Sometimes, it’s the little things that make a big difference.
It is the first week of baseball practice and Austin senior Cody Petersen is already agreeing to give a younger teammate a ride home. Petersen has never hit a home run or pitched a perfect game, but he has delivered behind the scenes in a big way for the Packers, and he’ll be one of the core leaders this spring for a team that graduated a bulk of its lineup. Austin head baseball coach Jacob Nelson said that Petersen has already gone out of his way to welcome the freshmen to the program.
