Cats in Summer League Baseball

Martin just went in 10th round #291 overall to Seattle.

Only SoCon guys have seen are GSU's Howard went in 3rd round 82nd overall to Colorado and UNCG's Povse also went in 3rd #102 overall to Braves. If Howard was available when Braves picked they were gonna take him and pay over slot so he should get a good pay day. #82 has slotted just over $690k. Not bad

Rd 10 is last round for today and will finish 11-40 tomorrow. Hopefully Null will go soon so he can get decent $.

The Hi-Toms in the Coastal Plain League played the Florence Red Wolves in Florence, SC last night. Catamount Dale Uruqhart, Jr. plays for the Hi-Toms.

Dale Jr. DH'd last night and had a pretty good night. 1-3 (solid single to LF) and HBP. Scored both times he reached base. In fact, he scored the winning run.

Game was tied 4-4 in the 7th inning. Dale "took one for the team" and was on base when a HR left the yard. Final score was 6-4.

Dale Jr's parents came down from Fayetteville to see the game. Those who attend very many Catamount games know Dale & Tammy. It was good to see them again.

Last night on FoxSports South, the California Summer League All-Star game was televised. Jacob Hoyle was the starting 1B for the North All-Stars. I saw Jacob bat twice (4-3 groundout & an RBI single to RF). Watched until the 5th inning and the North was leading 3-2... (I think...) I started to nod off and just gave up and went to bed.

Jacob is having a great summer with the San Luis Obispo Blues. Batting .325; leading all batters with 25 RBI's.

SLO Blues are in second place in their division with a 19-9 record.
