The 2013 Marietta Knights head into the NABL Tournament This Weekend Looking for Victories |
Marietta will be without Will "The Thrill" Nelson for the NABL tourney after placing him on the Disabled List with a broken thumb. Will took a pitch awkwardly to his glove hand before the first game of Saturday's double header with the North Forsyth Bandits. Clearly in pain, Will insisted he could play and caught 4 innings in the first game. Coach Rob finally took him out after he was run over and took a cleat to the face in that first game even though Will looked at Coach, covered in dirt, and said "I'm good, I can catch." Will came back in the second game to pitch 6 innings to get the win in a 1 hit shutout. After his thumb worsened over night, Will find out Monday that he had played two great games with a broken thumb. The Knights will have to do without Will's big bat, arm and leadership behind the plate for the NABL tournament but hope to get him back in time for their trip to Cooperstown.
