Catalina Foothills scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh, and had the tying run at the plate, but Sahuaro held on to defeat the Falcons 7-5 Friday night, one day after the Cougars built up a 10-1 lead at Buena, only to lose the game 11-10.

Chris Moon was an All-State pitcher and outfielder from Tucson High who was drafted by the Atlanta Braves in 2007 but he chose to stay home and play for the University Arizona instead but Moon, like Pat Tillman before him, felt a higher calling during his freshman year with the Wildcats and he left baseball and the obvious path to a promising professional career to join the military so he could serve our country.
