 in the lineup basically since they were freshmen, and this was kind of the last thing that was eluding them. So I'm excited for them to get down to Cedar Rapids and get a chance to play in the state tournament. The Crusaders have taken an entertaining and nail-biting path to the Class 3A state tournament. They had a pair of walk-off extra inning postseason wins, beating Lamar's in a sub-state semifinal on Monday night, and then Sgt. Bluff-Luton in a sub-state final on Wednesday night. I don't know that we've ever won a ballgame where we've had as many walks as we did last night watching the batters.
