Blowouts are rare in title games, but that's what the Notre Dame Fighting Irish did on Tuesday in a game between two Class C champions to see who will represent Section V in the Far West Regional Championship.
The Irish, who won the Class C1 crown, beat the C2 champs 17-4.
The game was played in Canandaigua.
Notre Dame scored eight runs in the first inning.
Jaden Sherwood notched the win, allowing just three hits and four runs over five innings while fanning nine. Ryan Fitzpatrick came on in relief for the final two innings and recorded all six outs by Ks.
The offense banged out 13 hits, with Sherwood, Jordan Welker, Bryceton Berry, and Chase Antinore all getting multiple hits. Sherwood went 3-5. Jay Antinore had three stolen bases.
