I just wish there were video from other angles.

The Moorpark HS team spent 10 min celebrating with teammates, flashing lights, dogpiles...and were told to go back to the bases. Focus and adrenalin was shot, and the defense knew they had an opportunity whether it be rightly or wrongly. Amazing 2nd and 3rd with no outs they couldn't get a run in.
