DENVER — Camden Ross is the most passionate ball player we have seen in this entire preps season.
The Broomfield senior kicked off the 2022 Class 5A state baseball championship to an absolutely electric beginning.
A lead-off walk, followed by a single set Camden, the 3-hitter for the Eagles up with two teammates on and no outs in the top of the first inning.
Camden has swag. Ross launched a three-run home run over the right-field fence as the Broomfield side of the stands went absolutely berserk, as did Camden.
Ross was not pitched to for the rest of the game, he was pegged, and then intentionally walked twice. Still, he brought incredible energy throughout the game as the Eagles stepped up and won the championship game.
Ross ends his season with a batting average of .627 and a batting average of .726.
Scotty Gange told Broomfield left-fielder Cole Lacrue he was hoping to interview the team as a whole, with Camden front and center. Lacrue grabbed the squad and they walked over, thinking it was simply a post-game championship interview.
The swaggy surprise sent the Eagles into a frenzy, watch the video above to see the team enjoy the moment and Camden be rightfully recognized for his greatness.
This is the first-ever swag chain won by a Broomfield Eagle.
