Summer Action Sizzles

The weather isn’t the only thing that is hot this summer, as Brad and Nolan continue to deliver on offense and defense during American Legion play. As players for the Boise Capitals American Legion team, the boys have had hot bats and once on base, they are dangerous base-stealing threats. This weekend’s July 4th tournament in Reno saw several rbi’s and hits, including triples by both and a home run off the scoreboard by Nolan. Their defense remains strong, with web gems in the outfield and outstanding pitching performances by Brad.

Look for more baseball action from the boys this coming week, as they join their teammates and compete against teams from across the Northwest at the annual Summer Classic Wood bat tournament in Boise.

Power on Display in Week 1

March 21, 2015 jekichbradnolan Leave a comment

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.

Expect to see more exciting plays at the Bucks Bags Spring Classic to be held March 26-28 at Capital High School.
