Crowley got the Game 2 start vs. the Victoria Eagles, who were one of the top teams coming into the tournament, and he did not disappoint. Crowley attacked the zone almost exclusively with the FB that sat 76-78 T80 that got swing-and-misses in and out of the zone. Good demeanor and mentality on the mound and is a guy who wants the ball. Look for Crowley to continue to develop on the mound with his secondary stuff that will help him refine his arsenal.
