It’s senior day, but we’ve still got a freshman of the day! Today it’s Jake Hull from right here in Grinnell, Iowa. His fun fact is that there’s a burger named after him at local restaurant Hometown Heroes. Order the Jake Full today! #notsponsored #HomeTownHero

And that’s the game folks. Good guys win 15-9. Asawa throws 8 2/3 innings to close out his Grinnell career. What a moment. For now we are signing off. From all of us at GC Bullpen, thanks for tuning in and we’ll see you next year ❤️.

It is with deep regret and profound sadness that we tell our fans we ended the weekend with 68K’s as a staff. This is unacceptable, and we will work with every fiber in our beings to hit 69.

Luke Porter broke his bat earlier in the game, so he was swinging Ian Brown’s Bonesaber bat for the first time ever when he hit his go-ahead grand slam. Something tells us he might try it out a few more times…

What we didn’t tell you during the first game was that Nate almost reached base on a dropped third strike. He went in feet first, and thanks to UChi’s web broadcast and some research from Eddie Econ, we are able to share the video of his incredible display of athleticism. Enjoy:

While we wait, we’ve got one more first-year of the day: Connor Goodson, a right-handed pitcher/first baseman from Norman, OK. Although he’s spent most of this year on injured reserve, he has been developing his hackey sack skills and hopes to turn pro once he graduates.

After discussing, the umpires and coaches have decided to call the game and stop playing for the day. We played just enough for it to be official, so that’s a 9-4 Grinnell win in 5 innings! We’ll be back tomorrow to try to squeeze in as many games as possible.
