Sheldon Clark Senior Ethan Osborne
“… I didn’t feel very good going into the game. The bullpen mound was still muddy from the rain, and it didn’t feel like I had my best stuff. I was just taking it one batter at a time… was just trying to hit my spots and not waste any pitches. A couple of my teammates mentioned the no hitter going into the 5th inning but I just kept trying to hit my spots and it worked out in my favor.”
