Navy Reserve Lt. Mitch Harris recorded his first Major League Baseball victory and became the first Naval Academy grad to win a major league game Tuesday night as the Cardinals beat the Chicago Cubs 7-4 in St. Louis.
Harris held the Cubs scoreless in the sixth. In the bottom half of the inning, the Cards scored two runs, earning Harris the win.
“I know that my story is a little different, but I don’t want to be any more different than anybody else. To me, it’s just like [it would be] for anybody else. It’s my first win, and I’m excited. We’ll celebrate later on when we do bigger things,” Harris said after the game, reported MLB.com.
