Lincoln Pius X defeated Norris for the second time in the Class B state tournament, picking up a 2-1 victory and the title Thursday night at Haymarket Park.

Pius X grabbed a 2-0 lead thanks to a couple of walks and wild pitches in the third inning. The Thunderbolts drew walks from Norris starter Byron Hood to start the inning. Relief pitcher Jackson Reetz picked up a strikeout, but a wild pitch advanced the runners to second and third. A groundout scored the first run and a second wild pitch scored the next.

Norris made it a one run ballgame in the fourth when Hood led off with a double and scored on a Jake Peterson single.
