Congrats to SR RHP Johnny Ortegae who recently surpassed 100 career strikeouts. Johnny currently sits at 119 and counting. In 44.2 IP this year, Johnny has only allowed 27 hits and a 2.19 ERA @JohnnyOrtegae
I’m excited to announce that I will be continuing my academic and baseball journey at La Salle University!
Thank you Coach @milstime for giving me this incredible opportunity. I’m grateful for the support from my family, teammates, and coaches who have helped me get to this point. Can’t wait to get to work — Go Explorers!
Bonner’s Johnny Ortegae and Michael Coleman both dominated on the diamond this afternoon against O’Hara.
Ortegae had a complete game and only allowed one run. Coleman finished the game with a double and a home run.
@Bonner_Baseball: 6
O’Hara: 1
My recap for @DelcoBaseball:
This is unfortunate news. I was excited to be committed to Limestone University, but due to the announcement of them closing, I am now #uncommitted and in search of a pitching opportunity. Thank you Coach @Harker31 & @Limestone_BSB for the opportunity! See you on the field! ⚾
🚨 DEVELOPING: Limestone University says it needs $6 million in immediate funding— or it may be forced to shut down its campus at the end of the Spring 2025 semester, effectively ending in-person classes, athletics, and student life in Gaffney.
If that happens, it would be a massive blow to Cherokee County and the surrounding region. Limestone has been a cornerstone of the community since 1845.
Emergency meetings were held this afternoon with faculty at 2:00 PM and students at 2:30 PM. Athletic practices were canceled. While a full closure is on the table, the university is also considering a shift to online-only operations. The Board of Trustees is set to meet again on April 22 to determine next steps.
Meanwhile, students are left facing serious uncertainty:
▪️ Many transfer deadlines at other colleges have already passed
▪️ Scholarship students are unsure if their financial aid can transfer
▪️ Off-campus leases could result in expensive penalties if broken early
Limestone says it will be reaching out to students directly with more guidance soon.
I’ll continue to follow this developing story.
Huge thanks to @Justin__Terrell for the highlights and for capturing a milestone moment — my 100th career high school strikeout @Bonner_Baseball! Grateful for the journey and everyone who's been part of it.

@Limestone_BSB Commit
Came in relief and was absolute nails for the Friars. Pounded the zone and induced weak contact.
He utilized the ASR on his firm FB to get in on the hitters. The SL was sweeper-ish & kept the hitters off balance. Impressive outing.
FB: 86-88 T89
SL: 77-79
CH: 81
