WALDRIP SIGNS WITH JACKSONVILLE

2009 North Shore Navigator, Ben Waldrip (Cypress JC, Los Angeles) has signed a scholarship with Jacksonville State University in Alabama. Waldrip will join the reigning 4 time Ohio Valley Conference Champions for the 2011 season. Waldrip, a 2009 NECBL All Star joins a Jacksonville program that is on the rise nationally with players such as Ben Tootle, Todd Cunningham, Kyle Bluestein and Sam Eberle garnering national attention, with Tootle having been selected in the 3rd Round of the MLB Draft; Cunningham being named the Cape Cod League's top major league prospect, and Bluestein and Eberle being named Louisville Slugger Freshmen All Americans in 2009.

Last June, Jacksonville State’s Ben Tootle was selected as the 101st overall pick in the 2009 Major League Baseball first-year player draft by the Minnesota Twins during the third round on Tuesday.Tootle becomes the fourth Gamecock player to be drafted in the third round or higher and the first since Bill White was taken as the 99th overall pick by the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2000. He was the first player from an Alabama college taken in this year’s draft.“I’m very excited about the opportunity to play for the Minnesota Twins,” Tootle said Tuesday night. “I was expecting to be picked somewhere between the first and third rounds and got picked in the third round, so I’m pretty happy with that.”

Current Gamecock, Jacksonville State Junior, Todd Cunningham has been listed as the No. 20 College Baseball prospect for the 2010 Major League Baseball Draft, Baseball America recently announced.Cunningham, a native of Jacksonville, led the prestigious Cape Cod League with a .378 batting average after playing for the Falmouth Commodores. He also led the league in hits (59) and on-base percentage (.458) after winning the batting title by 36 points.The junior outfielder was second in the Cape in runs scored (31) and slugging percentage (.500), while posting 12 extra-base hits with 22 RBI and also drew 19 walks to post a .458 on-base percentage.Cunningham hit a scorching .427 in July to earn the Cape Cod Player of the Month award. He was also selected to play in the Cape Cod All-Star Game, where his diving catch in centerfield was named as one of the Top 10 plays on ESPN’s SportsCenter on July 23rd.The rising junior won the Thurmon Munson Batting Championship for the Cape, which includes previous winners such as Jason Varitek (1993), Chuck Knoblauch (1988), Paul O’Neill (1975), Pete Rose (1974) and Thurman Munson (1967).Along with winning the batting title, Cunningham also was voted the Cape Cod League’s Outstanding Pro Prospect by the Major League Baseball scouts.

Jacksonville State’s Kyle Bluestein and Sam Eberle were both named to the Louisville Slugger Freshmen All-American Baseball Team by Collegiate Baseball on Wednesday.It marks the first time in school history the Gamecocks had two players earn Freshman All-America honors and the fifth straight season a JSU player has been named to the Freshman All-America squad.“This is an outstanding honor for both Kyle and Sam,” said JSU head coach Jim Case. “They both played a tremendous role in the success of our team this year and I’m proud they were recognized for their accomplishments this season.”Bluestein became the third Jacksonville State player to earn the OVC Freshman of the Year award last month. The Cincinnati, Ohio, native led the team with a .393 batting average with 21 doubles, nine home runs and 46 RBI. He was named to the OVC All-Newcomer team and also to the 2009 OVC All-Tournament squad after helping the Gamecocks advance to the OVC title game for the fifth time in six years.Eberle lead the Gamecocks with 11 home runs and finished with season with 45 RBI. He was named to the OVC All-Newcomer team and also to the 2009 OVC All-Tournament team.

6 NAVS make NECBL ALL - STARS - 4 to start

NECBL-BEST FOUR NAVIGATORS CHOSEN AS ALL STAR GAME STARTERS
LYNN, MA (July 14, 2009) – Six players, including a league-high four starters and the designated closer, will represent the North Shore Navigators in the 2009 NECBL All Star Game. First baseman Ben Waldrip, second baseman Patrick Brady, outfielder Tre Dennis, and pitcher Mike Gallo will start at their respective positions for the NECBL East Division All Star Team, while Chris Kowalski will be the designated closer and Jeff Tardiff will pitch in relief.
The 2009 NECBL All Star Game will be played on Saturday, July 18, at MacKenzie Stadium in Holyoke, Massachusetts. The Navigators moved from Holyoke to Lynn for the 2008 season, after playing their home games at MacKenzie Stadium as the Holyoke Giants for three years.
Ben Waldrip, out of Saint Anselm College, recently completed his freshman season, in which he hit .394 with three home runs and 27 RBI and earned Northeast-10 All-Rookie Team honors. Waldrip, a 6’6’’ first baseman from Medford, MA, is hitting .309 with one home run and 11 RBI with the Navigators. Most memorably, Waldrip hit a game-tying two-run home run in the ninth inning at Lowell on June 28 before providing the go-ahead RBI single in the 11th inning.
Patrick Brady, the second baseman from Lexington, Kentucky, will enter his senior year at Bellarmine University this fall. Brady, who was the 2008 Great Lakes Valley Conference Player of the Year, is in the top three in the NECBL in hits and total bases. He is hitting at an astounding .354 clip and leads the Navigators with two home runs and 19 RBI. Brady has tallied 10 multi-hit games, and earned NECBL Player of the Week honors from June 4 - June 14.
Tre Dennis, the Chula Vista, California native out of Long Beach State University, has started each game this season for North Shore as the center-fielder and the lead-off hitter. Dennis has currently hit safely in his last 16 games, raising his batting average to .311 this season with eight RBI. Dennis leads the Navigators with 24 runs scored, 17 walks, a .416 on-base percentage, and 11 stolen bases. Dennis is tied for the NECBL lead in runs scored as well.
Mike Gallo returned to the Navigators after helping the 2008 team to a 26-16 record and a playoff berth in their inaugural season in Lynn. Gallo’s first start in 2009 was record-shattering, as the hard-throwing righty from Milligan College and Peabody, MA struck out a franchise-high 15 batters against the Manchester Silkworms. Gallo, who is 3-1 with a 1.39 ERA to lead all North Shore starting pitchers, will get the start for the NECBL East Division All Star Team.
Chris Kowalski, the Boston College product out of Dorchester, MA, earned the designated closer role for the East Division by leading the NECBL in saves through the first half of the season. Kowalski is 1-1 with a 0.98 ERA in 15 appearances this season, and is currently tied for the league lead with six saves. Kowalski, who threw 3.1 scoreless innings in Boston College’s 25-inning marathon loss to Texas, has allowed only one earned run since opening night on June 4.
Jeff Tardiff, the strikeout leader on the North Shore Navigators pitching staff, will be a middle inning pitcher in the All Star Game. Tardiff, a Framingham, MA native out of Le Moyne College, is fourth in the NECBL with 37 strikeouts in 38.0 innings, in which Tardiff is 3-2 with a 1.42 ERA. Tardiff was also selected to play on the 28-man NECBL All Star Team, which lost 5-2 against the USA Baseball National Team on July 5 in Manchester, New Hampshire.

Markovitz Shines in Birthday Tribute

FATE BRINGS US TO THE COLLISIONS IN LIFE.....FREE WILL DETERMINES WHAT WE'LL LOOK LIKE AFTER THE CRASH...MARKOVITZ BRILLIANT IN BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE

There are those rare moments in life when FATE & FREE WILL COLLIDE & when they do the person in the middle of that collision is called upon to ask themselves ARE YOU THE ONE?

Last night in Lynn was one of those such moments, and when Long Beach State's Jason Markovitz stood in the center of it all on the mound and was asked that question, his answer was a resounding YES. On a night when the Navigators and the Massachusetts ALS Chapter partnered to help strike out ALS, Markovitz delivered a resounding K'O to ALS and the Lowell All Americans, but far more poignantly wrapped a gem of a complete game shutout into a Birthday Present for his mom.

Fate would have it that Markovitz was scheduled to start on his late mother's birthday, Jason's free will delivered a remarkably poised performance in what had to be an extremely emotional evening for the southpaw from California. Striking out six and yielding only 1 walk, Markovitz was poised beyond his years & gave his mom a gift for the ages.
