Four Lord Botetourt High graduates were in the midst of playing collegiate baseball when the pandemic struck and wiped out the rest of the season.
Ryan Fralin is a senior outfielder on the Concord University team. He started all 10 games in the outfield for the Mountain Lions, including a game against Wingate where he had three hits and drove in three runs.
Fralin was looking forward to a big season after earning second team All-Mountain East Conference honors as a junior. He was named the MEC Player of the Week once and NCBWA Regional Hitter of the Week during the 2019 season, when he batted .387.
