 They were in the same spot just a year ago. The Pierce baseball team one win away from trip to Target Field last year. They lost to eventual champ Mini ha ha. Can they rewrite the script a year later standing in their way though? Duluth Marshall, let's head to Saint Cloud for the Class 2A semi final. This one of pitchers dual throughout. Matt Todges was just rolling, gets the punch out here swinging. We're scoreless early than big play here in the fourth runner on, but this is as smooth as it gets. 643 double ploy by the pioneers. Still nothing, nothing than top of seven. Hilltoppers bases loaded, but Tao just works out of it. Groundout to third ending over. Pierce with a chance to win two outs. Bottom 7th runner on second. Tao just hitting that gets down and right. Runner comes home to score a walkoff. Winner one nothing. Pierce is heading the state championship game for the first time in school history. Asked the baddie, gave me curveball start off, so I was sitting curve and it was low, so I didn't want to swing at that and I was oh oh one oh. Slend, I was hoping for fastball and he grouped me on right where I wanted it. That's crazy. I mean, last year, lost to Mini ha a chance to go there and now to be playing Mini ha there. We've been looking for a rematch from them ever since. And one nothing, the final. They play Mini ha ha Monday at Target Field at one o'clock for the title.
