‘28 Christopher Knelly (Hazelton//@rcswarpath )

Knelly came into the game with a strong competitive edge tossing 2 scoreless to complete the shutout. Mixed in a FB and BB and showed confidence to throw it in any count to get quick outs. FB was up to 84 with a breaking ball in the mid 70s.

🇺🇸Wreaths Across America🇺🇸

This weekend, members of @rcswarpath proudly participated in Wreaths Across America, an organization dedicated to honoring and remembering our fallen veterans by placing wreaths on their graves and teaching future generations the value of freedom and sacrifice.

We are incredibly proud of these young men for taking the time to serve their community, recognize our military families, and show gratitude to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Moments like this are bigger than baseball and reflect the character, respect, and leadership we strive to develop in our players.

Proud of our Warpath family.
