We all need to hear about local boy

Schanaman. He struck out 9 of the 12 hitters he faced Tuesday night. He topped out at 97 mph. Yes, that is serious... The scariest thing... his fastball isn’t even his best pitch!

Tough night for the Sodbusters (
@GoSodbusters
) on the scoreboard tonight, but a very cool moment in the second inning.
As the team surprised Nina Meyer, delivering her a bat signed by the whole time!
As far as I know that was the first no-hitter thrown in
@Exp_League
history!!!!
@__2shay
has shown himself as not only the best pitcher in this league, but undoubtedly one of the best arms in the entire country. Huge congrats to Shay. What a night for this young man. 👏

definitely was having fun with the rain delay with a bit of Slip-N-Slide and Tic-Tac-Toe. Hopefully he has more FortNite wins than Tic-Tac-Toe wins.
The tarp is off and we are getting ready to play some baseball.
#GoBusters
Grant Schmidt just did a pretty chill bat flip. Why, you ask? Because he dropped a no-doubt Grand Slam to get to 20 runs scored in this game!!! After allowing the Pioneers to even it up in the 8th, the Sodbusters offense has absolutely gone off for 9 runs. All with 2 outs! 💣
Join us in welcoming these local talents back to Duncan Field! We are grateful to be surrounded by such successful baseball programs in Hastings and Grand Island and can't wait to see what these guys have in store for the upcoming season. See you in the dugout!
