Hall High School’s baseball team pulled off one of the most remarkable comebacks in recent memory, erasing a seven‑run deficit to beat Southington 8‑7 and capture the school’s first ever CCC baseball championship.
A comeback for the ages
The Titans fell behind early, but a surge of determination sparked a turnaround that saw them score eight unanswered runs over the next few innings.
Matt LaBreck, who entered the game in relief, tossed 3 ⅔ innings of spotless baseball, preserving the lead and shifting momentum.
Josh Gertner delivered the decisive blow, lining a two‑run single in the fifth that put Hall ahead for the first time.
Head coach Nick Sanford praised his squad’s belief, noting that the team’s resilience had been evident all season and that the victory was a testament to their collective grit.
The win caps a whirlwind tournament run that began with a comeback over Farmington and a victory against East Catholic, setting up a showdown with the top‑seeded Southington squad.
