State Championship Winner

State Championship Winner

My senior year of high school, I lead my team in homer's for most of the year, and the state in homer's for most of the year. I was passed up later in the year by a much bigger and stronger kid. We breezed through the playoffs until semi-state, where I threw a great game, going six innings and seven strikeouts only giving up one run. we then one and went onto state and won four-teen to one. It was a blast and not many people can say they one a state championship. I then went on to play a couple of months at Grace College to play baseball, until I quit half way through the year.
