2007 Hometown Philly All-Star & All-Rookie Selections

Former Catholic, Inter-Ac and Public League players peppered the lineups at the collegiate level once again. In all, 173 players were on season opening rosters, representing 80 different institutes of higher learning. There was success stories at every level, with many being recognized by their respective conferences. The second annual Hometown Philly Awards include First-Team, Second-Team, Honorable Mention, and All-Rookie selections. Players who were 2006 Hometown Philly choices are noted in bold blue. Still to come is the final posting for this season. It will include season stats for all players (where available). Yeah, football and basketball get all the notice, and that's probably the way it should be. This is just my way of getting recognition for these student-athletes, who are all very deserving. As always, thanks Ted, on behalf of everyone who uses and enjoys tedsilary.com

for week ending May 20, 2007

MATT DALEY

GWYNEDD-MERCY

(ROMAN CATHOLIC)

HT: 6-3 WT: 195 SR RH PITCHER

PHILADELPHIA, PA

Although Gwynedd-Mercy was eliminated in the NCAA Tournament Mid-Atlantic Regional, they would have never gotten that far without the playoff heroics of Matt Daley. The senior started against Frostburg in the tournament opener, allowing one run in five innings. Pitching with just two days rest, Matt pitched 5.2 innings of scoreless relief and notched the win against The College of New Jersey. In those games, he allowed one run in 10.2 innings (0.84 ERA), with four strikeouts. For his efforts, Daley was selected to the Mid-Atlantic Tournament All-Region Team. The Griffins earned their NCAA bid by winning the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference championship. Daley went 8.2 innings for the win eliminating Arcadia, on Gwynedd-Mercy's road the PAC championship, their third overall and first since 2001. For the season, Daley finished with a 5-1 record in nine games. Matt and senior teammate Josh Thomas end their career tied as the winningest pitchers in Griffins history with 18 victories apiece. The Roman Catholic High grad was selected as a First-Team All-Catholic pitcher in 2003. Joining Matt as First-Team Southern Division pitchers in 2003, were a pair of athletes who recently concluded outstanding college careers: Frank Gailey, Archbishop Carroll (West Chester), and Mike Antonini, Cardinal O' Hara (19th-ranked Georgia College and State).

JOHN MALLOY

La SALLE UNIVERSITY

(CONWELL-EGAN)

HT: 5-10 WT: 170 OUTFIELDER

FAIRLESS HILLS, PA

John Malloy capped off a fantastic, record-setting season in style, batting .400 (8-20) in the Explorers final four games of the season. Highlights of the week included his 3-for-3 season finale performance at Fordham, and hitting his first collegiate home run, a two-run shot at St. Peter's. John started his college career off with a bang, as he had a school-record 24-game hit streak. It was also an A-10 freshman record, and fell just one game short of the all-time A-10 hitting streak. After going hitless against Saint Louis on April 7, John went on to hit in the next 13 consecutive games. He established two new single-season freshman records at LaSalle: hits (69) and doubles (17). John finished the season batting .327 in 48 games, and led the Explorers in games, hits, at bats, and doubles. He was named to the Atlantic Ten All-Rookie Team. During the season, he was chosen A-10 Rookie of the Week four times. This is John's second selection as Hometown Philly Rookie of the Week. He was previously cited for the week ending March 18. Malloy was a first-team All-Catholic selection as Conwell-Egan won the Catholic League championship last season.

Hometown Philly's Player of the Week
for week ending May 13, 2007

MIKE LORENTSON

PENN STATE

(MALVERN PREP)

HT: 6-3 WT: 185 SOPH LH PITCHER

SPRINGFIELD, PA

The fortunes of Penn State baseball took a dramatic U-turn midway into this season. The Nittany Lions appeared headed toward their fourth losing season in the last six years. However, coach Robbie Wine's squad has won 15 of their last 20 games overall, and are 14-4 in the Big Ten during that span. Sophomore reliever Mike Lorentson is also experiencing good times. After sitting out last year as a medical redshirt, he started this season with an 0-1 record and a 5.68 ERA in his first seven games. Both he and the Lions really took off during the second half of the season. In his last six appearances, Mike has a 3-0 record with a 2.35 ERA. He has allowed just 4 hits in 7.2 innings. Penn State already has secured a spot in the Big Ten tournament, and will host Ohio State for four games during the final weekend of the regular season.

Mike was a Coaches All Inter-Ac selection at Malvern Prep in 2003 and 2004. The lefty was drafted in the 38th round by the San Diego Padres in the 2004 Major League Amateur Draft. Prior to attending Penn State, Mike played at Cochise Junior College for one season.

MATT ZIELINSKI

UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND

(La SALLE COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL)

HT: 6-3 WT: 200 LH PITCHER

SOUTHAMPTON, PA

For the second time this season, Matt Zielinski is the Hometown Philly Rookie of the Week. In his most recent outing, Matt pitched his first collegiate complete-game, earning a 3-1 win against Massachusetts. In his nine innings, Zielinski allowed six hits, and one earned run, to improve his season record to 5-3, with a team-leading 3.55 ERA in 12 games (11 starts). Before the halfway point of the season, the freshman became the Spiders' go-to guy. He usually gets the important assignment of starting against Atlantic 10 rivals, and is slated to pitch this weekend when the Spiders travel to the Main Line to play the Saint Joseph's Hawks. Matt is sure to have a big rooting section for him at Elmwood Park. Game times are Saturday at 11am, and Sunday at noon. Richmond needs only one win against St. Joe's (9-34) to clinch a tournament berth. With a sweep and some luck, the Spiders could secure one of the top two seeds, which would give them a first-round bye in the upcoming A-10 playoffs, this year hosted by Dayton.

Matt was a first Team All-Catholic as a junior and senior at La Salle College High School, and finished his high school career with a 1.57 ERA.

6'0" 215 lbs
SENIOR FIRST BASEMAN - MARLTON, NJ

He hit a grand slam vs. Sacred Heart, and finished the week with 10 RBI, five runs scored and five doubles. Smith's performance enabled him to break school career records for runs scored (115), RBI (126) and total bases (174) in the Division I era at Mount St. Mary's.

(GERMANTOWN ACADEMY)

6'3" 180 lbs
OUTFIELDER - LANSDALE, PA
When the Middlebury Panthers opened their season with an eleven-game stretch in Phoenix, Erich Enns was officially listed as an infielder-outfielder. The freshman appeared at third base, left field, right field and DH in the first seven games, but since March 30th, has been solidly entrenched as the starting center fielder. Since that time, Middlebury has an 11-6 overall record. With the postseason nearing, and Middlebury chasing the final playoff spot in their division, Enns and his teammates busted out last week. They won all five games, improving their season record to 14-10, and 7-5 in the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC). In the five games, Erich hit .467 (7-15), with six runs, five RBI, three doubles, one triple, and a .600 on-base percentage. This season, he is second on the team in batting average (.385), RBI (21), BB (18), OB% (.518), SLG% (.569). He is the team co-leader with eight doubles and two triples. Erich's high school teammate, Mark Shimrock, is a sophomore at Middlebury, hitting .267 in 23 games.

In 2006, Germantown Academy won their third Inter-Ac title in four seasons. Eric was named to the First Team All Inter-Academic League, and the Philadelphia Daily News All-City Third Team. Erich had the game-winning, two-out single in a big come-behind win against Chestnut Hill Academy in the league opener.

SOPHOMORE OUTFIELDER - GLENOLDEN, PA
It is now two weeks in a row that a Gloucester County College transfer has been selected as Hometown Philly Player of the Week. Last week, Dale Curry from Alvernia College was named, and this week's honor goes to his former teammate, Sean Barksdale, who batted .563 (9-16) in five games, with 6 RBI and a .619 on-base pct.

Last week, Sean collected three more multi-hit games, giving him 16 for the season. During the hit streak, he batted .485 (32-66), with a .566 OB%, including three 3-hit games, and seven 2-hit games.

Barksdale's season stats (thru 4/26): 36 G, leads Temple with 5 HR, 30 RBI, .556 SLG %, .452 OB%, 7 HBP, 11 steals.

Sean was the 2005 Catholic League MVP as a senior at O'Hara, and was a Philadelphia Daily News First Team All-City selection. Also First Team All-Catholic League and All-City in football and First-Team All-Catholic in track.

RYAN CASSIDY
KUTZTOWN (ARCHBISHOP WOOD)

6'4" 210 lbs
LH PITCHER - LANGHORNE, PA
To say the Kutztown Golden Bears are on a roll is an understatement. They have won ten straight and 23 of their last 24 games. Ranked #3 in Division II with a 39-3 record, Kutztown has clinched the top seed in the upcoming Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) playoffs. Coach Chris Blum hopes Ryan Cassidy can perform in the playoffs, if called upon. In the last week, Ryan appeared twice. He tossed a perfect inning against Felician College in an 8-3 win. The next day, he entered the game in the fourth inning as Kutztown was trailing Bloomsburg, 5-3. Ryan went on to pitch four shutout innings, allowing two hits with one walk and three strikeouts. Kutztown rallied for three runs in the bottom of the seventh to make Cassidy the winning pitcher. Ryan has appeared in nine games this season, eight in relief. He sports a 2-0 record, with a 2.16 ERA. Ryan was a second-team Coaches' All-Catholic selection in 2005 for Archbishop Wood.

DALE CURRY

ALVERNIA COLLEGE (FATHER JUDGE)

6'0" 205 lbs
JUNIOR CATCHER - PHILADELPHIA, PA
Prior to losing a doubleheader against Wesley College last Saturday, Alvernia had won 13 of its previous 14 games, putting them in a solid position to be one of the four seeds advancing to the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference playoffs. One of the key contributors during this stretch was Philly native Dale Curry. Playing for the Crusaders in college as well as in high school at Judge, Dale is batting an impressive .337, which is only fifth on his team. In a conference with a combined .300 batting average, Alvernia is hitting .319, third behind Wesley and Gwynedd-Mercy. In 7 games last week, Dale hit .429 (12-28), with 5 doubles, 2 HR, 10 RBI and 8 runs. He hit a slam in a 25-1 pasting of Eastern, and a solo HR in a 13-12 win vs DeSales.

DANNY OVERCASH
DELAWARE (GERMANTOWN ACADEMY) 6'0" 188 lbs
OUTFIELD - WYNDMOOR, PA
Patience paid off for Danny Overcash. After sitting out last season as a redshirt, his playing time was limited early in this season for the Blue Hens, who were starting a veteran outfield. Danny appeared in only eight of UD's first 16 games, with eleven official at bats. But as often happens in sports, an injury (to starter Dan Richardson) opened the door. Danny took advantage of his playing time, and has been in the lineup ever since. Last week in four games, he hit .333 (6-18), and stroked two home runs. He extended his hitting streak to nine games, also batting .333 (13-39). He has hit five home runs during his streak. Danny was a four-sport athlete at Germantown Academy (baseball, basketball, soccer and football), and an honor roll student as well.

Honorable Mention:

Hometown Philly's Player of the Week
for week ending April 8, 2007

TOM DOLAN

TEMPLE (ARCHBISHOP RYAN) 6'0" 185 lbs
JUNIOR LH PITCHER - BENSALEM, PA
Although Tom is in his third full season with the Owls, this is the first time he has concentrated solely on his pitching, and if his last few starts are any indication, he is certainly heading in the right direction. In game one of Temple's doubleheader sweep at Dayton on Sunday, Tom notched his fourth win of the season, shattering his career-high with 16 strikeouts. He had a no-hitter through 6.1 innings. His final line: 8 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 16 K. Coming into this season, his personal best was 8 K's in a game (vs Penn and UMass in 2006). Two weeks ago, he posted nine strikeouts (vs UMass). Tom has thrown at least eight innings in his last four weekend starts and allowed just four earned runs over his past 36 innings (1.00 ERA). Season stats: 9 G, 8 GS, 4-2, 1.80 ERA, 55 IP, 45 H, 10 BB, 46 K, .223 OPP BA. Tom was selected to the Coaches' All-Catholic Team as a soph, junior and senior at Archbishop Ryan.

Note: Dolan has just been named a National Player of the Week by Collegiate Baseball, the nation's oldest college baseball poll, in publication since 1957.

for week ending April 8, 2007
BRETT DiFELICE
GEORGIA COLLEGE & STATE (CHESTNUT HILL ACADEMY) 5'7" 165 lbs
OUTFIELD - PHILADELPHIA, PA
Brett has earned increased playing time, and has contributed for the powerhouse Bobcats, the #8 team in the D-II polls. He hit safely in all five games last week: .750 (8-12), 3 BB, 5 RBI, 5 R. For the season he has appeared in 19 games, starting seven: .432 BA (16 hits, all singles), 16 RBI, 10 R, .522 OBP.

Hometown Philly's Player of the Week
for week ending April 1, 2007
ANTHONY CAPELLA

GWYNEDD-MERCY (ROMAN CATHOLIC) 6'1" 200 lbs
SENIOR OUTFIELDER - PHILADELPHIA, PA
Coming into this season, Anthony Capella was already in the Gwynedd-Mercy record books, as the school's all-time leader in triples (12) and RBI (107). Before the end of this season, he will be the Griffins' career leader in several other categories, most notably, hits, doubles and runs. He had a productive stat-filled week in his last 7 games, batting .400 (10-25). In three of those games against Marywood (2 wins, 1 loss), Capella batted .556 (5-9) with three homers and six RBI. He homered in each of the three games. After a slow start in his first five games, the senior outfielder has been on a roll, hitting .353 in his last nine. Anthony has a career .338 batting average, and helped Gwynedd-Mercy reach the 2006 Pennsylvania Athletic Conference title game, before bowing to Alvernia, the 8-time conference champions. This is his third selection as Hometown Philly Player of the Week. (3/19/06, 5/7/06, 4/1/07)

Hometown Philly's Rookie of the Week
for week ending April 1, 2007
MATT ZIELINSKI
RICHMOND (LaSALLE HS) 6'3" 200 lbs
LH PITCHER - SOUTHAMPTON, PA
It didn't take long for Matt Zielinski to become the most dependable starter on the Richmond Spiders. His first three starts resulted in two losses and a no decision. In his last four, all quality starts, he has a 3-0 record, with a 3.00 ERA, and fanned 30 in 24 innings, while walking only five. On the season, he has held his opposing batters to a paltry .218 average. For a freshman to get the starting assignment in the series opener against Xavier, with first place in the A-10 on the line, is quite an achievement. In his most recent outing against George Washington U, Zielinski pitched seven shutout innings, allowing five hits and striking out a career-high 10, while earning the win, and Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week honors. Matt was a first Team All-Catholic as a junior and senior at La Salle College High School. On June 17, 2005, he was the starting and winning pitcher as the Catholic League won the Carpenter Cup championship at Citizens Bank Ballpark.
Honorable Mention:
Ryan Buch, Monmouth (Conwell-Egan) 8.2, 4 H, 2 ER, 3 K in win vs Liberty (4-0 record)

Hometown Philly's Player of the Week
for week ending March 25, 2007
PETE VERNON
WILLIAM & MARY (GERMANTOWN ACADEMY) 6'1" 190 lbs
JUNIOR LH PITCHER - FORT WASHINGTON, PA
Dependable, durable and versatile ... these traits have made Pete Vernon the workhorse of the William & Mary pitching staff. Last week was a perfect example. In a CAA road contest at James Madison, Pete relieved high school teammate Sean Grieve in the 5th inning. He went on to pitch the final five innings to record the win, his team-leading fourth of the season. Just two days later, Vernon went the final 2.1 innings to preserve another conference win over JMU. Pete has appeared in 12 of the Tribe's last 15 games, finishing nine. With 18 appearances on the season, he has a chance to break his own school record of 32 games pitched, which he established last season. As a high school senior, he sported a 4-1 record, with an absurd ERA of 0.17.

Honorable Mention:
Tom Dolan, Temple jr LHP (Archbishop Ryan) 3rd win of season (vs Delaware), lost to UMass: 8.2 IP, 1 ER, 9 K

Two weeks earlier, he was selected as NEC Rookie of the Week. Season numbers: 3-0, 1.86 ERA, 19 IP, 12 H, 26 K.

College baseball and ice storms in March! Not a good mix. The goofy weather wreaked havoc on all the teams not playing in warmer locales. But the first month still provided some unexpected results. Penn State baseball is off to a rough start, but the Lions were still able to defeat host North Carolina, the #1 team in D-1 at the time. How about Philadelphia U beating the #2 team in Division II, Georgia College and State? Hartford, with local John Coury (St. Joe's Prep) on the roster, snapped a 6-game losing streak and beat 14th ranked Oklahoma State, on the road, for the Hawks' first win against a ranked opponent EVER. So here's hoping for sunnier and drier skies, and lots and lots of baseball.
