The Midwest Central Raiders are headed to the regional semifinal after a dramatic 4-3 walkoff victory over Streator Woodland on Monday afternoon!
Trailing 3-1 entering the bottom of the seventh inning, the Raiders were down to their final outs before the offense came alive when it mattered most. Breckin Guy started the rally with a single, and Evan Schmidt followed with a clutch double to put runners on second and third with no outs.
After a strikeout, Zayne Hill came through in the biggest moment of the game, delivering a clutch RBI hit to tie the game at 3-3 and send the Raiders dugout into a frenzy.
But Midwest Central wasn’t finished.
With two outs and the winning run on base, Jaxon Tumilty stepped to the plate and delivered the game-winning hit, scoring Hill and sealing the Raiders’ incredible walkoff comeback to advance.
Tumilty led the way offensively, going 2-for-4 with a double and 2 RBI.
On the mound, Ryan Terrill shut the door for the Raiders, earning the win after tossing three scoreless innings, allowing no hits while striking out three. Dalton Johnson kept Midwest Central within striking distance early, throwing four innings and allowing just one earned run while scattering five hits and striking out two.
With the thrilling win, the Raiders now advance to the regional semifinal where they will face Lexington on Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. at Roanoke-Benson.
