After pre-game rain nearly led to a postponement, Kentucky's high school baseball state championship not only happened as scheduled but in fact produced an instant classic.
And it ended with Trinity (Louisville) knocking off reigning champion Pleasure Ridge Park 2-1 in nine innings for its second KHSAA baseball crown.
Trinity's Grayson Willoughby, a junior Kentucky commit, and PRP's Grayson Roll traded shutouts through seven innings. After extra innings began with the game still scoreless at 0-0, both hurlers got active with the bat as well.
PRP opened the scoring when Roll drove home Brayden Bruner with a two-out single in the top of the eighth.

But the Shamrocks tied it up in dramatic fashion in the bottom of the inning as Nolan Hosking hit a solo shot with two outs.
Wow.

Trinity relief pitcher Colin Sander held Pleasure Ridge Park scoreless in the top of the ninth before his team walked it off in the bottom of the frame. Willoughby got it started with a single and stole second, and came around to score on a base hit from Caleb Ricks.
