Champlin Park's very good baseball season was on the brink Monday night at CHS Field in St. Paul.
The Rebels, who had lost to Totino-Grace earlier in the Section 5AAAA tournament, were down to their final three outs and trailing Centennial 3-1 heading into the last of the seventh. They didn't fold.
Jeff Wehlage had a two-run single to tie the game, and Zach Loven followed with the game-winning hit to score Eric Pearson and the Rebels completed the rally for a 4-3 win.
The Rebels meet Totino-Grace in the section final round Wednesday at CHS Field. One win would give Totino-Grace the title, while the Rebels need to take two in a row to advance to the state tournament.
