Looking ahead to the 2019 season
Getting ready for the 2020 series opener

All good things must come to an end, but it seemed like it was much too soon for this dynamic baseball duo. Bradley, who hit a home run in his final collegiate home stand in 2019, and Nolan, whose 2020 senior season was cut short by a worldwide pandemic, gave family & fans plenty to cheer about throughout their remarkable baseball careers.  We are left wondering, “what if…?” We celebrate their numerous accomplishments that were “earned, never given”…It’s been a memorable ride – thanks, boys for the memories!

A championship caliber combo…
Getting the job done…
Earned, never given…

These days, it’s rare to see both Brad and Nolan playing baseball in the same town, so local family and friends took advantage of the opportunity to cheer them on in person. The twins brought their usual championship-level style of play to their Southern California 2018 collegiate summer baseball teams.

Brad, playing for the California Collegiate League’s Orange County Riptide, finished the summer with 1 HR, 1-3B, 4-2B and 15-1B and a .296 avg. Playing for the Sunset Baseball League’s Long Beach Legends, Nolan led his team with 5-HR, and posted 5-3B, 3-3B, 5-2B and 17-1B, and a .330 avg. He was also named to 2nd Team All Summer. Both teams advanced to their league championship finals, with the Legends earning the top prize.

The duo also demonstrated their speed around the bases and in the outfield, including some defensive plays worthy of a web gem highlight reel.  To view some highlights:

  • check out Brad’s reel, including a 2-run HR (June 16) and key defensive plays (July 9) in right field.
  • watch how Nolan ramps up the noise level with some clutch hits during a regular season  game and a solo bomb in the playoffs.
