DeBoer has the goods

This was my first chance to really watch Tyler DeBoer pitch, and while his coach (and second cousin) Kevin DeBoer said that he struggled to get his curveball over, I was very impressed.

The kids got guts. He's probably going to be the best pitcher in whatever it is the ECFC-Lakes will be called next year and probably will be the best pitcher when Waupun moves to the Eastern Wisconsin Conference in two years.

If his curveball was working on Wednesday night/Thursday morning, there's no doubt in my mind he could have really flirted with a no-hitter. As it was, he held West De Pere without a hit for the first four-plus innings.

The kid will be back at Fox Cities Stadium at some point, don't worry.
