Rocket Baseball Heads to STATE
Coming into Regionals as a 7 seed, there were many people that doubted the Rockets chances at a state bid. However, the team was determined to prove critics and doubters wrong as they shut out Augusta 8-0 in the semi-final game led by Sophmore Garrett Mitchell on the mound. With a win over the Orioles, the Rockets would be set up against the number one seeded Andover Central Jaguars, who had only 1 loss on the season and were state ranked number 1 in 4A. With the score tied 4-4 most of the game, the road to state was within reach. Senior Chase Ozbun came up big with a two-run double for the go ahead runs. Junior Zack Kretsch has been a phenomenal pitcher for the Rockets in the post season, and the field had to step up its performance as well. Holding off the Jags until the final inning, the Rockets captured a shocking win over Andover Central 6-5 and are headed to the 4A state tournament. GO ROCKETS! |
