The last time Brett Kerry was on the mound for an official game was March 10 in a 10-1 South Carolina victory over The Citadel.
The pandemic caused the cancellation of the 2020 season and with the Cape Cod League and other summer leagues around the country cancelled, Kerry is approaching his assignment with the Lexington County Blowfish as a chance to make up for lost time.
The rising junior for the Gamecock was on the mound for the season opener at the Lexington County Baseball Stadium. Kerry had three strikeouts as the Blowfish opened the 2020 season with a 14-2 win over the Bomb Island Bombers.
As far as what lies ahead for Kerry, there is an opening for a Friday night starter for the Gamecocks with the departure of Carmen Mlodzinski who is now in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization. Mlodzinksi admits that is a goal of his and he says he will use his summer with the Blowfish to help him to get ready for what he hopes is a big junior season at Founders Park.
