Season is over!

The season is officially over. We lost to Rice and Xavier in the NCAA regionals, with Matt giving up his first college career home run. He finished the season with 7 wins, 0 losses, 2 saves, and 1.99 ERA in 40 innnings with 33 strikeouts. He had a great year and will take the summer off to rest and take classes. Can't wait til next spring to see what God has for him.

Matt pitched in the second and last game of the conference tournament this week and gave up no runs, in 9 1/3 innings with 12 strikeouts total. He was awarded the mvp of the tournmanet because he came into the game in the 4th inning and threw 5 2/3 innings giving up 4 hits (3 in the last inning with two outs) 8Ks and no runs. He was stellar! They will now start the road to the world series. Here is a video of the last few moments of the game.
