Only went 5

2 hitter shutout. Some people concerned cuz his velocity wasn’t as fast, but I think he looked fine. I’m sure it will be addressed post-game.

Hey preach

sorry bout the “best athlete” thing. I wasn’t trying to argue with you at all, just discuss. I didn’t see that you said “in swimming” until sue pointed it out. No hard feelings.
