(‘24, Fairfield) Boland, a Chipola College commit, was outstanding for Fairfield in a Friday afternoon start. Boland would go 6 innings, surrendering only 1 run while striking out 6. The righty brought electric stuff, with his fastball getting up to 89 Mph, what was truly impressive was his slider. Boland had complete control of it to both sides of the plate, with frisbee movement it would range in velocity from 77-80 mph. The Chipola commit looks to be a huge part of a Fairfield team that is spoiled with pitching talent.
