Congratulations to Jake Nowak. He was named all region by D3baseball.com on Monday. He was named as a utility player. I did nominate him for all conference, but he literally did not have a position and we do not recognize a "utility" guy.
Jake also ranked as the No. 1 Toughest to Strike Out in Division III. I think that one might have been on the umpire, if I recall.
Check out our release here.
Jake came back for a fifth year, and was lucky enough to go through Senior Day and the Senior Gala twice.
Proving his versatility, Jake was also the announcer for our soccer, volleyball and basketball teams, and was our department DJ. He put together our official pre-season video. He drove the van in Florida and ran our Twitter account. (I still don't know what Twitter really is). He even learned what and what not to post.
Jake played 2B, SS, 3B, DH, pitcher and catcher this year. Prior to the season, we had two catchers injured, one quit due to an internship and another relegated to DH/OF due to injuries. Apparently Jake caught some for the Lockport Buslines, so we threw him out there. All three games he caught were for Ace. Ace's personal catcher. I ran into Ace's dad at an O'Hara game yesterday, and he said he liked Jake. "A throwback that just wants to play the game." A compliment from Mr. Sciandra can be tough to come by!
