new for Notre Dame.

Maybe the hat on Sam Messina’s head is less about uniform attire and more to cover the continuous discoloration of his hair.

The Chaparral Firebirds broke open a scoreless game on a bases-loaded error at the plate as pitcher Dallas McBride held off the Mountain Ridge Mountain Lions for a 2-0 win in its elimination game Tuesday.

The Notre Dame baseball team forged a lead late and held on in the final inning to keep its season alive for one more game in a 4-3 win over No. 1 Seton Catholic in a Division II baseball elimination game on Tuesday night at Camelback Ranch-Glendale Stadium.

For most hitters a mistake pitch is something up and over the plate.

This was two games of frustration busted out, in a big way.

The Chaparral baseball team isn’t quite ready to give up on its dream of a third consecutive state title.

Two Corona del Sol baseball players were so sure the team wasn’t making the playoffs that they didn’t bring their gear to school on the day the bracket was revealed. A third wore a bathing suit to practice.

Keep it simple. Easy, right?

Her team found ways to stay alive for at least a few more days in the Division I state tournament, but Lindsey Collins wasn't gushing.

The top seed in the Division II baseball state tournament got off to a rocky start on Thursday.

Corey Wheaton learned in the span of one inning just how important it is to be decisive.

If anybody was figuring that the Red Mountain softball run would end after three years, think again.

The pressure mounts as each round progresses in the Division I state softball tournament, and pitchers can often feel isolated in the circle when they run into trouble.
