On Tuesday,
July 20 in the Northwoods League All-Star Game, Valparaiso
University junior outfielder Kyle Gaedele (Arlington Heights,
Ill./Rolling Meadows H.S.) and senior catcher Robbie Robinson (Brea,
Calif./Olinda H.S.) each had impressive performances.
Robinson started the game
catching for the North Division as his team won 7-5. Robinson finished the game 1-for-1 with two
walks. Gaedele led the South Division at
the plate as the designated hitter, going 3-for-4 with a run scored and an
RBI. He also stole a base. Earlier in the evening, Gaedele hit a total
of six home runs to advance to the final round in the 2010 Northwoods League Home
Run Derby. However, Gaedele fell one
homer short in the finals against Duluth’s
Mark Threlkeld (Louisiana Tech) to finish runner-up.
In other action, Jon Gulbransen (Appleton,
Wis./Fox Valley Lutheran H.S.)
continues to impress in the Great Lakes Collegiate League as he threw four
scoreless innings on July 20 for the Licking County Settlers. The Settlers currently sit at 21-8 on the
season and are ranked 12th nationally in the top summer collegiate teams by
Perfect Game. Gulbransen is 3-1 with a
2.84 ERA.
