Ready for the Golden State

Fall pre-season workouts are underway for Brad and Nolan, as their collegiate baseball journey has moved to Northern California, at the University of the Pacific (Stockton) and California State East Bay (Hayward), respectively.  Playing together since their t-ball days, the twins will be on different baseball teams for the first time in their careers. They bring offensive, defensive and leadership skills to California and are expected to enhance the pool of talented players on their teams…

The 2018 season is just around the corner, and can be viewed in person or follow the team online:

End of Capital BBall…onto TVCC!

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.
