Defense betrays Mooresville

Going head to head against Rowan County, easily the best American Legion team in the Area III Southern Division, one thing the eighth-seeded Moors of Mooresville could not do was make simple mistakes.

Check out how Game 2 of the best-of-five series ended last night. Even if you don't follow American Legion ball, I think you'd be hard pressed to recall a weirder ending than this one.

A truly masterful, gutsy performance by rising junior Nick Lomascolo was indeed completely undone in the 60 seconds after he was removed. He did a great job, battling with a more experienced pitcher in Cy Young (yes, that's his name).

Anybody out there have a fond - or maybe not so fond - memory of a crazy ending to a sporting event?
