Local Pitcher Called Up To The Bigs

*UPDATE* Scribner managed to get into last night's game against the Braves. Evan pitched 2 scoreless innings, giving up 2 hits and walking 1. An impressive debut to say the least. 

So I just got word that Evan Scribner has been called up to the San Diego Padres today. Scribner was a former pitcher at Shepaug High School and played for the Torrington P38s American Legion Baseball team. Scribner was called up to the Show from AAA Tucson while lefty Wade LeBlanc was sent back down.

I had the opportunity to face Evan back in the day (early 2000s) and he sure was one hell of a pitcher in his younger days. Luckily the books have been burned as I'm sure I have a lifetime 0-fer against him. 

I wish nothing but the best for Evan and hopefully he can stick around the pros for a long time. He should stand as an inspiration for every aspiring youth pitcher in our local area. 


YES you can make it kids....
