Payton Tolle had to do an interview and get to batting practice before the second game of Saturday's doubleheader. Those duties could wait, however, while he took pictures and exchanged hugs with family and signed autographs for fans.
The pitcher who shuts out No. 7 East Carolina is in demand and with good reason.
Tolle, a sophomore lefty, propelled the Shockers to one of their most impressive days of the last 15 seasons with his two-hitter in a 7-0 win over the Pirates at Eck Stadium.
