BROOKSVILLE - Garret Zeegers smacked a bases-loaded, two-out, two-run, walk-off double into right field on Monday night to deliver a dramatic 4-3 victory for the Avon Park All-Stars in the Dixie Youth Majors (11-12) state tournament.

The second come-from-behind win in two days sends AP into the final six, where they'll face Liberty County on Tuesday at 6 p.m.

Liberty County defeated Avon Park 1-0 in the opening round of the tournament on a controversial sixth-inning call. Now AP will be looking for revenge and a shot at the tourney's final four.

Mark Devlin and Tyrone Perry each had two hits in the game, and Perry added 11 strikeouts from the mound.
