The Manassas area high school baseball teams had a full slate of games this week. Osbourn and Osbourn Park each played three games, while Stonewall played two.

The Eagles were able to continue their winning ways in the second game of the week. It was a contest against Battlefield, who has become somewhat of a rival for the Manassas-area teams. Osbourn again swung the bats fairly well while also playing good defense behind a solid pitching performance. When it was all said and done, the Eagles beat the Bobcats 6-2.
The Eagles finally began to wear down by the third and final game and Broad Run beat the Osbourn, 6-0. Osbourn couldn't get the bats going and it seemed as though fatigue started to set in as a result of playing three games in five days. It was a good week for the Eagles and they improved their record to 10-7 overall, 5-3 in the district.

The Osbourn Park Yellow Jackets got off to a good start for the week as they beat district rival, Woodbridge, 10-7. Osbourn Park used their bats, which have been good all season, to propel them to victory.

Both losses hurt, but the second one was a district game. After going 1-2 on the week, Osbourn park is now sitting at 12-6 overall, 7-3 in the district.
The Stonewall Raiders played two games during the week and neither game turned out well. In the first game, Stonewall struggled offensively and defensively on their way to a 10-0 loss against Broad Run.
The Raiders were hoping to bounce back in their second game against district rival, Patriot. Unfortunately, Stonewall continued to struggle offensively as they were held scoreless for the second straight game. Patriot topped the Raiders 3-0. After the two losses, Stonewall is now 7-11 overall, 2-6 in the district.
