by Eric Meany
Sherwood rode the pitching of Meggie Dejter and the offense of first baseman Megan McDonough to victory over Glen Burnie.
COLLEGE PARK, Md. — A year after capturing its fist state title in a tense one-run battle with Chesapeake under the lights at Robert E. Taylor Stadium, the Sherwood High School softball team returned to College Park on Saturday. This time, with the sun shining brightly on a beautiful spring afternoon, the Warriors scored three first-inning runs on their way to a slightly less stressful 5-0 victory over Glen Burnie to give the team its second consecutive MPSSAA Class 4A state championship.
Junior Meggie Dejter struck out 10, walked one and allowed four hits in seven innings to pitch a championship-game shutout for the second year in a row. Senior first baseman Megan McDonough had a double, a triple and three runs batted in while shortstop Nicole Stockinger scored three runs and knocked in another to lead the Warriors offense.

It didn’t last.
Broadneck scored 12 unanswered goals in a span of 14 minutes on its way to a 15-3 halftime lead, then cruised through the second half to capture a 21-5 win and the third state championship in team history.
