When senior Bobby Holmes takes the mound for the first time this season, Coastal Carolina coach Gary Gilmore may have the sleeve of his baseball jersey ready for alternate use.
Hopefully it’s moisture absorbent.
“It will be hard not to have tears run down my face when Holmes walks out there on the mound for the first time because that young man, as much as he has meant to us as a physical baseball player, he has meant exponentially more to us as a team leader, a guy that the coaching staff and his teammates could count on 24-7 to do all the right things,” Gilmore said.
