N.C. State played the 18 and under USA Team to a 3-3 tie last Wednesday night. Rodon pitched one inning with one strikeout: http://www.gopack.com/sports/m-basebl/spec-rel/091411aaa.html

Jake Buchanan was named the Astros minor league pitcher of the year-which i think is pretty impressive: http://www.gopack.com/sports/m-basebl/spec-rel/091611aaa.html

Hoping and it seems like Rodon is to be on the hill quickly and may even make an appearance in the starting rotation in the first weekend. Says a lot about the kid, even on our team.

Hopefully we can shore up the D and get some better hitting and make it back to the Regionals… Yea, I know, dreaming, but I can.
