Northern Section alum. Congrats Ethan!!
Ethan Lay from small town Colusa and son of Colusa High athletic director/baseball coach Eric Lay just got picked in the sixth round of the MLB Draft by the Twins. Ethan also from Sacramento State and was one of state's top small school players when playing for his dad.

I'll say this. Colusa's 2022 team was so dominant (33-1, lost in the state championship), and Ethan Lay's numbers were so eye-popping, as were his teammate Luke Kalfsbeek's, it was one of the big reasons I wanted to start calculating DIGS for high school. Lay led NorCal in WAR.

When I was a kid, the Twins drafted Kyle Lohse (Hamilton City native), which was the coolest thing ever to me. I wrote him a letter & got back signed cards & a handwritten note from his wife. Now, Ethan Lay will inspire other kids from NorCal small towns!

Only two players in the greater Sacramento area were picked in the Major League Baseball draft, both from ⁦@SacStBaseball⁩ Has Sacramento dried up baseball wise? No. But the draft has changed sacbee.com/sports/article316…

Keep stacking good days E!!
From a town of about 6,000 people in Colusa… to hearing from MLB teams Sacramento State pitcher Ethan Lay is turning heads in the WAC and drawing national attention this season. β€œTalking to these teams… you see the logo and it’s surreal." (@SacStBaseball @FOX40) ✍️shorturl.at/ElVjV

The Hornets are one of the more befuddling teams in the nation. @SacStBaseball is somehow under .500 despite having wins over the leaders of the Big Ten, Big 12, Atlantic 10, Big East, Big South and Mountain West conferences and took a series at last year's national champs.
Final: @SacStBaseball defeats #Nevada, 13-7, to sweep season series. Jakob Poturnak: 2-3, 2 R, 2B, HR, 5 RBI, BB. Erick Dessens: 3-4, 4 R, RBI, BB. Nate Snakenborg: 2-4, 2B, 3 RBI, BB.
