Draft Weekend Game Notes


Draft Weekend Game Notes

·         Georgia Southern University pitcher Chris Beck entered this season as a guaranteed top 20 pick in the upcoming 2012 draft, but now that his team was vastly reduced in offensive talent when OF Victor Roache went down, Beck is basically just hanging on as a possible late pick in that round. Beck came up short Friday night in a 3-2 loss to Elon. He did complete his outing, but game up 4-R, while striking out eight. His seasonal record fell to 1-2 and his ERA is still high at 4.33.

·         Ringgold H.S. (GA.) ace, Mathew Crownover, is scheduled for season ending surgery next Friday. An MRI revealed a tear in his pitching elbow.


·         New Mexico (4-9) starter Austin House just doesn’t have any luck. He went into Saturday’s game against Gonzaga 0-3, threw up nine scoreless innings, but was pulled with his Lobos tied 1-1. They eventually won, but House remains winless for the season, with a 3.95 ERA.

·         Stat Lines:

o   South Carolina RHP Matt Price – 6.0-IP, 4-H, 1-R, 6-K, 3.10
o   Florida LHP Brian Johnson – 6.0-IP, 3-ER, 6-K, 0-BB, 4.21
o   Stanford LHP Brett Mooneyham – 6.0-IP, 3-ER, 9-K, 4-BB, 2.33
o   New Mexico RHP Austin House – 9.0-IP, 0-ER, 7-K, 1-BB, 3.95
