MAC Baseball Players making the most of the summer

Before vacation I talked about how Ryan Mace of Kent was owing in the summer leagues, as the weeks wear on more and more MAC players are getting noticed. Buffalo and Western Michigan both have numerous players representing them in various summer all star games.

Buffalo: Third Baseman Jacob Rosenbeck one of 15 UB players seeing action this summer was named Most Valuable Player of the New England Collegiate Baseball League All-Star Game. His two hits and game tying RBI were enough to secure the honor.

In 32 games with the Holyoke Blue Sox his .311 batting average is ties him for second on the team, he is joined on the Blue Sox by fellow Bull Rob Lawler.

The Melville Millionaires of the Western Major Baseball league also have two UB players in Kevin Crumb (second on the team with his 3.83 ERA) and Brian Lattanzi.

Western Michigan: The Bronco's put up four All Star players in their respective leagues. Casey Webber received his first all-star nomination while Chris Lewis, Kyle Galbraith and Brian Stroud repeated as all-stars for the second summer in a row.

The Chillicothe Paints were fortunate to have first year Bronco Casey Webber who ranks third in the Prospect League with a 0.98 ERA (four earned runs in 36.2 innings pitched) and 50 strikeouts. On July 11, Webber fanned 14 batters in a seven-inning, complete game effort.

The Battle Creek Bombers (Northwoods League) Have Chris Lewis who is batting .333 with 35 RBIs (second best in the league for both categories).
