An amazing run of success for Brad, Nolan and the Boise Caps team ended in Cheyenne, Wyoming at the 2015 American Legion AA Northwest Regional tournament. While the team did not advance to the World Series, they put up a good fight, including battling back from a 0-10 deficit to win 12-11 against a Billings, MT team.
Nolan and Brad have had successful careers at Capital High School, including 1st team All conference and Top 40 Showcase for two years in a row, and Team MVP, respectively. They helped their teams compile an impressive championship record, beginning with a JV District championship in 2013; the Idaho 5A State championship in 2014; and the 2015 American Legion AA Area B, East Division District & Idaho State championship. The boys are heading to Ontario to continue their baseball career at Treasure Valley Community College.
This week’s final home game marks the end of Brad and Nolan’s remarkable success with the Boise Capitals and Capital Eagles baseball programs. As they finish out the regular Legion season and prepare for next week’s District games, it’s time to reflect on their baseball successes over the years, in Boise–and beyond…Thanks for the memories!

Highlights from the Capital Eagles Spring season includes some local news clips featuring Brad and Nolan. During the Bucks Bags tournament, Nolan hits one deep to drive in a run, his first in the tournament. In game 2, Brad tags up to score another run for the team. In a more recent conference game, Brad went 4-for-4, with a single, double and 2-triples to help secure a victory for the team.
In his first at bat of the very first game of the 2015 season, Nolan blasted the first pitch over the wall for a monster 2-run homer. The power offense continued in game 2, with Brad connecting on the first pitch for a leadoff homer for the Capital Eagles. The twins continued to showcase their power offense in the first week, including the game against Eagle High. A first inning triple by Brad and a 2-run homerun by Nolan in the same inning proved to be all the offense Capital needed for a 3-1 victory over the Mustangs, the team they beat for the 2014 Idaho State 5A championship title.
