You’re
going to read a lot about Duke’s Marcus Stroman today. The Duke righthander struck out 17 George
Washington batters… in seven innings.

There
was an interesting game in Div2 play earlier this week. Seton Hall and LeMoyne
combined for 13 home runs in the Hall’s 17-16 victory. I don’t have enough ink
left to type out the list of players that jumped in here. Wait a minute, this
isn’t a typewriter… do they still make carbon paper?
We have to get the Mets to draft this kid.
I can hear the announcer now: “there’s a groundball to Giuseppe, who throws it
to Valentino at first, backed up by Johnny Pants”.

SS Giuseppe Papaccio led the Seton Hall Pirates over Wright
State, 11-4. I managed to catch up with “G” online and he took us through his
three-hit game:
"Today we
played Wright State at UVA in the first game of a tournament. I’m the Seton Hall Pirates junior starting
shortstop, number 2. I went 3-5 with an RBI
and 3 singles. I hit the second pitch of
my first at bat for a line drive RBI single up the middle to score a run from
second and I eventually scored in the second inning. My second at-bat I singled to left field and,
in my third at-bat, I singled to short center field and moved Chase Gray to
third. I popped out and struck out in my
last two at bats. I only made one play
defensively in one attempt."

Atlantic’s No. 2 starting pitcher Jeremy Strawn out
for the season - tear in his Latisimus tendon.

A
scout on Alex Bregman: Bregman has starred in High School as catcher
and shortstop: "Right now we think of him as more of a second baseman”.

Arkansas’s
Ryne Stanek just might be next year’s number
pick in the draft. His line and speed check is below. For the season, he’s now
3-0 with a 1.59 ERA, Remember this name.

State beat Winthrop 9-4. Winthrop is 1-9 for the season. It’s also the school
my granddaughter is going to next year. Sigh. I got talk to Gio.

Still think Stroman is too small to succeed at the next level?
ReplyDeleteI called that one, didn't I?
