Many McDonough players held back tears as they posed with the state runner-up trophy. (Kyle Melnick/For The Washington Post)The McDonough baseball team entered the Maryland 1A playoffs with a record just one game above .500. The Rams began playing with more aggression and focus, coasting to the Maryland 1A South title before reaching the Maryland 1A championship Saturday afternoon. The Rams kept pace with Colonel Richardson until the ninth inning, when the Colonels scored six runs to win, 6-0, and take the championship. This is something not many people could do, especially against this team.”On Tuesday, McDonough (13-9) topped Randallstown to reach its first Maryland state championship since 2015, when it lost to Brunswick.
