Englehardt (above) recieved YBL Player of the Week Honors

Boston, MA - It was announced this past Tuesday (5/25) that Fisher College Graduate Tom Englehardt '09 was named the Yawkey Amateur Baseball League Player of the Week for the week of May 17 - May 24.

Here is what was posted on the YBL website:

"Tom has been on a rip since the gun was sounded for the ’10 YBL season. His .538BA was good for 4th best in the YBL at week’s end.

Englehardt was 6 for 7 scoring 5 runs and knocking in 6 against the Braves (May 17) and Rockies (May 20). The Astros figured Tommy out on Sunday by keeping his bat quiet as he went 0 for 3 with a walk."

Englehardt was a stand out Baseball player here at Fisher College. He was awarded the Sunrise Conference Player of the Year three times along with being named to the NAIA All American Team twice.

On behalf of the entire Fisher College Athletic Department, we would like to extend our congratulations to Tom Englehardt and wish him continued success in the future.

ODU had to be pefect to beat Fisher

Reed (above) took the tough loss in game three

Canton, OH - It took a complete game gem by Ohio Dominican pitcher Nick Venditti to defeat Fisher College in game three of the NAIA Un-Affiliated Play In Series. Venditti tossed a perfect game. Nine innings, no hits, no walks, no one reached base.

This was the first time in the short nine year history of Fisher College that the Falcons have had a perfect game thrown against them. Freshman Casey Reed (Ossipee, NH) took the tough loss as he pitched well over his seven innings. He allowed ODU to score six runs (three earned) while scattering 10 hits.

With the loss, the Fisher College Falcons 2010 season is over. They finished with a 26-25 overall record and also captured their sixth straight Sunrise Conference title. As the calendar turns to June, everyone will be watching to see where senior Edwin Pena (Union City, NJ) goes in the upcoming Major League Baseball draft.
