Millers stun Irish on Tuinei’s single By RICH TORRES NOBLESVILLE – The Noblesville Millers forced defending state champion Cathedral to respond, and the Fighting Irish did – twice. But it was the Millers who had the final say. Losing hold of two one-run leads on Monday night, Noblesville’s Zac Tuinei came through in the clutch for the Millers, lofting a walk-off two-out single in the bottom of the ninth to hand the Irish their first loss in nearly two years. Top-ranked Cathedral (0-1) won the Class 4A state title last year with a perfect 29-0 record, but the ninth-ranked Millers (1-0) ended the streak with a 3-2 victory on opening night at The Dunk. “This one is huge. This is one we had circled on the calendar, especially for our home opener,” Tuinei said. “It’s a big win.” The moment was magnified with two runners in scoring position and Tuinei at the plate facing Cathedral right-hander Jar- ed Poland, a Louisville commit.
