Neither heat, lightning, nor time could stop the Central Columbus Angels Sunday in a nine-inning thriller in Ruston, La., as they came back from 3-0 to win 4-3.
It was a pitcher’s duel with heat in the high 90’s and a 0-0 score going into the ninth. A lightning delay held up the game for an hour.
South Carolina went up 3-0 in the top of the ninth and the Angels needed a miracle. The Angels scored three in the bottom of the ninth and with the bases loaded. Gracie Rhodes scored the winning run with a game winning walk RBI from Gigi Williamson for the 4-3 win. They remain undefeated in World Series tournament play.
