The Boise Hawks, a Pioneer League team based in Boise, have seen another player move up to the MLB. Brandon Nigh, an infielder for the team, has been called up to the Houston Astros. Nigh, who spent four years playing for the Golden Grizzlies at Oakland University, was surprised by the team’s coach with the news that his contract had been purchased.

Local Player Achieves MLB Dream

This is not the first time a Boise Hawks player has been called up to the MLB. Last week, Ben Wilmes was brought up to the Colorado Rockies, and earlier, Max Jung-Goldberg was drafted to the Savannah Bananas. The Boise Hawks are a beloved part of the local community, and their games are always a fun summer activity.
