Summer ball 2025

Just bringing some observations as I watch some of these summer league games. Henry Ford has played every game in center field so far in the cape. And recently he has been hitting leadoff. Not sure where he will slot for us if he makes it to campus, but there is plenty of athleticism there. Has been heating up at the plate as well.

Great night for baseball and fireworks in Forest City.

Big crowd for postgame autographs before fireworks. We’re the fireworks for Forest City, and we’ll pull in people from other towns like Spindale and Rutherfordton. Great summertime fun.

I highly recommend taking in a Forest City Owls game. Good wholesome fun in a beautiful town resembling Mayberry.

Great night at the ballpark.
So, I decided to try a White Claw. My wife asked if I was going to freshen up my lipstick afterwards

That’s a good looking jersey in D1 Baseball’s tweet I’ll add Frank is a solid player and good guy.

And that's with a wooden bat. Really impressive power.

Brayden Sharp pitched 6 innings of shutout baseball for the Lincoln Potters against Blake Grimmer’s 1st place Prune Packers only giving up 1 hit, with 11 Ks and 2 BBs. Luke Payne and and Ryan Combs are in bullpen for Packers. For the season. Sharp has a 2.25 ERA and is crushing the Pacific Empire League with 24 IP and only 13 hits with 31Ks and 10 BBs and only 6 earned runs. He will play at Rice next season.
