Garden City, Kan (westernkansasnews.com)-College is often a time of transition for most kids. For Tyler Alitz, it was a massive transformation.
Ninth-year Garden City baseball coach Chris Finnegan watched a kid who was shy and didn’t talk much morph into the guy that everyone spoke about; the type of metamorphosis that is the epitome of what college life is all about.
Alitz was killed in a car crash near Concorida Wednesday night. Finnegan sat down with sports director Mike Pilosof to remember his shortstop.
