Siegel baseball standout Alex Carignan walked off MTSU's Reese Smith Field recently a winner -- in more ways than one.
He and his Siegel Stars teammates had just won the program's first-ever Class AAA state baseball title, culminating the end of an outstanding four-year career.
While some of his teammates will play college baseball at various places, as well as other friends attending colleges throughout, Carignan has chosen a different destination.
Next month, Carignan will embark on a new journey when he officially enrolls at the Air Force Academy north of Colorado Springs, Colorado.
"I leave June 28 for basic training," the catcher said.
