It is with an extremely heavy heart that we have to announce the loss of a current Snapper player. Lukas Goforth tragically lost his life in an accident late last night. Please pray for all of his family, as well as his friends and teammates as we are all heartbroken.
RIP

Earlier this afternoon former Snapper Alex Oller passed away in a car accident. Words can’t describe how shaken up we are all at this news. Alex was a wonderful young man who lit up the room when he walked in. Another young life taken far too soon. RIP

Agreed. Parkland player hit a bomb off us this week and when crossing home plate pointed to some of our softball girls there watching the game and said “that was for you guys”
Everyone laughed, no feelings were hurt, nobody got plunked, umpires didn’t warn anyone. It was fun
I love baseball when players are trolling the shit out of each other.
To me, that’s fun to watch.

2 days till game day! Our sophomore of the day is Trey Kazubowski. Trey is a sophomore RHP/OF from Galva,IL. Trey will help anchor the rotation while also holding down right field. He also wanted me to add that his favorite vegetable is carrots. 😑🙄

The NJCAA has ruled they fall non-championship seasons (aka baseball,softball) will be allowed to begin practice on August 31st. This will impact a couple of our scheduled games but we will reschedule. Most importantly, THERE WILL BE BASEBALL!

Yesterday we celebrated sophomore day. These guys have been through the ringer in their two years. They still showed up every day and competed their tails off, and that’s all we can truly ask for. They have helped set the course for us to continue our upward trend as a program.

Remember one thing this summer. Your position on the depth chart in college is determined by YOU before YOU ever step foot on campus. Someone is always working harder than you.

May not seem like a lot to some. But just 4 years ago we were 1-35. Team batting average was .169 for the season. We scored 43 runs in 36 games. It’s been a STEEP uphill battle to improve this program. (and we’re still doing so every day) it’s just nice to look at the progress.

1 Day till game day! Our sophomore of the day is White Chocolate himself, Rob Chayka. Rob is a CF’er from Chicago, IL. 29% of the world is covered by land, the other 71% is covered by Rob. Some 4 year school will get an absolute steal by taking a chance on him.

As summer ball is winding down for most of you heading into college, don’t take these last 3 weeks off. Keep pounding the weights and working in the cage. The real competition starts the second you step foot on campus. We’ll be able to tell who took it easy this summer.
