In a winner-take-all, three-hour marathon game on June 7 at Saint Mary's College, the Angels prevailed against the A's by the score of 18-12 to win the Moraga Baseball Association's Mustang Championship.
Down 10-5 with just three innings left to play, the Angels refused to give up against a well-coached and talented A's team. Chipping away at the lead, the Angels managed to tie the game 12-12, but the A's would get to hit in the bottom of the final regulation inning. The A's promptly loaded the bases with no outs and needed just a base hit, walk, or passed ball for a walk-off win.
The Angels held the A's scoreless with two strikeouts and a groundout. In the seventh inning the Angels erupted for six runs and then held off the A's in the bottom half for the victory.
