Brewers starters combine to throw no-hitter

On April 15, 1987, when I was 17 years old and a junior at Winnebago Lutheran Academy in Fond du Lac, Wis., Juan Nieves, a Brewers pitcher, threw a no-hitter. It has taken the Brewers over 34 years to throw another one, but on Sept. 11, 2021, Corbin Burnes and Josh Hader combined to throw the team’s second no-hitter.

Reaching excellence in what you do usually takes work, time, and determination to achieve your goals. The Brewers are an example of this.

Here at Lakeside, we strive to cultivate excellence in all that we do, whether it be as staff or students, whether in academics, athletics, arts, or service–anything we put our time and efforts toward. It’s a worthwhile endeavor that can bring satisfaction to ourselves and glory to our God.

Even so, it is important to know that our greatest goal is not to teach our students to be perfect in all they do, but to rely on the ONE that achieved that perfection for us. Because of God’s perfection in keeping all of His promises to us, and Jesus’ perfection in this life that secures our salvation, we are winners for this life as well as in eternity.

Two no-hitters from my team in my lifetime seems like heaven. Eternal life, secured by our Savior, really IS heaven, the only thing that really matters in the end.

Ask me about my best pitch.
