The third state tournament we had this past week was baseball. Canal Winchester was the only local team to make the state finals this year. Their semifinal game was far more exciting than the 6-0 loss in the finals two days later. After tying the game in the bottom of the seventh inning, Canal went on to win it on a walk-off single in the bottom of the eighth. After the player hit home plate, and the ump finally got out of my way, this was the image I ended up with.
