We’ve told you about Batesville High product Bryan Hoeing still working his way back toward the big leagues– last weekend he put together a 2-hitter for the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, part of the Marlins’ organization, with a pair of strikeouts as well. It was his second straight relief victory. Some locals tell us they’re hoping Bryan will be available to the big league Marlins when they visit the Reds just before the All-Star break, the 12th thru 14th of this month.
Another former Bulldog, Zach Britton, is also out there in pro baseball, batting .285 over his last 5 games for Double-A New Hampshire, a Toronto Blue Jays club. Over that 5-game stretch, Zach’s also got 6 RBI’s, 2 doubles, and a home run.
