Honored to be a part of this programs turnaround. What a season to go out on. Can’t wait to watch these boys in the years to come and see what this team accomplishes next 🔱

From Tom Pile:
@SJOBaseball explodes for 5 runs here in the bottom of the second, highlighted by an RBI single from OF Coy Taylor (2025) and this 3-run HR from Jared Altenbaumer (2025). 👇
Still hitting here in the second with the Spartans leading 5-0.

From O’Fallon:
OF Jared Altenbaumer (St. Joseph Ogden, 2025) starts the game’s scoring with a bases clearing double making it 3-0.
Altenbaumer would score one batter later when SS Kodey McKinney (2026) singled him home.
