Warrenton pitcher Eli Ecton has helped the Warriors to a 9-3 record heading into Friday’s home game against Quincy Notre Dame.

The senior hurler is second on the team in innings pitched (18), earned-run average (2.72) and wins (two), but he is quick to point to his team’s impressive record midway through the season. 

“My teammates are a huge part of my success,” he said.

At the plate, he has a .297 batting average with five RBIs.

Ecton recently sat down with The Record after being named the April Athlete of the Month.
