This game was more special than any other I’ve ever coached. For those who don’t know, my father, who was my best friend, passed away on Monday. I’d like to think he made his presence felt and would’ve been upset if I didn’t go and do what we both love. Love you old man.

EAGLES WIN! 10 runs cross in the first, including a three-run homer for Max Gustafson. Conference play resumes this weekend with a three-game series at Cleveland. #WakeTech🦅⚾️

To say I’m thankful is an understatement. Was a great summer with a special group. Glad I’m able to represent the @ForestCityOwls and @CPLBaseball. Thank you to everyone that has helped me along the way.

I am thankful for the support that this team and org. gave me this year. This group was special. It’s not easy to win 30+ games, let alone make the championship series. That is a testament to the players dedication day in and day out. Thank you and see you soon. @ForestCityOwls

I want to take a second and say thank you @HTHiToms for allowing me to be the head coach of this organization! This was by far the best locker room I've been a part of and it showed by how they grinded day in and day out. Can't wait to see what they accomplish at their schools!

After having a few weeks to settle in post summer, I wanted to thank @ForestCityOwls for a memorable season. I want to also thank all the players and staff that were a part of this organization to make it special. As well as @c_o_dizzle and @G_Weyman for all the work you guys did

A little late on sophomore day but I wanted to take a moment and say that I am very thankful to have this group this year. It’s not easy to embrace change and these guys laid the foundation for the future. Couldn’t have asked for more.

Proud of this group this weekend. Got some things we need to work on but you can’t say this team doesn’t have some grit to them. Let’s get back to work.

Opening weekend series dub‼️ Josh Murphy goes five shutout innings today to get the win, and Blake Gaffney leads the way offensively with four RBI. Next up, our home opener against Richard Bland on Wednesday at 3:00pm. We’ll see you at Ting! #WakeTech 🦅⚾️
