FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) - East Noble grad Brayden Risedorph pitched at Parkview Field a few times in high school, and he returned to downtown Fort Wayne this week, in the early stages of his professional career. Risedorph said the ballpark always seemed massive when he was a kid, but neither the field, nor the moment, was too big for the 21-year-old righty on Wednesday night. Risedorph pitched the final inning of a 5-0 win over the TinCaps. He allowed one walk with one strikeout.
