COLUMBUS, Ohio Pitcher Jake Hale, on the strength of a 1.32 earned run average that was third-best in the league, has been named to the all-Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League first team. Ohio State teammates Ryan Dew and Zach Hurley were each chosen for the all-GLSCL second team as outfielders.
Hale, third in the Big Ten last season with 10 saves as a sophomore, compiled a 3-2 record and allowed just five earned runs in leading Columbus to a third-place finish in the GLSCL regular season. He picked up another win in the GLSCL tournament as Columbus claimed the league crown.
Dew, Hale’s Columbus teammate, hit .320 this summer with 39 hits and 21 runs batted in. His 39 hits were fifth-best in the league. Dew hit .269 as a freshman for the Buckeyes last season.
Hurley, playing for a Cincinnati team that finished fourth in the GLSCL and advanced to the playoffs, hit .297 with 33 hits and 13 RBI. He’ll be a sophomore next season for OSU.
Some additional summer baseball notes with Ohio State ties:
- Justin Miller’s Virginia Baseball League team, the Lury Wranglers, is currently in a best-of-five series against Waynesboro for the VBL championship. Miller, who led the Buckeyes with a .417 batting average in 30 Big Ten games last season, hit .278 with 37 hits and 23 RBI this summer. He’ll be a junior this fall.
