Desert Christian (Andy Morales/AllSportsTucson.com)
Andrew Edwards pumped his fists and yelled out when he crossed home plate to give Desert Christian a 9-6 lead in the bottom of the sixth. It was a rare display of emotion by the senior pitcher but highly understandable given the circumstances.
Edwards (11-0) collected 13 strikeouts to help the Eagles (31-1) defeat Kearny Ray 13-6 in the Division III state championship game Saturday night but he was pulled after the Bearcats (22-9-1) almost erased an 8-0 deficit with a six-run outburst in the top of the sixth.
“I was letting off steam, anger, happiness, joy and sadness,” Edwards explained. “It was very, very special to win this one.”
