Fourth CG of the season and the seventh of his career. Winning pitcher tonight. What a way to go out.
Thank you all you've meant to Valpo for the last five years, Lock.

One for the history books 📚
After Connor Lockwood’s appearance today, striking out 3 batters, he now ranks 10th in Valparaiso Baseball history with 217 career strikeouts.
Oh, and he’s not done yet 😎

Immaculate inning for @connor_lockwood! 🤩
Lock needed just nine pitches to strike out the side in the bottom of the second tonight at Alabama State, Valpo's first immaculate inning since Colin Fields had one in his no-hitter on March 13, 2021 at Middle Tennessee! #GoValpo
Lifelong dream becoming reality!🖊️
