Nate Plata, who was called out for missing home plate on Wednesday, made sure he touched it on Friday when he scored the winning run for The King's Academy in walk-off fashion.
Top-ranked Serra scored the game's only run on a first-pitch home run by Ian Josephson and then rode the arms of Richie Calderon and David Minton to the 1-0 win over St. Ignatius Prep.
Top-ranked Serra bounced back from Friday's loss to Valley Christian to beat St. Ignatius Prep on Saturday in a game that featured two bat flips and a flip of the glove.
It was a day of upsets in the WCAL. Serra and Saint Francis both lost, while St. Ignatius Prep took care of business and now looks to a Saturday game with the host Padres.
