It’s one for the “history books.”

The Johnson County Community College baseball team capped a record-breaking season Friday night, beating Blinn College 8-5 in the JUCO World Series national championship game in Grand Junction, Colorado.

The win secures the Cavaliers’ first-ever baseball title.

JCCC ends the season with a 67-3 record. At times this spring, they drew national sports media attention for a record-setting 41-game winning streak.

“This group is special. This group is going to go down in the history books,” Coach Eric Horner said in a post-championship game interview posted to the JUCO World Series website.

Victor Christal, a Kansas City-area native and graduate of Bishop Miege High School in Roeland Park, pitched the final two innings for the Cavaliers in Friday’s title game.

He threw the final pitch that secured the victory.

The Cavaliers were powered by four home runs in the title game, including another from Ashton Hartwig, whose walk-off homer on Thursday night versus Midland College sent JCCC to the title game.

The other three home runs Friday came from Isaac Pamaran, Colin Coonradt and Boston Bruce.

“Everyone is just bought in, immediately from the start of the spring,” said Coonradt in a recorded on-field interview after the game. “We just wanted this. It wasn’t a surprise that we came here and won. We just knew what we wanted to do.”

Horner, the coach, said the victory was “still sinking in.”

“This is what we start day one. This is what it’s all about,” Horner said in his postgame interview on the field, players celebrating around him. “We have a big poster of Grand Junction in our locker room. This is what you play for, to be the last one standing out of 200-some teams.”
