The Savio Baseball team capped an exciting season by watching a Round Rock Express baseball game in style. Nyle Maxwell was gracious enough to allow the team to celebrate in the Maxwell Suite and take a behind the scenes tour of the clubhouse and the batting cages with the General manager, George King. They spent the evening enjoying all the food they could eat. Reid Ryan (Nolan Ryan’s son) even came in to say congrats to the boys. Way to go Savio Baseball!!
