Zachary baseball team held its breath as it watched the season come down to a matter of feet.
With two outs in the bottom of the seventh and the tying run on second, Zachary senior PJ Cannon hit a high fly ball that pushed Ruston left fielder Cade Gibson to the warning track. If it’s over the fence, the Broncos win 5-4. If not, the season is over and Ruston wins 4-3 to advance in the Class 5A playoffs.
It’s short. Bearcats win.
