COLUMBUS -- Walsh Jesuit completed a stellar season in dominating fashion, shutting out Canal Winchester, 6-0, to win the Div. II state championship Saturday morning.

Senior lefty David Starn went the distance, striking out nine, and six different players drove in the Warriors' runs.

Walsh was steady and efficient -- hallmarks of a program that's now won three state titles since 1999 -- in just about every aspect of the game. The Warriors manufactured runs, gunned down lead runners and escaped two bases-loaded jams to preserve the shutout.

Sophomore Johnny Fasola and junior Matt Keller had two hits apiece for a young Walsh team that finished 26-3 and might be even better the next two seasons. The Warriors' only losses were to Div. I state finalists St. Ignatius and St. Edward.

They jumped on Canal Winchester (22-13) with two runs in the first inning and two more in the second. Ross Brunello's RBI double started the scoring, and Ryan Berry knocked in Brunello later in the first.

Berry and Joe Pawlowski delivered RBI singles in the second.

The Indians loaded the bases with two outs in the third but couldn't convert, then started the fourth with two baserunners before Walsh picked off Wes White in a rundown and Starn struck out the final two batters of the inning.
