Coal City senior Riley Ponio won’t be retiring his bat anytime soon as he just committed to play baseball for Beloit College in Wisconsin.
Riley said it was between Joliet Junior College and Beloit but was sold on Beloit upon his first college visit.
“I was first going to go the JUCO route,” said Ponio. “But when I took my visit up to Beloit, they made it feel so much like home up there. The campus was beautiful. It really felt like a place where I could spend the next four years.”
