Congratulations to Marc Krauss!!
Records his 1st Major League Hit on June 25th, 2013.

Patrick Henry graduate and River Bandits Alum, Marc Krauss, playing for the Houston Astros, made his first Major League start Sunday, June 23rd, against the Chicago Cubs in Wrigley Field.  Marc, drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2009, recorded his 1st MLB hit (stand-up double) on Tuesday, June 25th.  See the VIDEO. 

Krauss said of his MLB debut, “It’s a dream come true, to be honest,” Krauss said in the MLB.com story. “It’s one of the most iconic places you can think of. When you think Major League Baseball, you think of Wrigley and Fenway, the history and tradition of these places. To be able to start here with the atmosphere they have, especially with these day games on the weekends, it’s pretty awesome. It’s pretty close to home, as well.  “It’s been great,” Krauss said. “It’s been a truly memorable experience and hopefully I’ll have some more memories to remember after today.”
