Kruppy on the mound

Carter is the 4th pitcher on the Padres roster this season. We have 3, really good pitchers who have been coached to pitch. Carter, on the other hand, has never been trained/coached as a pitcher. In fact, he only pitched 5 innings through out the entire regular season. Coach Nick put Carter in as the starting pitcher for the 3rd T.O.C. game. Talk about nerve wracking for this Mama. I had nothing to stress about. Carter pitched the complete game, only giving up 3 hits. The final score was 13-0. It was a shut out. He did an outstanding job on the mound today! We are so proud of him.
