GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (KSNB) – This week’s 5-Star Performer is Grand Island pitcher Miles Nelson.
The junior has been clutch lately for the Islanders, pitching a near complete game during a 9-0 win against Lincoln North Star, throwing 6.2 innings against the Navigators.
Then, just a few days later, he came in relief against Elkhorn North, helping Grand Island win an extra inning thriller on the road.
“Feels really good just boosts my confidence, makes me believe in myself even more and with the guys they’ve got behind me it just feels amazing,” Nelson said of his role on the Islanders, “I‘m in relief, so I have to be ready and have a chance to go in and play, if they need me I‘m ready to go.”
Nelson also nabbed his first career hit against the Wolves, which proved to be the game-winner.
