Straight heat

Props to Plattsburgh State reliever Billy Davis, the SUNYAC pitcher of the week.
Davis saved five of Plattsburgh's six wins. The five saves established a Plattsburgh single-season record while giving Davis 12 for his career, also a program benchmark.
We already have a soft spot for him, though, for his classic letter to my employer about his Wiffle ball prowess.
I think I should've been featured instead of the less talented Joe Nord. This supposedly great pitcher needs multiple pitches to get hitters out. I need only one to dominate: straight heat.
That's what we in the industry call great copy.
