DURANT, Okla. - While Southeastern baseball saw its 2020 season come to an early end, April 25 would have been senior day for Hunter Capps, Chris Eusay, and Tyler Mc­Grew and SE would like to recognize these seniors for their contributions to the program.

Below are the Senior Day bios (in numerical order) for the three SE seniors who have wrapped their playing careers with the Savage Storm.

No. 3, Hunter Capps. A utility player from Byng HS, he is a two-year member ofthe Savage Storm program after transferring in from Indian Hills CC. During his time as a member of the Savage Storm baseball team Capps saw time on the mound, at first base, second base and third base as well as designa ted hitter. Over two seasons he has 26 games played with eight starts, while adding seven appearances on the hill with a 1-0 record. He is the son of Brian and Staci Capps and is graduating this semester with a degree in Safety.

"Hunter was the ultimate teammate," said head coach Zach Crabtree, "And program first guy. He was a young man that did a lot of things to help our team and program on field, but his biggest contribution to Savage Storm baseball was his character and his integrity. I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to coach Hunter and be a small part of his story. I honestly hope my son Brewer grows up to have the character and integrity Hunter Capps has."

No. 8, Chris Eusay. An infielder from Anacoco HS in Anacoco, La. He is a three-year member of the Savage Storm program after transferring in from Southern University. This season Eusay started every game at third base and hit in the leadoff spot, while over his two seasons on the field he has played in 47 games with 42 starts with a .296 average that includes seven doubles, two triples, and three homers along with 20 RBI and 37 runs scored. He is the son of Jock and Brenda Eusay and is graduating this semester with a degree in Safety.

"Chris is a what the baseball world calls a grinder," said Crabtree. "No one out worked him, not in the weight room, not preparing, not on the practice field or during games. Chris worked extremely hard and developed into not only a really good player but an exceptional leader. Our program is a better program after having Chris here for three years. Chris is a great example of not giving up or transferring when things weren't going your way, but instead putting your head down and working harder and making things happen for yourself."

No. 14, Tyler McGrew. A pitch er from Joplin HS, he is a one-year player for the Storm after transferring from Pittsburg State . During his time as a member ofthe Savage Storm baseball team, McGrew saw time on the mound as both a starter and a reliever, making eight total appearances with two starts. He finished the year with a 1-2 record overall in 19.2 innings pitched and 12 total strikeouts. He is the son of Jason and Sarah McGrew and is graduating this semester with a degree in Criminal Justice.

"Tyler was only with us for this season," said McGrew, "We would have loved the opportunity to have him for two seasons rather than just the one, to see how much more he could have developed. Tyler was a tireless worker who put in a lot of time working on his craft. We are extremely grateful for the time, energy and effort he gave as a member of the Savage Storm."
