Ben Lippen baseball gets edge in championship series against Hilton Head Christian
By Lou Bezjak
Brian Larsen gave his team a little history lesson Wednesday.
The Ben Lippen baseball coach gathered his team in the outfield following the Falcons’ 5-1 win over Hilton Head Christian in Game 1 of the best-of-three SCISA Class 4A championship series.
Larsen pointed out this wasn’t the first time the Falcons were close to ending their program’s championship streak, which dates back to 2008. He talked about the 2019 team that won the series opener against Hammond only to lose the next two games.
Then there was the 2022 win that forced a deciding game against Laurence Manning, only to lose in Game 3.
Now, Larsen hopes his team can finish the job Thursday at Hilton Head Christian. If the Eagles win Game 2, a deciding game will be Friday in Orangeburg.
“We want to finish it for them (2019), for the 2018 team, for the 2022 team,” Larsen said. “Just a lot of people we are playing for. Not just ourselves but our community and those teams from the past that have just fallen short. We want to get it done for them.”
