On the same mound where teammate Kole Laubach had thrown a perfect game a year ago, Brock Ketelsen put together the best start of his Valley Christian career, striking out 10 and allowing just two baserunners.

But instead of getting mobbed by his teammates, it was the jubilant St. Ignatius Wildcats chasing DJ Delaney around the infield after rallying to tie the game in the seventh and walking off in the eighth, 2-1.
