Two months after breaking his hand, Hunter Bruno got one more opportunity to pitch in Camas Papermaker uniform Wednesday.
He was one of four Camas High School seniors playing in the Southwest Washington All-Star Baseball Series at Propstra Park, in Vancouver. Bruno, Jared Bentley, Liam Fitzpatrick and Tucker Parker were on the National League team together.
“It was definitely a good feeling to put the uniform on one more time for my senior year,” Bruno said. “I’ve been itching to get back out there on the mound. It’s been a long road to recovery with my hand.”
Bruno broke his hand when he collided with a teammate trying to catch a ball in the outfield before a game on March 30.
“It was a really bad break, so it took longer to recover,” he said. “I did everything I could to keep my arm strong.”
