After a win against two other teams, the team went up against the host Coldwater for the championship. In the sixth inning, the game was tied 8-8 with junior Jarett White pitching.<br \/>\n\u201cIt was a pretty even game. It got intense,\u201d White said. \u201cWe were all exhausted and had made some errors earlier in the game.\u201d<br \/>\nDespite their exhaustion and the chilly temperature, the boys pulled through with a 10-8 win.<br \/>\nLater in the season, they continued to win and finished the Best of the Best tournament with a win where they beat St. Joe, the number one team in the state.<br \/>\n\u201cThat tournament was a great day of baseball,\u201d senior Nicholas Miller said. \u201cWe took on St. Claire after the win against St. Joe with a lot of momentum.\u201d<br \/>\nThe momentum pushed them all the way to the victory against St. Claire, winning the tournament and ranking them fourth in the state.<br \/>\n\u201cWe\u2019ve worked really hard,\u201d White said, \u201cand we will do our best to show how hard we have been working.
