A state final game in Vermont over the weekend saw a total swing of emotions. Mount Abraham thought it had defeated Middlebury on a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the seventh.
However, the batter failed to touch first before starting to celebrate and it caused a rules ruckus.
"This team needed a miracle and we got one," Middlebury pitcher Tucker orter said. "That just goes to show the fight that we have because we got that chance and we capitalized on it."
