Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Yreka walked away with it. They came out on top in a nail-biter against the Orland Trojans on Tuesday, sneaking past 2-1. This was payback for the Miners, who suffered a 10-6 defeat the last time these two teams met.
Brody Zediker spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on five hits and racked up seven Ks. He has become a key player for Yreka: the team is 5-2 when he allows at most two earned runs, but 6-11 otherwise.
At the plate, Yreka's victory was truly a team effort as four different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Gabe Gregg, who went 1-for-4 with one run and one double.
