6A Baseball State Champions - Owyhee Storm 🌪️
Owyhee takes down Eagle 9-4 on Saturday afternoon to win the program’s 4th State Championship in 5 years 🏆🏆🏆🏆
This game was worthy of a championship. The two undisputed best teams in the state battled for 7 innings, and the game had pretty much everything. A fan ejection, a home run, clutch hits, and some questionable calls made for a great game with plenty of drama.
Owyhee jumped out to an early 6-0 lead through 3 innings thanks to hits from Nathan Keith, Shelby Pease, and Jack Booth paired with a couple of Eagle errors.
A Kristian Fusco 2-run home run and an Easton Gothberg 2-run double put the Mustangs right back in this one. Owyhee was up 8-4 in the 5th, and Eagle had the bases loaded with only 1 out in the inning. But Nathan Keith, aka The Boogeyman, came in and got the Storm out of the jam. In all of my Owyhee games covered this season, I never saw Keith give up a single run when on the mound ☠️⚰️🪦
The Storm added an insurance run in the 6th, then Keith closed out the game. Owyhee caps off an undefeated State Regional/Championship Series run with a 4th State Title in 5 years. To go along with their back-to-back district championships of course. In their State run, the Storm outscored their five opponents 44-12 😳
