Recap of today. The varsity baseball team only allowed 7 hits for the double header which speaks volumes for our pitching performances. Logan and Noah pitches absolute gems. Scotty and Riley Gannon came in relief and did an amazing job. Defensively Mitchell Brigham played an amazing shortstop... Mr. Fundamental. Hitting wise Scotty had the hot bat, and so did Brandon. The team leader with QAB’s was Mckinnley. Austyn and Riley at current perfect with attempted steals throwing out every runner. Positive things today! I’m excited to watch these boys grow!! Go Jackets!!
