RH: Morning Goals With Mom Start Tolle On Memorable Afternoon

By Paul Suellentrop

Payton Tolle ate breakfast burritos with his mom on Saturday and Jina, as she often does, asked him his goals for the day.

"She always says 'We're going to make goals – what are your three goals?'" Tolle said. "We always talk about the differences between setting goals and expectations. Goals you want to reach, and expectations are things you should expect to do – play hard, compete."

Tolle then produced the kind of day goal-setting moms with pitcher-hitter sons dream about in Wichita State's 17-5 win over Oakland at Eck Stadium.
