The Strasburg Express of the Valley League had 6 former players drafted yesterday-Ben Verlander, ODU, 14th round to Detroit, Joe Bennie, East Stroudsburg, 28th round to Oakland, Kevin Herget, Kean, 39th round, Alex Haines, Seton Hill, 33rd to Rockies, Cam Griffin, Stetson, 23rd round to Pirates, and Austin Chrismon, Christopher Newport, 26th round to Houston. And at last night's game, our crowd gave a huge roar to the announcement that Austin Chrismon was heading for Houston, so he will be our first signee. This summer ball thing is a lot of work but night's like last night make it all worthwhile. (Except for the a light failure, Internet broadcast connection glitch, and our scorekeepers battling a new system, it was a perfect night.)

Very cool. That's a great league. I was assistant coach for Waynesboro in about 1990. We won the championship on a walk-off homer "Truck" Brown hit off his college roomate. NC-STate's Elliot Avent was our head coach.
