May 28, 1996 Teague Fatzinger's single in the bottom of the eighth inning drives in Josh Perich with the winning run as Northwestern defeats Palisades, 4-3, in the District 11 Class AA semifinals. Fatzinger finishes the contest with three hits and two RBIs while Tony Frey goes the distance on the mound, allowing just four hits, to gain the pitching win. The Tigers, coached by Len Smith, force extra innings by rallying for two runs in the home sixth. Jack Mosser delivers a run-scoring triple in the frame and then scores on Eric Tacker's RBI single.
