When Alex Pingree struck out the final two hitters in the fourth to leave runners stranded at second and third, the energy in the Santa Catalina dugout shifted like the earth.
Staring at a 2-0 deficit through three innings, the Cougars bats erupted for five runs in the fourth inning in capturing the programs first ever CCS Division III softball title.
Pingree's effort was gutty, considering she woke up Saturday morning with the flu.
But what else would you expect from a senior.
There was no way she was missing her final high school game on the biggest stage.
There was no way the Cougars were losing this game.
