Class 4A, 5A baseball Final Four preview: Severance, a new program four years ago, one win away from first state title copreps
Four years ago, Severance baseball was a new team at a new school.
“If I knew exactly how we did this so fast, I’d make a hell of a lot of money writing a book,” Johnson quipped. “But the big thing is we had the right mix of kids coming in, and a couple of assistants who worked with these kids when they were young. It all came together as a great mix of kids, and coaches, and the talent and drive of my players.”
“They breed confidence into the other kids,” Johnson said. “They’re both good leaders and they do it in different ways. Mason’s more the silent, watch-what-I-do type, and Nolan, ever since his freshman year, has been a vocal leader with this group. … He’s the one I go to when we need a pep talk and they’re tired of hearing it from me.”The duo carried Severance to a pair of wins in the regional tournament to set up the state run.
The team’s balanced cast outside of Hertzke and Bright enabled Severance to re-find its footing following a three-game slide at midseason in which the Silver Knights lost to Thompson Valley and then Northridge twice at the end of April. Severance hasn’t lost since, racking up 11 consecutive wins heading into Saturday’s title game.
On the other side, Lutheran features the father/son coaching tandem of Dick and Scott Hormann and preaches an emphasis on fundamental baseball. The Lions are led by junior right-hander/outfielder Eli Morgan, who has a .467 average and 11 homers to pair with a 3-1 record and 3.38 ERA. Other pitching options for LHS are junior right-handers Jake Field and Asher Clark and senior right-hander Alex Chumrau.
