He also made an awesome play at shortstop in the 7th inning. He's a great all-around player and the Giants are lucky to have him, especialy now that they really need someone like him to excel.

Let's not forget his teammate and friend Brad Bergesen who also graduated from Foothill and is now pitching for the Orioles. He was in town a couple of weeks ago- so great to see these positive success stories. So proud of Brad also!
