...AND THEY WERE TEAMMATES

DIAMOND DAWGS: Omaha RHP Eric Cerantola and St. Paul LHP Christian MacLeod spent their collegiate careers together on Mississippi State's pitching staff. Cerantola and MacLeod were freshman when the Bulldogs competed in the 2019 Men's College World Series. The team returned to the MCWS in 2021 and won the program's first National Championship. Later that year, the pair were both selected in the 5th round of the 2021 MLB Draft, Cerantola 139th overall by the Royals and MacLeod 159th overall by the Twins.

SURF CITY USA

Omaha 1B/OF Nick Pratto and St. Paul RHP Noah Davis both hail from Huntington Beach, California. The pair attended Huntington Beach High School, and while they never played together, Davis graduated in 2015, just one year before Pratto transferred to join the Oilers baseball team. During his time at HBHS, Pratto earned Sunset League Player of the Year accolades and was a multi-season All-County selection.
