Congratulations to our varsity baseball team, which won the MAC regular season title, defeating Georgetown Day with a score of 11-0. The boys played extremely well on their Senior Day. While the Panthers have achieved seven baseball league titles, this is the first time since 1996 that Potomac has won the regular season title outright. The team beat Maret 4-3 in the MAC semi-finals and will play St. James in the finals.
