Underclassman pitchers such as freshmen Andrew Ferreira and Joey Novak and sophomores Connor Hulse, Will Keuper, Jonah Klees, and Marcus Way all had strong appearances on the mound as well...
...fellows, and professors. Every conversation I had helped me think—about mothers in China and daughters in Russia, about the bonds between people and between molecules. I thought about new ideas and old ideas in new ways. Maybe the value of having conversations is obvious even to freshmen, but it can’t be fully appreciated until the end of senior year, when one has grown as much as one can in this place.
