The pitchers duel between Eldorado’s Max Kasiar and Benton’s Zach Avery was everything fans were hoping for during Wednesday’s IHSA Class 2A Regional semifinal at Harrisburg’s Jay Thompson Field.

Holding a 2-1 lead through four innings, Benton, the No. 1 seed, couldn’t seem to put Eldorado away.

And then the fifth inning happened.

The Rangers (27-6) put up seven runs, blowing the game open and walking out with an 11-3 win over Eldorado (7-18), putting themselves in Saturday’s championship game.
