Nick Biddison '18 delivered a walk-off two-run homer in the bottom of the seventh inning to put St. Christopher's in Monday's state VISAA title game versus Norfolk Academy at 6 pm.
Thomas Caravati '18 had singled to reach first base, and with two outs, Collegiate took its chances with the Virginia Tech pledge.
A similar situation happened in a regular-season matchup, and the Cougars walked Biddison to get to Donovan Murphy '18. Murphy homered that day.
This time, Biddison homered.
"That last at-bat, of course I'm amped up," Biddison said. "The pitch was pretty high. I was thinking fastball, and I got a high fastball and luckily I just went up and got it."
