Heck of a game

 

 

It really was a heckuva game. When McCracken County scored in the top of the ninth on that line drive double where fielder fell, and a single their side exploded! You really thought all the momentum was in their favor. In the bottom of the ninth they retire the first hitter on the fly out to right, fans for McCracken explode again and you think well it's meant to be.

 

Then St. X rattles off four consecutive hits to win it.

 

Both teams played well and left it on the field.

Congrats to St. Xavier. It was a great game!! Thanks for a memorable season Mustangs, we are proud of you guys.

 

Two interesting side notes:

-remembering our friend Joey Fosko on game day - June 17 (the day of his birth & passing)

-the young man who had the game winning pinch hit has direct ties to the McCracken County area (that baseball blood runs deep). Congrats to him & all his family.
