One city product in super regionals

And then there was one.

Four city high school products earned trips to the NCAA Baseball Tournament, but just one advanced out of the regional round Sunday.

Free State graduate Tim Lewis, left fielder for Maryland, went 1-for-5 with two runs and an RBI in the Terps’ 10-1 rout of top-seeded South Carolina in the championship game of the Columbia, South Carolina, regional. Maryland advanced to a super regional.

LHS grad Shane Willoughby — a shortstop at Youngstown State — went 0-for-2 in YSU’s 12-4 loss to Stanford in Bloomington, Indiana.

Lawrence High product Garrett Cleavinger threw two innings in Oregon’s 9-8 victory over Xavier in an elimination game in Nashville, Tennessee. Cleavinger allowed two runs off two hits with three strikeouts. Later Sunday, Cleavinger (3-2) took the loss in a 3-2 elimination-game setback to Vanderbilt. Cleavinger allowed two runs — one earned — without a hit over one-plus innings. He walked one batter and hit another.

Free State grad Colin Toalson did not pitch in Kansas’ 8-6 loss to Kentucky in Louisville, Kentucky.
