From Coach Tyler Browning: SECTIONAL CHAMPS!!!
Golden Aces defeat Nashville by the score of 3-2 in extra innings to claim the 2A Sectional title. What a game, what a crowd, what an atmosphere!! Thank you to everyone who continues to show out and make this run even more special!
Banks threw his normal awesome game on the mound and the Aces battled back from down 2-0 to take the game to extras. Coston drove home the winning run in the bottom of the 8th with a single to right field to seal the Sectional victory! Browning, Gillihan, Coston all had multi-hit games for the Aces, and we were stellar defensively once again!
On to the Super Sectional this Monday at 2:00 p.m. at SIU-Carbondale. The Aces will take on Effingham St. Anthony who is the #1 team in class 2A, for a chance at a berth in the State tournament.
