The Madonna Blue Dons will play for a West Virginia Class A state baseball title thanks to a 13-3 win vs. Webster County Thursday morning in Charleston.

Blue Dons starting pitcher Jacob Lazear struck out 15 batters in 5.2 innings pitched, allowing 3 runs, 1 of those earned with 4 walks.

The game was scoreless into the bottom half of the 4th when the Blue Dons put five runs on the board. They added three each in the 5th and 6th innings to end the game due to the ten run mercy rule.

Senior David Connors led the offensive attack going 3-4 at the plate with 2 doubles and 3 runs scored. Sam Brooks and Reed Wilharm each drove in a pair of runs.

Madonna will take a 27-4 record into Saturday's 10 a.m. state title game at GoMart Ballpark in Charleston.

They will try to win the program's first state title since 2012.
