Matt Kroon’s home run was his first as a Fightin, his teammates gave him the customary silent treatment, Matt is a very popular member of the team.

Potter Notes :


Lefty Erubiel Armenta can dominate when he’s throwing strikes, the young man has excellent movement on his pitches and mid to upper nineties velocity. The 21 year old from Mexico is one to watch.

Potter Notes :


Lefty Matt Osterberg threw extremely well, quick worker, excellent command … only his second outing as a Thresher … Alex McKenney featured a big swooping curve ball as his primary pitch … kept hitters way off balance … velocity on the pitch in high 70’s
