For the first time in 10 years, the Simpson Red Hawks will advance to a conference tourney! It’s the first time since being in the Cal Pac. In a year filled with adversity and uncertainty, these guys never stopped battling. So proud to be a part of it. @SimpsonRedHawks

Nothing like traveling 2000 miles round trip, winning a 3-game conference series, then getting off the bus at 3:45 am and pulling the tarp. Success is doing the things others won’t. #thegrindisreal @NAIABall @SimpsonRedHawks @SU_Baseball @SimpsonU

Wanna hit velo in a game? Practice it. Those 3 foul ball swings gave Mookie 10x the feedback than 3 feel-good, 40 mph BP hacks. I wonder if Mookie complained about not enough swings? Or he finds ways to get better in every swing?🤔
