It was a wild game for three hours and seven innings when it ended in a tie a week ago and it finished in an unorthodox way on Saturday morning.

Mountain Pointe executed three bunts in the ninth inning -- including back-to-back suicide squeezes -- to score three runs and top Mesa High, 15--12, in the completion of a suspended baseball game from April 6.

The win completed a huge week for Mountain Pointe (four wins) that ran the Pride's power-point record to 10-4. Mesa High dropped to 8-5 in power-point games and remains in the postseason hunt.

Mountain Pointe started its winning rally in the ninth inning with Brantley Bell getting hit by a pitch. Ernie De La Trinidad followed with a sacrifice bunt that was better than that -- a hit down the third-base line. A walk to Cole Tucker loaded the bases and that led to Mountain Pointe coach Brandon Buck to call for small ball.

"The lower part of our order does that really well so we went with it," Buck said. "We haven't done it much, but we work on it in practice. You want them to be ready and execute it and not go back to the dugout saying to themselves, 'Oh crap''".

Charged with squeeze attempts were No. 7 hitter Michael Weaver who brought home Bell with his bunt. Zach Rowe followed with another successful one that brought in two runs -- De La Trinidad and and Tucker, who didn't hesitate rounding third and beat the relay from first easily.

Mountain Pointe got a great finish from pitcher-first baseman Joey Curletta on the mound. Curletta tossed the final two innings of regulation on April 6 allowing an unearned run. He threw two on Saturday, allowing a hit, a walk and struck out five. His total line for the game was seven Ks in four innings.

"Joey was on it today," Buck said. "His slider was good. That wrinkle was something they didn't see last time. He had more than the fastball."

Curletta pitched out of a one-out jam in the bottom of the eighth. He walked Mesa's Tim Serna and wild-pitched him to second. Curletta fanned two of Mesa's best hitters -- Brock Hale and Brandon Downs -- to get Mountain Pointe to the ninth. Prior to those at bats, Hale and Downs had combined in the game for six hits and two walks in 10 plate appearances.
