It's cle ja vufor the Cowley baseball team after winning its second consecutive national title.From page 30San Jacinto whipped Indian Hills10-2 in the elimination game to set up a rematch of the first gameof the series. Cowley came from behind in the game and won 15-11.McMillen was named the tournament's MVP, while freshman Aaron Robbins of Derby earned the BigStick Award with a tournament-leading .556 batting average.McMillen, Robbins, Eckstein, and freshman outfielder Jeff Freeman from Gladewater, Texas, werenamed to the All-Tournament Team. Freeman hit three home runs and drove in nine while scoring 10 runsin the series. One of his homers traveled 520 feet, hitting the top of a Ford Explorer parked far beyond theoutfield fence.Burroughs, who earned his second set of golf clubs for the victory, said the second title was more satisfying."It's sweeter this time around, probably because we were so young," he said. "There's been so muchpressure on these kids this season. Now we're just going to go back to work and try to three-peat."San Jacinto is the only team to have accomplished that feat in the last 13 years, winning the title in1985, 1986, and 1987. The Gators won back-to-back titles two years later, in 1989 and 1990. MesaCommunity College of Arizona is the only other school to win three consecutive titles, winning in 1970,1971, and 1972.%
