For the first time in 74 years, Washburn Rural is bringing home a state baseball championship.

The No. 5 seed in Class 6A capped off a remarkable postseason run with a 4-3 victory over Lawrence Free State in the state title game, finishing the season 21-8 overall.

Under head coach Jay Mastin, the Junior Blues battled through one of the toughest classifications in Kansas and saved their best baseball for May.

Jason Lamb caught up with senior catcher Aiden Newberry, senior infielder Nate Selm, and head coach Jay Mastin. #sportsinkansas

[Zach Welklin @zwelklin260]

I need ALL ATHLETES to watch these two professionals playing at the highest level of their sport! Look at the eye contact, body language, humility, respect, and willingness to learn as their coach passionately holds them accountable for their mistakes. Be coachable!
