It was near the end of the first half of Monday’s season-opening basketball game for Heritage Christian when two moments happened that will be engraved in the memory of brothers Eli and Tae Simmons.

Craig Gordon was supposed to have played his last game for Scotland in June, but he's first choice again.

“But I would also say when you are an offensive player, when you’re a guy who is a high-level shooter, getting more extended runs and getting more minutes, you’re naturally just going to be more in the flow of the game. I think maybe I called a play or two, for him. But he just kind of got it through our offense and our passing and ball movement. So it’s just, I think the flow of the game for him is there when he gets extended runs.”

Their pitching staffs are so good with so much depth that their inevitable matchup this spring will produce a game for the ages.

In exchange for the card, the Pirates are offering two season tickets behind home plate for the next 30 years, a softball game for 30 people at PNC Park with “Pirates alumni” serving as coaches, and a spring training experience that includes a meet-and-greet event with Skenes, batting practice and warm-ups with the team, two jerseys autographed by Skenes and more.
