OH State Senator Cliff Hite (R-Findlay) recognized the Defiance boys baseball team for winning the 2015 Division II State Championship.
Defiance High School defeated Poland Seminary 5-3 to capture the school’s third state title. Several of the student athletes recognized were also a part of the 2015 Division II State Basketball Championship team that visited the Statehouse in April.
“Following an incredible 28-5 season, these boys deserved to finish the year as state champions,” said Hite. “This title continues the school’s tradition of excellence in baseball and I look forward to following the success of this team next year.”
Defiance High School also won state baseball titles in 2013 and 1992. The high school has produced nine Major League Baseball draft picks.
