It’s been a wild couple months of grinding and it’s started to pay off. But I couldn’t have pulled it off alone; everyone showed up with great energy and attitude. And I gotta give a shout out to my catcher Kason Blood for making me look so good.” Blue Mountain now moves on to face Randolph Wednesday April 17th.
