Dear Lukas, All day I’ve been at lose of words because I know the impact you’ve had on myself, Spoon River Baseball and the Canton Community. So I want to thank you for being a young man that never took short cuts, always had a big smile and loved to compete. Rest easy #19 🐢

Earlier this afternoon former Snapper Alex Oller passed away in a car accident. Words can’t describe how shaken up we are all at this news. Alex was a wonderful young man who lit up the room when he walked in. Another young life taken far too soon. RIP #6 . You will be missed.
