Holy cow! Great Caesar’s Ghost!! What a game!!!

Norco leads Santiago, 6-4, heading into the top of the seventh,

Can the Cougars hang on and win their fourth CIF-SS championship? Can Santiago pull off another amazing comeback and win a fifth CIF-SS title? How good is “Prometheus” going to be? And what about “The Amazing Spider-Man”? Can that dude from “Social Network” pull off being Spidey> I need answers to these questions.

Erin Rodriguez with a 1-2-3 inning to retire the Cougars in order.

This is it. Santiago is down to its final three outs. E-Rod, Texas-bound Randel Leahy and Danielle Hernandez coming up for the Sharks.

E-Rod singles to right field to lead off the inning. Sharks fans are going bonkers. Norco fans are sensing a disturbance in The Force.

Lauren Sweet hit a walk-off grand slam to give Santiago a 4-1 victory over Canyon in last-year’s finals.

Leahy almost gets a single through the right side of the infield, but Ashley Goodwin robbed her of a hit with a fine play. E-Rod moves to second. One down.

Hernandez grounds out. Two down.

This could be it.

Lockman gets Yvon Minogue to line out to end the game.

Norco hangs on to beat Santiago, 6-4, to claim the Division 1, state and national titles.
