The Guerin Catholic baseball team took to Victory Field with quiet confidence.
It's the type of confidence a team has when it knows it's done everything in its power to prepare for the moment ahead. It's the type of confidence that negates the fact that the Golden Eagles were playing in their first ever state **** le game, and the team in the opposite dugout, Andrean, was going for its state-record 10th championship.
The Golden Eagles wasted little time establishing that they were not only up to the moment, but they were ready to shine on the biggest stage in program history.
Given a three-run lead after the first half inning, senior starter Tate Troxell dominated the 59ers, striking out 12 and allowing just one run over six innings, leading Guerin to a 9-3 Class 3A state championship win.
