Cy Sneed pitched for the Fresno Grizzlies against Reno Aces on Monday, August 21st for the win: 7 innings, 2 runs, 4 hits, 6 strikeouts! It was especially thrilling for about 50 long-time "Sneed Fans."
Cy was drafted out of Dallas Baptist University in the 3rd round by the Milwaukee Brewers and traded to the Houston Astros Cy Sneed has been starting pitcher there for two years. He and his wife, Hannah, graduated from Dallas Baptist University and are currently living in Kenia, Alaska in the off season.

Zeb Sneed, Cy’s older brother, was drafted out of northwest Nazarene University  by Kansas City Royals in the 12th round and is currently a starting pitcher for the River City Rascals, an independent team out of O'Fallon, Missouri. He and his wife graduated from Southern Nazarene University and currently live in Bethany, Oklahoma in the off season.

Cy and Zeb’s dad, Bob Sneed, son of Brenda and John Sneed of Chilcoot, graduated from McQueen High School and attended Loyalton for two years, and graduated from Purdue Univ  ersity where he also was 
a starting pitcher for two years then drafted by the 
Mets, but he didn't sign.

AMONG THEIR FANS is Chris Lonergan, formerly of Loyalton, who writes, “Cy and Zeb Sneed, sons of Bob Sneed and grandkids of John and Brenda Sneed of Chilcoot, are doing extremely well in their professional baseball careers. Cy just got promoted to triple A Fresno Grizzlies, the top minor league team for the Houston Astros. Cy pitched last night in Reno and had an outstanding game in ​front of lots of family and friends who came out to see Cy pitch against the Aces. 
“Cy pitched 7 innings and got the win, which was super nice with all the people there to see him.   
“Zeb is one of the top pitchers on the River City Rascals, a professional baseball club in the independant league.     
“To make a pro team and being able to pitch professionally is no easy task, as both brothers have superb work ethic instilled in them at a very young age, and along with their God-given talent, don't be surprised if you see one or both brothers pitching in the major leagues someday!  
“It has been a super exciting ride the last few years with the brothers in their pro careers, and a very special thing to witness.  
“A lot goes into being a pro ball player, and to have a local connection to this road to the big leagues is a very exciting thing to follow and be a part of.  
“Keep up the hard work and stay focused and great things are going to happen.”
