National will host a winners’ bracket game against Conococheague at 5 p.m. Saturday. Maugansville will play at Sharpsburg tonight at 6 in a losers’ bracket game. “We just tried to take advantage of some walks and a couple of errors,” National manager Steve Wilson said. “We just basically got some runs on the scoreboard early in the game.” Wilson said his team’s solid defensive play also contributed to the victory.

Austin Golden was shining Sunday afternoon, throwing a five-inning no-hitter to lead Conococheague to a 10-0 victory over Maugansville in the Maryland District 1 Junior Tournment winner's bracket final. “I couldn't have done it without my team backing me up, making plays,” Golden said. Conococheague's defense committed no errors and only two Maugansville baserunners made it as far as second base. Golden needed only 58 pitches to complete the five innings. He faced only 18 hitters, struck out one and allowed only three walks while hitting two batters.

Forrest Williamson pitched a complete game with seven strikeouts as Maugansville shut out Valley 18-0 on Thursday to win the Maryland District 1 Senior Tournament title.

Saturday, June 30, 2012 YOUTH BASEBALL MAUGANSVILLE - The Maugansville Little League Senior All-Stars rolled to a 16-6 victory over Conococheague on Saturday evening in the losers' bracket final of the Maryland District 1 Senior League Tournament. Maugansville will travel to Valley on Monday at 5:30 p.m. for the championship round. Valley - which beat Maugansville 14-4 in five innings in the winners' bracket final - can win the title with a victory Monday, but a Maugansville win would force a final game Thursday.

Confidence and steady nerves are usually keys to any victory. Maugansville bounced back in a major way after being no-hit on Sunday as it overcame a 10-3 deficit for a 15-12 victory on Tuesday to eliminate Valley from the District 1 Junior tournament. The win secures a berth in the championship round and a rematch with Conococheague on Thursday, beginning at 5:30 p.m. “We did not play a good game on Sunday,” Maugansville manager Phil Daniels said. “Gave up a lot of errors early, but this team has a lot of heart.” Heart was all Maugansville could depend on in the early going.

Winners never quit. Defense wins championships. Championships don't come easily. Pick a favorite cliche. Then, paste it on Conococheague. After an up-and-down week that included a no-hitter and a two-day extra inning affair, Conococheague emerged victorious Sunday night, beating Maugansville 10-8 to secure the Maryland District 1 Junior tournament championship. “These last two games we played, Maugansville gave us a handful.” Conococheague manager Jeff Forsythe said.

Halfway jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning and extended it with five runs in the second to take down Maugansville 11-5 on Friday evening in the first round of the Maryland District 1 9-10 Little League Tournament. Halfway will host West End on Saturday at 5 p.m., while Maugansville falls to losers' bracket play Monday. “We hit right away today,” Halfway manager Tim Anderson said. “We're a running team and we like to play small ball.” Halfway's top three batters - Brandon Myers, Shane Roberts and Cameron  Day - each scored in the first inning.
