Collin Price stepped to the plate in the bottom of the fifth inning with two outs and the bases loaded, but the pressure was already off the Lambert catcher. Jack Fleming had snuck a single into right field the batter before him to drive in a run and tie a close and pivotal region game against West Forsyth. Whatever the outcome of Price’s at-bat, the Longhorns were no longer seven outs away from a disappointing loss.
