Zeke Roop catches the ball and applies the tag for the final out of the game, propelling the Sandpoint Majors to the district championship against Lewiston starting today, and the right to advance to Boise for the state championship. “This is the play that makes one team scream with joy and the other want to cry in defeat,” said assistant coach Tony Butler, whose team nearly blew a six run lead. “Heart attack for coaches averted successfully.” Augie Lehman faced 21 batters and struck out four with zero walks, Collin Roos had two hits and three RBIs and the team has been playing strong defense and running the bases aggressively. “Once we get a runner on base we have some kids who can flat out run and will make the defense pay for any slight hesitation,” said Butler.
