Sunday, June 18th, 2017 was cloudy and in the low 70’s on Cape Cod as the hard-throwing Taylor Williams took the mound for the first time pitching for the Brewster Whitecaps. The score was tied 2-2 in the bottom of the 5th inning at Lowell Park as the Cotuit Kettleers were coming to the plate. Williams was looking forward to his first Brewster appearance, but would only throw 12 pitches that afternoon and would not pitch again that summer.
Williams journey to Xavier University and the most prestigious summer collegiate baseball league, Cape Cod, began in Colorado.
