The last time Marc Kaiser and James Holcomb played together was the state championship game in 1999. Both pitched for the Huskies, and when they were not on the mound, Holcomb played third base and Kaiser played mainly right field.
Seven years later both have pushed themselves to compete in the minor leagues. They both faced one another for the first time at the professional level this past Wednesday, April 19. Kaiser earned the win giving up three earned runs in six innings of work. Holcomb gave up one earned run over 3.1 innings pitched. This was Kaiser’s first Double-A win.
