On March 29th, the Linsly baseball team celebrated their senior day with a 15-1 victory over The Kiski School. This was a fitting and well-deserved win for the five seniors on the baseball team: Carson Gessler, Evan Zido, Rocco Paolina, Patrick Christ, and Hunter Rainier. Zido, Christ, Paolina, and Gessler have been dedicated to this program for all four years, while this was Rainier’s first year as an impactful Linsly baseball player. These boys bring energy and leadership to the field, day in and day out. They have shown commitment to this program and will leave a lasting legacy on Linsly baseball. These seniors will be deeply missed!
Carson Gessler, a long-time Linsly cadet and stand-out baseball player, reflected on the senior day, his baseball journey, and what is to come after high school. When asked what his favorite memory of baseball was, he replied, “Going to Vero Beach my junior year.” When asked what he will miss the most, he said, “Spending time with the players and coaches. I’ll miss how our team works together and is always giving maximum effort.” Carson plans for after high school are to attend WVU and study business management!
Wishing him and all the seniors the best of luck in their future endeavors. Congratulations to Carson, Evan, Rocco, Patrick, and Hunter for an unforgettable season and career!
