STATE CHAMPS
-Continuedfrom PAGE ONE
The Glendale Pirates
boasted an impressive 23
wins in a row, with a sea
son record of 28-2 and an
average o f 15.6 runs per
game. Some teams may
have given up in the face
of a seemingly unstoppable
opponent, but not the Mus
tangs. While Bennett again
held the opposing team in
check, Heppner/Ione’s of
fense followed through to
make it 4-0 at the end of the
fourth inning.
“We had to get this,”
said junior catcher Maggie
Collins. “This is something
every body wanted, and we
weren’t going home with
out it.”
G lendale threatened
in the sixth and seventh
innings, but the Mustangs
held on to the lead, ending
the game at 4-2 for the 2012
state title.
