Friday evening’s Game 2 with Kingwood Park was postponed yesterday after the tragic school shooting at the Santa Fe High School Friday morning in which 10 people were killed. 9 of those listed as killed in the shooting were students.
The series with Kingwood Park will resume at 7 PM tonight in Deer Park. Kingwood Park won Game One 4-0.
Rome Shubert, a sophomore pitcher for the Santa Fe Indians baseball team, wrote on Twitter that he was among those injured in Friday’s shooting but was OK.
“I’m so grateful and blessed that God spared my life today,” Shubert wrote on Twitter. “Today I was shot in the back of the head but i am completely okay and stable.”
In an interview with the Houston Chronicle, Shubert said he was sitting in a classroom when a shooter walked in and “tossed something on the desks behind me.” He told the newspaper that he then heard three loud pops.
“I jumped under my table and flipped it in front of me and I guess he ran out in the hall and I took off out the back door and when I was running I realized I was shot in the back of my head,” Shubert told The Houston Chronicle.
Shubert pitched six innings in Game 1 against Kingwood Park Thursday evening. He gave up 4 hits and 3 unearned runs while striking out 11 and walking only one in the loss. Shubert has made an oral commitment to the University of Houston.
Prayers and best wishes go out to the Santa Fe baseball team as they continue their series tonight after such a tragic event.
