Menchville pours it on early to beat Hanover in state AAA title game  06/08/09 12:01 AM

CHANTILLY—The first out of the state Group AAA championship baseball game came easily enough for starting pitcher Tyler Kane and the Hanover High Hawks: a sharp grounder to second base. The second out wasn’t so easy. Menchville scored five runs before reliever Justin Thorn came in and got a strikeout. A groundout finally ended the inning, but the first-inning blitz and Monarchs pitcher Ethan Carter proved too much to overcome as Hanover settled for the runner-up trophy after a 7-1 loss to Menchville of Newsport News yesterday at Westfield High.
