Jordan Monroe's walk-off single lifted the Class B No. 2 Norris baseball team to an 8-7 win against top-ranked Elkhorn North on Monday in Firth.
That the game came down to the seventh inning was a surprise. The Titans raced out to a 7-1 lead after three-run rallies in the second and third innings. The Wolves, however, made sure the battle of the class frontrunners delivered on the hype.
After scoring three in fourth, Elkhorn North tied the game on Kyle Ferry's two-run home run in the sixth.
Norris' Collier Hestermann started the seventh with a double and then pinch-runner Carter Ibsen moved to third base on a wild pitch. Monroe then hit a chopping ball for a single and the win.
