What a day for Vinny Stubitsch.<\/p>\n
The junior second baseman went 3-for-4 with two runs and three RBIs Saturday as St. Rita won the Class 3A baseball state championship with an 12-11 victory in extra innings over Troy Triad.<\/p>\n
Stubitsch hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the first inning for St. Rita (30-12), which trailed 2-0 but came right back by scoring five runs for a 5-2 lead on the way to the program\u2019s first state title.<\/p>\n
The Mustangs, who finished second in 2009, 2010 and 2014, actually jumped to an 11-4 lead with two runs in the fourth inning and four runs in the fifth at Slammers Stadium in Joliet.<\/p>\n
Troy Triad (36-6) rallied with three runs in the top of the sixth and then four more in the top of the seventh that featured a controversial call to force an 11-11 tie and extra innings.<\/p>\n
In the bottom of the eighth, however, Stubitsch hit a sacrifice fly to foul territory with the bases loaded to score JJ Quinlan and start the celebration the Mustangs for a second time.<\/p>\n
Julio Gutierrez also had three hits with two RBIs for St. Rita, while Jayden Ibarra and Jake Sellis added two hits. Ibarra added two RBIs and Joe Camer scored twice.<\/p>\n
