Herriman edges Syracuse 6-5 in eight innings to win the Class 6A softball championship

It isn’t often that a team can incur double-digit losses in the regular season, rebound and go unbeaten through the playoffs on its way to a Class 6A softball title.

The story of their season will tell a tale of resilience. And that resilience played itself out in Thursday afternoon’s 6-5 eight-inning win over Syracuse in the championship game.

Herriman was down to its final three outs in the bottom of the seventh inning. Then, the Mustangs received a solo blast from Libby Parkinson to force an extra frame. The Titans put runners on first and second base with nobody out in the top of the eighth.
