Warhawks Win 2003 Northern Region Championship!

Saturday May 31, 2003 at Fairfax High School. The Madison Warhawks came from behind twice to defeat Robinson and win their second consecutive Northern Region Championship.  The game was full of exciting defensive plays and key hits.  Center fielder Andrew Baird threw out a runner, catcher Matt Foley threw out two runners and right fielder Mark Riffee made two spectacular diving catches to end innings and the ball game.  Chris Wimmer and First Baseman Adam Bechtold made several key defensive plays. The Warhawks offense was paced by Adam Bechtold who was 3 for 3 with two doubles. Johnny Ayers homered early for the Warhawks.  Josh Canova had three RBI's on two hits including a double and Matt Riffee was 2 for 3. Matt Foley's triple scored Matt Riffee with the winning run and Johnny Ayers with an insurance run. Nick Tomasetti added a single in the  last rally. Madison's first run was scored on a sacrifice fly by Mark Riffee. Andrew Baird singled early in the game and also scored a key run.   Sophomore Chris Sterbenz started the game on the mound for Madison and kept the Warhawks in the game until senior Josh Canova took over in the fifth inning.  Josh Canova was the winning pitcher.

Madison has  won back three of its titles and defeated Hermitage of the Central Region on Tuesday June 3 at Madison in the State Quarterfinals behind the strong pitching of  Josh Canova and the game winning two- run scoring hit of  Matt Riffee. The Warhawks returned to the State Semifinals in Colonial Heights.  The Warhawks lost to the new State Champions Great Bridge but showed they have a program that reloads by finishing as one of the top two teams in the state in 2003 after graduating 11 players from their 2002 State Championship team.  The Warhawks will reload again for 2004 and all but one of their returning players played for the Vienna Mustangs who finished in the top 8 of the National High School Championship Tournament in Louisville, KY during  July,2003.
