Park City’s Ryan Brady and Desert Hills’ Drew Thorpe went pitch for pitch on Saturday afternoon in the second round of the UHSAA 3A state tournament at Park City High School, starting with the opening pitch. In the first inning, Brady didn’t give up a hit. Neither did Thorpe. Though the back-and-forth pattern didn’t exactly play out the rest of the way, the two pitchers were in control for most of the game. In the end, Brady, who has thrown a no-hitter before this season, pitched the best game he has all year, Head Coach Dave Feasler said. Brady went on to strike out nine while going the distance in Park City’s thrilling 1-0 win over Desert Hills. “[Brady] had command of the breaking ball and had command of the fastball,” Feasler elaborated. “He mostly pitched outside and off the plate the entire day. Nobody did anything against him. He mixed up speeds very well.” As good as the pitchers were on Saturday, though, the game came down to the bat of Park City’s Zack Luna. The senior second baseman was up to bat with two outs in the bottom seventh, and with a full count and a man on third, the pressure was on. Thorpe fired a ball toward the strike zone in hopes of sending the game to extra innings, but Luna had other plans. Barely getting his bat around in time on a surprising breaking ball, Luna made just enough contact with Thorpe’s pitch TANZI PROPST/PARK RECORD Park City High School sophomore Van Rabe (16) passes over home plate on a walk-off single during the bottom of the seventh inning of the game against Desert Hills on Saturday afternoon. The Miners beat the Thunder 1-0, advancing them to the quarterfinals. to send the ball to the right side of the infield. He sprinted toward first base, and once he saw the right fielder mishandle the grounder, Luna cracked a smile as Van Rabe, the runner on third, crossed the plate. “A million thoughts were going through my head,” Luna said of the mo- ment. “It was just a dream-come-true situation you dream about as a kid. I just really wanted to get the job done for the team.” His teammates, emotional and elated, all ran out of the dugout to form a dogpile on Luna in the confines of their home field for the last time this season, and for some, their careers. “I turned around and [my teammates] were all there,” Luna said after he rounded first base. “[My team has] worked so hard all year.
