nine from Orlando,
here last Friday by the score of 3 to 1. The game was full of excitement and
was hard fought by both teams until the last man was put out. Although twelve
errors were made by the two teams, very few came at critical times. The fast
infield work for the Tinker brothers for Orlando
more than made up for that teams errors.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“Buck” Robinson, Leesburg’s master pitcher, was undoubtedly “right,”
sending eleven Tiger “Lumber Slingers” to the bench via the strikeout route. Hudson for Orlando
pitched a splendid game, but failed to deliver in the pinches. The work of Ross
behind the bat for Leesburg was sensational. Not an Orlando runner stole off him and every one
that tried was easily nabbed. The two teams play in Orlando next Friday and a
large crowd of rooters is expected to accompany the team.</span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - A lion's share of credit for the <a href="http://www.gatorzone.com/baseball/history/stats/1950/1950r.htm" target="_blank">University of Florida's baseball</a> success must be dished out to Lefty Herman Wink, Junior from Leesburg, who is rapidly gaining a fine reputation as a relief hurler.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
The diminutive southpaw has been called in from the bullpen seven times this season and has proved his mettle each time. In fact, many Gator baseball followers have been tacking the name "Smokey Joe" onto Wink in comparison with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Page" target="_blank">Joe Page, popular New York Yankee reliever</a>.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Wink's main assets are a good assortment of pitches, a better than average curve, good baseball sense, fine poise on the mound and plenty of courage. He is at best under pressure, especially in the late innings of a close game. Against the <a href="http://www.bradleybraves.com/SportSelect.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=3400&SPID=1506&SPSID=25967" target="_blank">Bradley Braves</a>, in a relief role, the lefthander fanned the last three hitters in the ninth inning.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Besides his firearm duties, Wink has been taking his turn on the hill with the other regulars and to date has chalked up five victories against one loss.</div>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>LEESBURG</b>
— Projected to fill a role as a right-handed pitcher, Jake Witter
signed Friday afternoon with Lake-Sumter Community College's baseball
team.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Witter, who graduated from Leesburg High School a year ago
and was a freshman at LSCC this past year, impressed baseball coach Mike
Matulia during two tryouts in February and one in May.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> Though
not expected to be used as a starting pitcher, Witter probably will be
used in situations when the Lakers need to get outs.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="mod-orlsentarticletextwithadcpc mod-orlsentarticletext mod-articletext" id="mod-a-body-after-first-para">
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">``He is not
overpowering with his fastball, but he has good offspeed stuff and he is
always around the strike zone,'' Matulia said. ``You need to find
pitchers who can come in and throw strikes, and that is what Jake can
do.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">``When he came to the tryouts, I was looking for pitchers, and
I am not going to say he is a polished pitcher because he has a long
way to go. But he has the tools to be a good pitcher.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">How he is used is ``pretty much up to coach Matulia,'' Witter said. ``I'll play wherever or whenever he wants me to.''</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">For
Witter, who is 6 feet and weighs 190 pounds, the signing is a second
chance - an opportunity to restart a baseball career that has been on
hold for about a year.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">He didn't play his senior year in high school because of a disagreement with Leesburg coach Randy Wilson.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">``The
coach and I had some differences, but that is in the past,'' Witter
said. ``There are not many guys who don't play baseball their senior
year in high school and still get a chance to play in college. I really
feel like it is a second chance.''</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">``It [signing with LSCC) gives
me a chance to play with some of the guys I played with in high school
or I played against them,'' Witter said. ``I already know a few of the
players.''</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The Lakers' signing spree has continued in the past two
weeks. In addition to Witter, the team has also added three transfer
players from Valencia Community College, which has shut down its
athletic program.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Joining the Lakers will be right-handed hitting
shortstop Eddie Rodriquez and another right-handed pitcher, Tommy
Naddeo, both of whom played at Valencia last season and were high school
teammates at Dr. Phillips. Both of those players signed baseball
grants. The third Valencia player, former South Lake outfielder Darrell
Turner, signed an academic scholarship.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Chuck Fullen, a pitcher
from Apopka, also has signed an academic grant to LSCC and another
Apopka pitcher, David Bultema, has committed to the Lakers but has not
signed yet.</span></div>

<strong>MONTGOMERY, Ala. –</strong>
The University of Tampa baseball team finished the season where it
started as the nation’s number-one ranked team as the Spartans took a
7-2 victory over Columbus State (Ga.) University (51-19) to win their
second consecutive NCAA II national championship. The Spartans become
the first team to win consecutive titles since UT won in 1992 and 1993
as they capped off a 53-10 season.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<b>Jonathan Holt (Leesburg High School, Leesburg Florida)</b>, who was the
team’s closer for the entire season, made the surprise start and
combined his excellent start with some solid late-inning hitting to lead
the Spartans to another title.</div>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
The game began as a pitching duel,
as the first two innings went scoreless with just a hit apiece.
Columbus State scored the first lead of the game, scoring a run in the
bottom of the third on an unearned run that was a result of a Jonny
Geiger stolen base that created a throwing error on the play. Geiger
then scored on a groundout to shortstop by Kurt McKee.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
The
Spartans quickly answered, scoring a pair of runs in the top of the
fourth inning. After leaving three runners on base after three innings,
Tampa scored its first run of the championship game on a Chris Rosenbaum
double. A heady base running play by <a href="http://tampaspartans.com/profile.asp?playerID=1190">Nolan Brannon</a> allowed UT to take a 2-1 lead as he advanced home on a wild pitch.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
A
defensive miscue in the sixth by the Cougars allowed the Spartans to
extend their lead to 3-1 as Jose Jimenez crossed the plate on a wild
pitch. After reaching base on a leadoff single, Jimenez advanced to
third base on a double play before scoring the two-out run.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Tampa
extended the advantage to 4-1 in the top of the eighth on a two out
rally. Brannon got things started with a single through the left side.
Rosenbaum, hitting next, rocketed a double off the left center wall to
bring the UT lead to three runs.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />The Rosenbaum double chased CSU
starting pitcher Anthony Arrington, who pitched 7.2 innings for the
Cougars. He was relieved by Johnny Floyd, who forced a Paul Cruz
groundout to end the inning.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
The Spartans went out with a bang
with back-to-back home runs to lead off the top of the ninth. Junior
Mejia connected for his third long ball of the year on a homer to deep
left field. Troy Ferguson then came up and blasted a Floyd pitch that
cleared the wall in right center. The pair of homers chased Floyd from
the game as he was removed for Blake Norrell. Tampa then made the game
7-1 as <a href="http://tampaspartans.com/profile.asp?playerID=966">Ryan Kennedy</a> scored on a Roberto Mena base hit.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Holt
went to 4-2 on the season as he pitched a complete game. In nine
innings, he allowed just one earned run on six hits while striking out
eight. His magnificent performance included zero walks in his longest
outing of the year.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
The Spartans offense was led by Rosenbaum, who
finished 3-5 with two RBI. Brannon and Mejia each added two hits as
Mejia, Ferguson and Mena each drove in a run as well.</div>

Jonathan Holt Drafted by Cleveland Indians</h1>
<span class="dateline" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">June 7, 2007</span><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<strong>TAMPA, Fla. –</strong>
University of Tampa pitcher Jonathan Holt became the first player from
the national champion Spartans to be selected in the 2007 MLB Draft.
Holt was chosen by the Cleveland Indians in the fifth round at pick
number 167.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
A native of Leesburg, Fla., Holt was recently named
the Most Outstanding Player at the 2007 NCAA II Baseball Championships
while guiding the Spartans to their second consecutive title and fifth
in program history.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
While being a second-team ABCA/Rawlings
All-American, Holt was also named first-team all-South Region and
first-team all-Sunshine State Conference as a junior in his first season
at UT. The Seminole CC transfer and product of Leesburg High School
concluded the season with a pair of victories over Columbus State and
Cal State-Los Angeles in the championship series.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
This season,
Holt compiled an overall record of 4-2 with a team-best 1.64 ERA. In 31
appearances, he also registered 19 saves as his lone two starts of the
season came against Florida Southern in the NCAA II Regional Final and
Columbus State in the NCAA II National Championship game.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Holt
pitched a total of 66 innings this season, allowing just 42 hits while
holding opponents to a .179 batting average. While recording 79
strikeouts, he walked just four batters. His top performance was a
complete game in the championship game as he allowed just one earned run
on six hits while striking out eight and walking none.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
“We are extremely excited for Jonathan as he was deservingly a high-level pick in the draft,” says Tampa Head Coach <a href="http://tampaspartans.com/profile.asp?playerID=260">Joe Urso</a>.
“He had a tremendous season and played a major role throughout our
championship run. Jonathan is a big game pitcher who has enjoyed
ultimate success.”</div>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The Jackets show that they will be a serious threat at the plate and in the district in the 2002 campaign. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The Eagles kept the contest close until the sixth inning when the Jackets got untracked offensively scoring six runs in the inning to put the game out of reach.</span></div>
