Brandon Dorsett was the winning pitcher for the Bluefield BlueJays in his professional debut late Saturday night.
A former Rex, Indiana State and Terre Haute North player, the younger Dorsett entered Bluefield’s home game vs. Johnson City in the eighth inning with a 4-3 lead.
Dorsett allowed an unearned run in the eighth, then pitched a scoreless ninth, earning the victory as Bluefield plated a run in the bottom of the ninth to win, 5-4, in walk-off fashion.
“Getting a win in his first outing, it doesn’t come any sweeter than that,” Brian Dorsett said. “[Brandon] was really high on the feeling he was having. We’re overly elated for him.”
Dorsett was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Toronto BlueJays soon after Major League Baseball’s player draft earlier this month.
