ALTOONA - Aidan Major's one-hitter, combined with Central Mountain's ability to push runs across the plate gave the Wildcats a 10-0 victory over Hollidaysburg Tuesday in the District 6 5A title game.
"We had a rough start to the year. We kept doing what we do--working hard every day--trusting the process, it's a great group of guys," CM coach Mike Kramer said. "We stayed with it and trusted the process. I love this group; we're excited to play baseball and looking forward to the next opportunity to do so."
The Wildcats struck quick and never turned back during Tuesday's win. CM led the Golden Tigers, 3-0, after two innings of play. Cayde McCloskey paced the Wildcats with a game-high two hits. Aside from the third, the Wildcats scored in each of their five at-bats.
"I still can't put it into words. It will take me the rest of the day to put it into words," an emotional Major said after his team's victory. "This is great for our not just the Central Mountain baseball team but all the seniors that come out every day and work, I am so glad we were able to get this win."
The shutout victory propelled the Wildcats into the PIAA state tournament.
