Congrats to @Woo_Baseball on the great win tonight! Your starting pitcher was tough as nails with guts of steel. Error-free baseball and winning the free bases tally gets it done just about every time.
Good luck next week!
While my time with @DACavsBaseball has come to an end it was nothing short of a blessing. I’m excited to have been named 1st Team All Conference for the second time and Pitcher of The Year for 2023. I finished my career with a 14-2 record as a starter and a 2.38 ERA.
True competitive advantage lies not in your actions, but in the relentless standards you demand of yourself while taking them.
The difference is rarely developed from what you do and often created from how you do it.
@WoosterSports@WoosterBaseball@NCAC Proud of these guys!
Now we all get back to work over the summer and get back after it.
Fall ball will be here in no time. Can’t wait.
JAYS WIN!! JAYS WIN!! JAYS WIN!!!
