I had a successful wrestling tournament in the Virginia Beach Duals this Memorial weekend. I wrestled HWT and went 6-0 only allowing 7 points scored against me all weekend. Thank you to PSF for asking me to be on their team again this year. @IllinoisMatmen
I pitched a whole game tonight with 13 strike outs and allowing 2 hits, 1 walk, and 1 run over 7 innings. My top pitch speed was 87. Made the night better when I hit a home run over the left field wall of the Gateway Grizzlies Stadium. @1071TheBigZ @SoWestILHSSport
