Hannah Husom wasn’t sure she was going to get there.

The fleet Champlin Park left fielder thought she got a late jump on a ball hit her way Friday. With two runners on base and two outs in the top of the fourth inning, Bloomington Jefferson’s Grace Rolek, the Jaguars’ best clutch hitter in the state tournament, hit a liner that appeared destined for the gap in left-center.

But Husom never let it drop. She raced to her left and, at the last moment, stuck out her glove. The ball complied, landing securely in the pocket, ending the threat.

Husom’s catch energized the Champlin Park bench. The Rebels tacked on four runs in the bottom of the fourth and went on to win their first softball state championship with a 6-0 victory in the Class 4A final.
