MORGANTOWN, W.Va. Bridgeport Post 68 had everything going its way through six innings of Wednesday’s matchup with Rockport (Ind.) Post 254 in an American Legion Great Lakes Regional Tournament matchup at Dale Miller Field.
The seventh inning, however, couldn’t have gone any worse.
West Virginia’s state champion allowed eight runs in the top of the seventh inning, including a run-scoring single off the bat of Jackson Raaf that broke a tie and sent Indiana’s state champion to an 11-10 victory.
