BASEBALL: Kemp orally commits to McNeese State
Published 6:32 pm Friday, June 14, 2019
Conner Kemp announced on Twitter Friday his intent to sign with McNeese State for baseball.
The left-hander went 8-5 on the season with one save and had a 1.64 ERA through the first three playoff rounds. He was the Bulldogs’ ace, often used for Game 1 of each playoff series.
Kemp finished a season in which he helped Nederland to its furthest playoff run since 2009. The Bulldogs, who finished second in District 21-5A, made it to the semifinal round of the 5A Region III playoffs against Magnolia West in May.
Kemp’s brother Chase will be a junior on Lamar’s baseball team next season.
