Marian High School (Omaha, Neb.) softball channeled its inner Benny The Jet Rodriguez in its comeback championship victory on Friday — the 4-3 win was walked-off by successfully escaping a pickle.
After entering the bottom of the seventh inning trailing 3-1, Marian put two runs on the board to tie the game and had the potential game-winning runner on first base. Though there were two outs in the inning, the batter laid down a bunt.
The throw to first from the third baseman went awry. Maddia Groff, who was the runner on first to start the play, continued past second, through third base and headed home.
