Crunch time heroics: DeBoard’s clutch hit powers The King’s Academy to CCS D-II baseball title

SAN JOSE – With the lights at their brightest and the stakes at their highest late on Friday night, Sean DeBoard rose to the occasion during Central Coast Section Division II title game’s seventh inning and delivered the biggest hit of The King’s Academy’s season. 

With two outs on the top of the seventh-inning scoreboard and the bases loaded, DeBoard unloaded on the first pitch he saw, mashing the ball into center field on a line drive and driving in two runs to give TKA a 4-2 lead it would not relinquish.
