2014 5A State Champions!

Brad, Nolan and the rest of the Capital Eagles’ 2014 baseball team finished the 2014 regular spring season with a State championship.

Tournament media coverage included this excerpt recapping the first game of the tournament.  “Capital manufactured 14 hits, including five for extra bases. Nolan Jekich finished 3-for-4 with two RBIs and two triples, while his twin brother added a pair of RBIs on a single and fifth-inning sacrifice fly.” (Idaho Statesman, 5/16/04)

11-inning Thriller Caps the Week

The bats and gloves did not disappoint this past week, with Brad and Nolan delivering timely hits, stolen bases and web gems. The three games played last week ended with a marathon 11-inning game between Capital and Rocky Mountain, the top 2 teams in the 5A SIC. Brad contributed to the win with base hits and strong base running, while Nolan sealed the victory with a 2-RBI triple in the top of the 11th.
