Chesapeake baseball scores four first-inning runs in 4-3 regional final win over Mt. Hebron

Often in playoff baseball, a team can take some time to settle in. In Tuesday afternoon’s Class 3A South Region I final, Chesapeake bucked that trend.

In wet, rainy conditions, the Cougars struck early with four first-inning runs. Dylan Adams and Keller Herzberger highlighted the rally with a pair of two-RBI singles. That early run support was enough as the Cougars held off multiple comeback attempts from top seed Mt. Hebron in a 4-3 win.

“You just enjoy it,” Chesapeake coach Jeff Young said.
