“I was nervous on the on-deck circle but once I was walking to the plate, I just started to gain a little bit more confidence,” Wagner said. “Just go up there and know I’m here for a reason, and I was just trying to be aggressive.”“My dad texted me and was like, ‘Hey, we still can’t get in,’” Will Wagner said. “I was like, ‘Oh gosh, I’ve got to get them tickets.’ But we got it all figured out.”
Wagner singled with two outs in a four-run third for his first career RBI and rolled another single into right field in the fifth. All three hits to begin his career came against right-hander Davis Daniel. “Everyone, when they talk about him they say, ‘OK, he’s just a baseball player,’ and those guys usually find their way to do pretty well,” Schneider said. “A lot of contact, hits the ball hard, really smart in-game decisions.”
“When I was at Houston, in big league camp, we had Bregman, Peña and Altuve and I would talk to them every day,” Will Wagner said. “And I was like, ‘These guys are going to be Hall of Famers.’ Now I’m here and I have and Bo to talk to, too. And there is a mix of guys who are younger that I can fit in with, too. So I’m excited.”OPP investigating after 1 shot at home in CaledonTropical Storm Ernesto is headed for Puerto Rico.
