North Carolina baseball

[obie105]

For those that live in North Carolina my nephew was the opening night pitcher for Burlington Royals. He pitched 5 innings with only 5 hits allowed and 26 strikeouts with no walks. I believe the game was in Virginia. If you get a chance and live out there go to a game and check him out. This is his first season and is playing in the rookie Appalachian league.

Isn't Bubba Starling at Burlington right now too?  (The Royals first round pick that was a Husker football/baseball recruit)

Excellent game...what is your nephew's name? 

 

[obie105]

Yes they are team mates. My nephews name is Jakob Junis.  He was drafted out of hs last summer.

I thought 26 sounded about 20 too many.  ;D

Congrats to him, and to be playing with the likes of Bubba Starling.
