District 12 champion Sunnyside forced a deciding game with its win over Cactus Foothills on Wednesday but fell just short on Thursday in the state title game.
Sunnyside’s run in the AZ LL Majors state tourney ended with emotionally tough walk-off loss to Cactus Foothills, but symbolic of the Sunnyside community, the players & families became stronger together from the experience well into the night. The story: https://t.co/dRKfNSelTh
