I remember when this season started, we hoped Colin would get some innings on varsity! He worked so hard, his coaches believed in him,he believed in himself, he was put in some very tough games,all for this moment! District champs!! @Kelley33C . 5IP 0R 1BB 6K!!

From 12u where it all started, to 17u where it ends! Going from barely making a team at 12, to pitching against some of the top talent in the country at 17, his hard work has paid off! So as this chapter comes to an end, we are excited for what the chapters ahead hold ❤️⚾️

@alwaysdadszn @USSSA The fact that this is happening and the one mom’s take away is “that was not a strike!” 🙄.

We survived Colin’s first start on varsity!! Had some first inning jitters, but overall had a great 4 innings pitched and allowed just 1 run (thanks to his amazing defense)! He had an awesome cheering section and the Eagles won 5-4 in extra innings!! @Kelley33C
