The #1 seeded Trojans took on the #4 seeded Cascade Cougars as they turned to Easton Cox to get the start on the mound. Pleasantville would add two more runs in the fifth to take an 8-2 lead after an error and a Luke Vestal RBI double. I know I have a great defense behind me so if we just played a team game I knew we were going to come out on top.” Pleasantville will now take on Durant tonight in the state championship game at 2:30 pm which can be heard live on 95.3 KNIA with pregame starting at 2:15.
