[LB Eagle Baseball @LBEagleBaseball]

We lose 5-2 in the State Semis. What an incredible run. Extremely proud of this group. Played as the underdog the entire tournament and this group brought it every day. Thank you to seniors Reid, Zach, Isaac, Mack, Gavin, Lincoln, Sam, and Gavin for leading us all year.
