When Florida Gulf Coast travels to Miami tonight at 6 p.m., the Eagles will be pushing hard to get a signature victory.
Really hard.
Chris Sale, the Cape’s outstanding pitcher in 2009, will get the start for FGCU against the 10th-ranked Hurricanes, despite the fact that it’s a mid-week game. FGCU doesn’t have a conference series this weekend, so with the chance for a marquee victory, Sale is getting the ball.
FGCU is in its third year as a Division I program and is eligible for postseason play for the first time. Sale was rated by Baseball America as the nation’s fifth-best college prospect.
Miami has three 2010 Cape Leaguers: Harold Martinez, Nathan Melendres and Stephen Perez.
