Jefferson's title was delayed at least 15 minutes after the third inning. The power went out at Blake High School shutting down the lights on the field. The Dragons stayed loose. They even danced to the Cha Cha Slide over the PA system. After the lights came back, Jefferson turned on their power.
Trailing 1-0 in the top of the fourth, Sophomore Justine Fernandez connected for what turned out to be the game-winning two-RBI double. Their defense took them the rest of the way.
