Rowley ’13 Impresses In MLB Debut

Twitter Reaction

TORONTO – Army West Point baseball alum Chris Rowley had a memorable Major League Baseball debut Saturday afternoon in front of more than 46,000 fans at Rogers Centre.

After getting the call that most young boys dream about late Thursday night, Rowley had one day to prepare for the biggest game of his career up until this point. But the 2013 graduate did not disappoint. He finished 5.1 innings, allowing five hits and just one run, while sprinkling in three strikeouts during his time on the hill. And by the way, he also earned the win after his team backed him with seven runs in the victory over the Pirates.
