Bluejays Raced Around the Basepaths
The Perry baseball team had a team On Base Percentage of .343 as they went 11-19 last season. The offense had a down year, but when the Bluejays reached base they saw success. Perry was able to steal 42 of 48 chances this most recent season. Owen Myers used his elite speed to swipe a team high 24. The junior was caught just three times. 24 steals by Myers is the most in nearly a decade by a Bluejay. He ranks 23rd in the state out of 3A athletes ahead of the State Tournament. Geren Kenney stole 7 bases for second on the team. Drake Levan chipped in going four for four in stolen base attempts. Perry will hope to reach base more often next year which should lead to more stolen base opportunities.
