Fayetteville Advances to Baseball Title Game

The Fayetteville Lions clinched a berth in the 1A state baseball title game by beating Nazareth 4-0 Wednesday at Dell Diamond in Round Rock. The young Lions (18-9), who are mostly freshmen and sophomores, were set to play Thursday at 9 a.m. for the title against Kennard (14-5). Right, Fayetteville’s Landon Urban and Aiden Wicke jump for joy in the outfield after Urban caught the final out of Wednesday’s state semifinal victory. Below, the Fayetteville fans make Dell Diamond a home away from home. The Lions have been to state four times in the last decade, but haven’t won it all since 2012.
