LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Little Rock Christian may win future baseball state championships, but the 2023 Warriors will always be the first.
On Saturday night in the 5A state final, LRCA rewrote the history books in extras. With bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th, Cade Bowman hit a walk-off single to topple Valley View 4-3 and earn the program's first state title.
"Just surreal," head coach Brandon Eller said afterwards. "To be honest it still doesn't feel real. That was a huge hit."
"Our coach always talks about getting to the dogpile after the state championship," Cade, brother of UCA shortstop Reid Bowman said. "We've been talking about this all year and to go out and do it is just incredible."
