ATHENS, Ga. – He may have been behind Troy’s dugout Sunday, but Bobby Spitulski swears next year he will be in it trying to help the Trojans to another NCAA Tournament berth.
“I’ll be out there, ready to go,” the freshman from Oviedo, Fla . , said before the Trojans faced host Georgia in the Athens Regional early Sunday.
It’s that same determination, that same matter-of-factness that has carried Spitulski through a difficult journey and to this point.
As his family returned from a Christmas vacation on January 2, the Spitulski family’s vehicle collided with a white truck.
