The 3-5 CGD baseball team enters off a hot night at the plate with a 10-5 win at Clear Lake on Monday. Senior Carson Nesheim has been an outstanding player for the Cowboys, leading the team in hits(7), RBI(6), ERA(3.86) and strikeouts thrown(35) entering June.
CGD Head Coach Ryan Nail says Nesheim has stepped up in a big way and the team looks to improve in run production and limiting errors.
“Carson pitched well and is good enough to carry us in games,” says Nesheim. “We just need to make sure that offensively we back him with some runs and defensively make sure that we clean up a few errors. We’ll jump into the long season that is coming up and we’re going to try our best to put our team in the best position to win.”
