FORT MYERS — Often when a team playing for its first state baseball championship is playing a foe that has won 11 state titles in the past 40 years, it’s would be the squad with less state tourney experience that crumbles at some point.
The First Academy of Orlando capped a 30-1 season with a 3-0 victory over tradition-rich Miami Westminster Christian in the FHSAA Class 3A state final at Hammond Stadium.
After threatening throughout the game, the Royals scored three times in the top of the seventh inning as it took advantage of Westminster Christian’s generosity.
