I recently changed jobs so haven't viewed the web in several months. I look forward to reading & catching up with posters.
As a follow-up to this thread from infielddad's post of March 9, 2005, I
closed with the following relating to Dalton's first start:

find a program and coaches ready to teach and show an interest in their program ready to learn & work hard at it. God is in control of the rest.
Dalton wrapped up his freshman year at Hardin-Simmons University and I wish to share God's blessing in my son's baseball life. I first must share that his baseball year was one that he will never forget, thanks to God's grace, Coach Coleman, a great team and assistant coaching staff. A special thanks to all the parents and especially the senior players who encouraged my son thru-out the year and played hard. The following are a few highlights:
NCAA-DIII, nationally ranked #12 with 1.48 ERA with 60+ innings pitched.
Named 2005 ASC Baseball Championship All-Tournament Team, 0.00 ERA
Two (2) complete 9 inning game wins including:
Pitched 3rd and deciding 1st round game giving up one un-earned run vs University of Texas-Dallas
Pitched 1st collegiate shutout vs previously # 23 nationally ranked
East Texas Baptist Univ. helping HSU reach the ASC Tournament
Championship Game.
Named 2005 All-ASC West Team, Honorable Mention
ASC West-Division Pitcher of the Week, April 11, 2005
4 Wins, 2 Losses & 1 save(vs, at time, nationally ranked #17 Texas
Lutheran-later ranked #10)
Zero (0) homeruns allowed.
I pray my son continues to compete in a manner that honors GOD and he continues to search for GOD's guidance and strength when on the mound and in life.
GOD is truly in control. Win or Lose.
