Former Sinton pitcher, Mike Adams makes his MLB debut!

[pirate4state]

**Mike Adams made his Major League pitching debut last night pitching the 7th inning against the Montreal Expos for the Milwaukee Brewers. Mike registered a perfect outing allowing no runners to reach base. He struck out one and did not walk a batter. This is a young man that did not receive a college baseball scholarship out of high school and was not drafted but signed out of A&M Kingsville as a free agent.** :clap:

Maybe, one of the local sports "anchors" will have a clip. This is awesome!! :D Congrats to Mike & his family! :thumbsup:

That is awesome! The sad thing is that our local sports anchors, outside of Roland and Red, and complete selfish idiots, they probably wont do crap since it is not related to Moody or Calallen. Hope they do some stuff on him though. Mike is a great guy, hope he finds a home in the show.

That is great, local kid makes good. Didn't see it in the Smaller-Times and probably won't be a mention of it on the TV unless they are talking about Keishnick (sp) at the same time. Will be something like Brooks has a teammate from Sinton.

That is cool!:cool:
I'm glad he took advantage of his debut. Great job Mike!

helluva debut

What year did he graduate? I love it anytime a 3A or lower kid makes it to the bigs. I think the # of small town athletes in the bigs will continue to grow. Congrats to Mike Adams!:)

He graduated in 1996.. i think. I do recall he has a state championship for, of all sports, basketball.

Here is a "snip" of the story from last night's game ...

..."The home run made a winner out of Mike Adams (1-0), who struck out Orlando Cabrera during a tense, 11-pitch at-bat with the go-ahead run on second as part of a scoreless eighth inning. It was just Adams' second major league appearance." ...
