6/18/2013-The Blizzard will lose their leading hitter this week when Kyle Richardson, OF, retires from pro baseball and begins his medical studies at SUNY UPSTATE in Syracuse, NY. At the time of his retirement, Richardson was hitting .408, good enough for seventh place in the Pecos League. And he leaves as the leagues leading basestealer, swiping 19 bags in 22 attempts. Previously, he had played at St. Johns University and had gone with the Red Storm to the SuperRegionals last year. We wish Dr. Kyle all the best and thank him for his contributions to the Flakes!
