Down to their last out in the 3A state baseball championship and trailing 4-2, the Mount Si Wildcats pounced on fielding lapses to score three runs and clinch the state title.
Shorewood took the lead on a two-run home run by third baseman Max Jacobs. The Thunderbirds looked to be on their way to a state title behind Henry McAree’s pitching.
But with two outs in the seventh, the Wildcats’ Dustin Breshears reached first with two outs on a fielder’s choice. Robb Lane singled to right field, where a fielding mishap let the runners advance to second and third.
