Coach Bryan Harman has seen a lot of baseball during his time at Westminster (10 years), and Liberty (12 years) before that. So there were no surprises for him when he saw the seedings for the top four 4A Regional seeds -- undefeated Sherwood (16-0) in the west, Eleanor Roosevelt in the south, Chesapeake-AA in the east and his own undefeated Owls (18-0) in the north.

But that's not to say he hasn't been somewhat startled by his own team. He thought the Owls would be good. "I thought maybe 14-4 or 15-3 at the start of the year, because you know there is always going to a slip-up somewhere along the line," he said.

But there haven't been missteps so far this season. Harman said the reason is that his team has been strong in all three aspects of the game.

Led by three seniors -- pitcher Brandon Taylor (6-0, 0.40 ERA), shortstop Brandon Nelson (.500) and catcher Cody Harman (.478) -- the Owls have made only 21 errors in 18 games, produced a team ERA of 1.40 and a team batting average of .394.

"We've had a really good frame of mind," Harman said. "We've come ready to play every day. But now it gets much harder. Now, it only takes one game and it is all over."

The Owls play their first postseason game Monday at home against the winner of Friday's first-round game between Woodlawn and Southwestern at 4 p.m.
