Video: Cardinal Gibbons' Robbie Thorburn defeats Person with walk-off homer in extra innings

Bookmark and Share

What does a walk-off home run in extra innings sound like?

When it's a no-doubter like the one Cardinal Gibbons' Robbie Thorburn hit this week, it sounds (and looks) like the video below.

Thorburn, you might recall, went 14-for-14 in a streak last year that tied a state record for most consecutive at-bats with a hit. He has signed with UNC-Wilmington.

His walk-off homer on a 2-1 count in the top of the eighth helped defeat Person County 5-4.
