After multiple chances for West Jefferson to score in the eight inning, it seemed as if it was Grandview’s game to win. Ferguson’s day was done, so the Roughriders turned to Carter Harris who went recorded three quick outs pushing it to the ninth inning.

West Jefferson’s JD Miller started the inning off with a walk. Miller got into scoring position and Carter Harris drove a single into the outfield, which turned out to be the game-winning run.
