After a tough loss in the 2016 championship game to the University of Nevada club team, the East Carolina University club baseball team redeemed itself by capturing the National Club Baseball Association Championship with a walk-off victory in extra innings earlier this month.
Scorer of the winning run, Tyler Sholar, says the “toughest challenge” throughout the 2017 season was knowing they were so close last year before losing to Nevada in the national championship game.
“We knew we had to work twice as hard to be able to have the opportunity to redeem ourselves this year,” Sholar said in an email interview.
