Baseball Heartbreaker
The boys baseball team had their season come to a close in a heartbreaking extra-inning wildcard game. The team made the trip out to Grunuthal to play the game (only dry field around!) and after struggling to keep up with the home team they managed to climb back from 4 runs down in the final inning to tie the game up and send it to extra innings.
After a pitching duel for 3 innings where there were very few hits allowed, the Royals managed to get a runner on base and were able to advance him home for a one run lead. It wasn't enough however as Grunthal had a few big hits right after that and were able to drive home the winning run after a double was hit up the left field line.
Good work this season guys, we were so close! Thanks to the players who are graduating for three years of dedication to the program.
