In the bottom of the fifth inning, Lee Garris stepped up to the plate and launched a decisive home run that turned a 7‑6 deficit into an 8‑7 victory over Granby, securing the Region 5B title for Maury.
Garris, who had been battling back soreness, managed to take the field and deliver the clutch hit, a performance that underscored the team’s resilience.
