Episode 14- It Ends So Fast
from Spiked Heaters: A Between Innings Podcast Hosted by Bryan Torresani
This week on Spiked Heaters, Torr reflects on the abrupt ending to a special 2026 season after DeSales won its NCAA Regional opener against Ramapo before falling to Salve Regina and Ramapo on Saturday. It hurt, and it ended fast — but the final day doesn’t get to tell the whole story. In this episode, Torr talks about the weight of playoff baseball, taking accountability for getting too emotional in a big moment, and the challenge of handling every decision when everything feels magnified. He also reflects on what made this group so special: a team barbecue before the regional, the Bulldogs showing up for Carson’s game, a sparkling Weiland Park, a first-class regional atmosphere, and a senior class that bought in from day one. From a late-night conversation on the field with three seniors until 3 AM, to a moment with Paige after the final out that he’ll never forget, this episode is about gratitude, grief, pride, and the truth that the ending of a season never fully captures what the season really was. The year is over. The legacy of this group is not.
