ROUNDUP : Master’s Brady Has a Field Day in 11-5 Setback

Senior Rick Brady concluded his college career with a flourish, playing all nine positions for The Master’s College baseball team Thursday. But the occasion was spoiled as Cal Baptist won the NAIA District 3 game, 11-5, at Master’s.

Brady started the game at catcher, then rotated around the infield and outfield positions before starting the ninth inning on the mound. Cal Baptist was leading, 6-4, when Brady started his pitching stint by walking the first three batters.

He gave up a single before being relieved by Matt Davis, who had pitched the fourth through eighth innings.

Brady was used mostly as a substitute outfielder, first baseman and catcher in his four years at the school.

The Master’s (16-26, 11-9 in district play) rallied for one run in the ninth when a triple by Matt Henzie drove in Rick Simpson, who had walked.
