(WTNH) -- The Yale baseball season came to end this weekend. The Bulldogs had a tough year, but did win four of their last five games.

On Saturday it was senior day, and one player graduating is outfielder Charlie Neil.

The kid is a stud athlete.

Not only did Neil play baseball at Yale, he also played soccer.

He will leave Yale with eight letters.

It turns out Neil is just like his dad, who was also a two-sport athlete. He played soccer and baseball.

Neil and his father not only played the same sports, they also played them at the same school.

The family is from Texas and they did a lot of traveling this year to watch a number of Neil's soccer and baseball games.
