Syracuse Challenger Baseball

Greetings Syracuse Challenger Baseball players, coaches, families, volunteers, friends, and sponsors:

It is with both humility and great joy that I share an absolutely amazing experience that I was fortunate to be part of: this past Tuesday, December 2, 2025, I was selected by the Syracuse Orange to perform the National Anthem 🇺🇸 prior to the start of the SU v. #12 ranked Tennessee Mens Basketball game at the JMA Wireless Dome!!! It was an exhilarating moment with my family and several friends present.

I gave my best passionate, patriotic, heart-on-sleeve performance to inspire the SU team and fans present! And we experienced a thrilling 62-60 SU win!

I wish to thank all the SU fans and Challenger Baseball families who gave my family and I high fives and congratulatory well wishes at the game and flooded my phone with wonderful text messages!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🍊🍊 Special thanks to Kristine and Finn O’Brien for sending me an awesome video of the performance!

I hope y’all enjoy this video!😀🏀🍊🙏🏻

Big thanks to Onondaga County and the team at NewsChannel 9 for helping spread the word about the county’s generous donation to Carrier Park!
