“WE’RE NOT DONE!” ⚾️💜💛
That phrase has been a common refrain during this amazing season, and the Cheverus Stags remained locked into their “never say die” mindset, as they battled back in extra innings to topple Sanford 3-2 with a thrilling, walk-off win in the Class A South Quarterfinals yesterday.
What’s more…just as the Stags were mounting their comeback late in the game, with collective energy seemingly reaching its peak at the plate, on the base paths and from the dugout, a rumble of thunder forced a mandatory 30-minute delay for safety reasons.
The rally, the energy, the buildup. All of it.
Stopped dead in its tracks…But, rules are rules…
More waiting, more parents pacing around, more praying, and more hoping that our boys would once again find a way…
When the teams returned to the field, the thunder had passed, but the Stags brought the lightning, as Grady Hughes knocked in Brady Blash, who safely slid into home plate under the tag, scoring the winning run.
After that…
Pandemonium.
Delirium!
Suddenly the air was filled with the sound of unabashed joy and frenetic screams, as the boys poured out of their dugout to congratulate their teammates on the base path, hats and gloves cast high above their heads as they rushed onto the field.
It was a beautiful moment, and a well-earned one, at that. 👍
Enjoy it, gentlemen. A matchup with Noble awaits tomorrow, and there’s still work to do…
Because we’re not done. ⚾️💜💛
