Tustin High baseball coach Charles Chatman sent a message to his seniors earlier this week praising their accomplishments. The team was 3-5-1 and won its only Empire League game, defeating Valencia 3-2 on March 11.

Chatman shared the message with OC Sports Zone as well:

“Seniors, I am proud to have known each of you, and I have no doubt that you will all go on to do great things. Your trust, commitment and love embody the true meaning of Tiller.

“Tradition, Integrity, Loyalty, Leadership, Excellence, Respect and Service is the acronym that we have posted our outfield fence. They are the standards that we identify with Tustin Baseball… each of you is proof that it’s possible.

“Thank you for the confidence and humility in which you have handled this travesty and the lasting legacy that you have left for the underclassmen. I’m sure I can speak for anyone that has ever worn a Tiller uniform, when I say that we are honored to have you representing us… welcome to the Tustin Baseball Fraternity! once a Tiller, always a Tiller.” 

Until next time…
Tillers Head Coach Charles Chatman

If you took pictures before the season, we would like to share team pictures of spring teams with our readers. These can be pictures of seniors or the entire team and we will run these throughout the coming months to salute the dedicated athletes of Orange County who have had their seasons cut short. Please email pictures, names of the players and some highlights to timburt@ocsportszone.com so we can share with our readers. Horizontal pictures similar in size to the one above work best. Please do not take pictures now for us.
