It was a tension-filled game.
Wednesday the NDA baseball team defeated New London for the regional championship and a chance to continue their journey toward the state playoffs.
A pitching duel and standout defensive play led to a scoreless game after seven innings.
In the bottom of the ninth senior Brady LaViolette drove in the lone run of the game with a line drive shot to left field. The NDA bench rushed the field, Triton fans erupted in exultation and Athletic Director Matt Koenig presented the regional plaque to the celebrating team.
