"We played three games," said winning coach Leo Gravell with a weary laugh.
Right he was as his Windham squad beat Spaulding, 7-6, in 17 innings.
In the bottom of the 17th, Owen Larouco reached on a lead-off infield single to the shortstop deep in the hole. Keegan Parke then walked. With one out, Windham executed a double steal. With two outs, they scored the winner on a wild pitch.
The relief pitching was sensational. For Windham, Charlie Breen went 9.1 innings of scoreless relief. He gave up three hits, no runs, 10 strikeouts and two walks. Then Joey Blair threw three innings of 1-hit, shutout relief. Braydan Decotis gave up no hits in the top of the 17th to earn the win.
Gravell said, "We can withstand a game like that better than most because we have 5-6 guys who can throw strikes."
Larouco was also the defensive star at second base. He made "3-4 plays to preserve the tie," said Gravell.
Josh Scammon was the hard-luck loser. All he did was pitch 10 innings of 4-hit relief with his only run the unearned game-winner.
