From first appearances it seemed likely earlier this week that Chase Cook’s baseball season was over.
Silverdale Baptist’s young left-hander took a shot to his pitching hand in Monday’s game with Grace Academy.
“We thought it was broken. I don’t know if you believe in such things, but we prayed as a team Monday night,” Seahawks coach Gray Ange said. “He came back from the doctor, and his hand was swollen but there weren’t any breaks.”
Cook answered the call Thursday and was good enough for a 10-4 District 5-A championship win over visiting Boyd-Buchanan.
He went into the sixth inning with a 10-1 lead, scattering six hits while pitching around a couple of errors.
