WEST POINT — West Point’s magical season reached an untimely end on Saturday.

The Warriors fell short in Game 3 of their Class 5A second-round playoff series against Mortimer Jordan, dropping a 13-5 contest to wrap up a wonderful spring with a 22-15 record.

West Point secured a 1-0 lead in the first inning following an RBI single from Rylan Jones.

Kolton Easterwood and Matthew McDonald each claimed bases-loaded walks in the second frame before Jones took a pitch off his person to increase the home squad’s advantage to four runs.

The Blue Devils (29-13) sliced their deficit back down to one in the third inning following a three-run bomb from Wallace State signee Dalton Hall.

Cameron Bates, however, delivered a sacrifice fly in the fourth frame to make it 5-3.

Unfortunately for the Warriors, things soon fell apart in a bad way.

The first three hitters — walk, error and hit by pitch — for Mortimer Jordan reached in the fifth inning, and Blue Devils made them pay with a trio of huge RBI singles. The visitors tallied another run on yet another West Point error to eventually secure a 7-5 advantage.

“We didn’t really let it snowball until we started kicking it a little bit,” coach Seth Ward said. “We had three or four errors, and they’re a momentum team. We let them get it, and they took control of the game at that point. From there on out, we put too much pressure on ourselves in the box and didn’t have great at-bats.”

The Warriors collected just one hit in the final three innings — Easterwood smashed a double — while the Blue Devils crafted two more runs in the sixth frame and four more in the seventh to salt away the triumph.

Easterwood (RBI) picked up two hits, while Jones (two RBIs), Levi Allred, Whitt Laney and Sam Briehn all came up with one hit apiece. McDonald and Bates each notched one RBI as well.

West Point will graduate eight seniors off this year’s stellar team — Allred, Easterwood, McDonald, Briehn, Bates, Noah Gammon, Jacob Mosher and Patrick McKeehan.

Despite the difficult outcome, though, the Warriors have nothing to be ashamed of entering the offseason.

The program earned yet another county crown, corralled its first playoff berth since 2003 and won its first-ever postseason series with an opening-round sweep of Pleasant Grove.

An emotional Ward took time to reflect on those accomplishments following Saturday’s contest.

“I’m so, so proud of this bunch,” he said. “I knew two years ago they were special. They’ve got the ball rolling. These young guys have got to appreciate what they’ve done. They’ve laid the foundation, and I love these kids like my own. I couldn’t be any prouder of them. It’s not what we wanted today, but it was so much fun every day going to work with these guys. That’s the most enjoyable thing … the appreciation, what they mean to us and what they do for us as far as coming to work and making it such a special and awesome thing to really love what you do. We love these kids, and we’re so proud of what they’ve done.”
