YSU's Dosch to Start in Cape Cod All-Star Game

Drew Dosch has been named the starting designated hitter for the West Division in the Cape Cod Baseball League All-Star Game, which will take place on Saturday.

Dosch has had a very solid season for the Falmouth Commodores in the Cape Cod League, which is widely regarded as one of the top summer leagues in the country. He is currently batting .317 with five home runs, 18 RBIs and 19 runs scored while ranking 15th in the circuit in slugging percentage. Dosch, who will be a junior in the Penguins' 2013 season, was named the league's Coca Cola Player of the Week on July 4.

The All-Star game will be played at Whitehouse Field in Harwich, Mass., with first pitch set for 6:05 p.m. The game will be televised on Fox College Sports.

TWO MORE PENGUINS IN ALL-STAR GAMES

YSU pitchers Nic Manuppelli and Kevin McCulloh have already participated in all-star events.

Manuppelli was named to the all-star team in the New England League and struck out all three batters he faced in the ninth inning of the all-star game. Manuppelli, pitching for the Laconia Muskrats, leads the New England League with his eight saves in 12 appearances. He has struck out 17 batters while walking five in 11 innings. Manuppelli will be a junior in 2013.

McCulloh, a Valley League all-star for the Rockbridge Rapids, ranks second in the league with six savs. The Boardman High graduate has 28 strikeouts and five walks in 19 2-3 innings while posting a 3.20 ERA. McCulloh, a senior in the 2013 season, also has earned two victories in his 16 appearances.
