LOS GATOS – Top-seeded Leigh was down to its last at-bat and facing elimination.
The Longhorns, trailing by two runs in the bottom of the seventh, loaded the bases with nobody out against Westmont ace Mason Pound. After retiring Leigh standout and league MVP Ollie Obenour on a force out at the plate, Pound walked Carter Williams to force in a run. Then Lance Takamura stepped to the plate and lined a base hit to left-center. Two runs scored to give Leigh a 4-3 victory and the celebration began.
