In the field he recorded 30 putouts, ranking fourth on the team, and spent eight games on the mound, earning a save while striking out 17 batters in 18 innings.
Despite a 13‑18 overall record, the Tigers fell to Des Moines Christian in the Class 3A Substate 7 first‑round game on July 10, ending their campaign.
The season’s highlights were underscored by the team’s affiliation with Adel‑DeSoto‑Minburn, a program accessible through admtigers.com, and the broader Iowa high school sports community overseen by the Iowa High School Athletic Association, whose site can be found at iahsaa.org.
