Boys Athlete of the Week: Ben Winter, Centennial, baseball

A returning All-Metro pitcher-outfielder, Winter started his senior year for the No. 3 Eagles impressively. The left-hander, who is headed to Towson University, pitched and batted his team to two wins and a tie (which will be finished later in the season) last week. He pitched a five-inning no-hitter with eight strikeouts to beat Atholton, 13-0, on Friday. In that game, Winter also had a double, triple and four RBIs to complete his week with five hits in 10 at-bats with eight RBIs. Earlier in the week, he led the Eagles to a 12-1 rout of Lackey and helped his team play Eastern Tech to a 4-4 tie in a game called because of darkness. Last season, Winter led the Eagles to the Class 3A state final.

Others considered // Harrison Chaires, Centennial, lacrosse; Travis Clark, Hammond, baseball; Jack Doyle, Gilman, lacrosse; Avi Friedman, Owings Mills, wrestling; Jason Patten, Archbishop Spalding, baseball; Woody Wlodarczyk, C. Milton Wright, baseball.
