Six Seniors with an average GPA of over 4.00, and oh yeah, they won another baseball game tonight at Bill Worrell Field and celebrated with Strawberry Shortcake πŸ°

” Great team effort tonight.  Peyton was dominant again on the mound.  Chanson led the game off with a double, I thought our approach at the plate was tremendously better than the first few games of the season.

Bryce had a huge RBI single in the 6th to keep the lead at 3 runs.  Couldn’t be more proud of these guys tonight.”

Thank you, Coach Burcham !

Getting to spend 15 quality minutes with part of the Burcham Bunch prior to warm-ups led to the fun photo πŸ“Έ of his senior class. The group defines what it is to be a student athlete, and they appear to respect the game and their coach !

The strawberry shortcake 🍰 part of the story made me smile. A few years back, when Softball coach Rick Nester had a team that flirted with double figures in regards to seniors, I suggested letting each player have their own version of Senior Night and then have the big one at the end.

Burcham actually improved on the idea πŸ’‘by letting the player choose his favorite dessert 🍨. Tonight, it was Bryce Cochran Night, hence the strawberry shortcake ! I had hoped to circle back by, but baseball ⚾️ finished up before softball .

Peyton Spencer was dealing once again, and the zero in the error column tells you that his defense had his back !
