Click here to read the May 26 Rome News-Tribune article about Darlington's loss to Wesleyan in Game 2 of the Class AA state baseball championship on Memorial Day, falling 11-5. The Tigers held out to the very end in the first and second games, but could not take the lead over the Wolves. 

The Tigers ended the season as the state runner-up, a finish eclipsed only by the team's Class AA state title win in 1984.

Darlington lost 6-4 in the first game of the state championship to Wesleyan on Saturday.

“We’ve got a group that battles and has great determination,” said Kent Harrison ('01, LD '15), Darlington's head baseball coach. “In this series, we ran into a tougher opponent and we weren’t able to get the job done, but I was proud to see them continue to fight. We’ve got some great players on this team.”
