“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.”
