Written by: Don King

Warriors win marathon 11 inning game over Miller Grove 6 to 3 to clinch State Tournament berth for the first time in school history. Congratulations to the entire Warrior nation! Wells King and Harrison McClure combine for 20 strikeouts.

Tension filled the air with the score tied 3 to 3 as Will Johnson led off the top of the 9th inning with an infield single. McClure walked. Johnson and McClure moved up on a sacrifice fly by Jackson Echols, but the Warriors could not get a run across. McClure took the mound and struck out one and got two Wolverines to fly out to Devin Walden (LF) and Matthew Church (RF).

Miller Grove turned a double play to quash any chance the Warriors had of scoring in the top of the 10th. McClure struck out the side in the bottom of the frame to send the game to the 11th.

Wells King led off the Warriors with a walk. Will Johnson singled to move King to 3B. Johnson stole 2B to give the Warriors 2nd and 3rd with 1 out. Jackson Echols walked to load the bases. Clutch hitting, Campbell Toye, singled to score King and Johnson. Jake Johnston singled to score Echols to make it 6 to 3. McClure stayed dominant throwing a fly ball to Walden. The second Wolverine went down looking. The last hope for Miller Grove was dashed on a comebacker to McClure who flipped to Toye at 1B for the win.

Record 17 and 4.
