Johnston HS (IA) SS Logan Ryan went behind-the-back for the putout to 2B Sergio Alaniz today

Johnston High School (HS!) shortstop Logan Ryan and Second Baseman Sergio Alaniz combine to make a great play on a ground ball during Iowa Class 4A semifinals. And for just the second time since the state baseball tournament moved to Principal Park in 2005, an eight seed has defeated a one seed.



The Johnston Dragons defeated the top-seeded Waukee Warriors, 8-3. Think that was sweet? Fresno (Giants Triple-A) Grizzlies' second baseman Brandon Hicks flipped the ball around his back to shortstop Ydwin Villegas ... who bare handed it and completed a double play.
