What led to this upset by Whitefield over the #1 team in the state? Details please.

Male scored 2 each in the bottom of 2nd and 3rd to take a 4-0 lead, but would not tally another hit. WA responded with a run in the 4th, then Freshman pitcher Cameron Brussell (pushing 5'2") came in and kept the Bulldogs off-balance, using just over 20 pitches to get through the next three innings. Whitefield took the lead in the 5th on 4 runs, the big shot being a bases loaded double by soph. Nathan Getzin, which drove in two runs. In the bottom of the 7th, Brussell lost his control and hit the first two batters. Senior Cameron Smith returned to the mound after starting the game, to strike out the first batter he faced. With one out and two on, Male base runners tried to advance on a ball in the dirt, but Junior catcher Dakota Draper made a perfect throw to third for the second out. Smith then struck out Male's lead-off hitter on a called third strike to close the door.

 

Not a very good day for Male as they also dropped a 3-1 decision to DeSales later last night.
