As much as we admire their skills on the ball field, it's the skills in the classroom that
will define their careers.

Heidelberg got not only one but three ALL-AMERICANS: 

1ST TEAM
RICARDO LIZCANO
WILLIE BRECHUN

THIRD TEAM
ANDY LOWE

Gramps is very proud of these young men, but not only them, for in the eyes of
the Berg fans, the entire team is an ALL-AMERICAN TEAM.

[Gramps]

WOW!!!  And the Honors just keep coming for this TEAM.

MID-EAST REGION "PLAYER OF THE YEAR" -- RICARDO LIZCANO

MID-EAST REGION "CO-PITCHER OF THE YEAR" -- ANDY LOWE

They have both turned in awesome years. Bob Lowe and Pete Lizcano

Awards that their sons have earned this year.

congrats to the HEID guys for all those awards; they are well deserved!

hey GRAMPS, any chance a few other OAC guys were named last night at the ABCA banquet???  I can't find any links yet, but I'm hoping our league had a few more  All-Americans!!!

MIDEASTFAN2, been looking half the night and all morning and haven't found a link yet.  As soon as I find one, I'll be sure to post it.
From what I have seen in the OAC this year, there is no doubt in my mind that there are more AA.

[Gramps]

I finally found the list.   Enjoy!!!

No other OAC guys.  Johnson and Van Horn on 3rd team are the only other OH guys it looks like.  I was kind of pulling for Dan Jones, but he won the national Gold Glove at catcher so that's good.

Here's a story about Ricky Lizcano.  Be sure to check out the audio of Coach Palm's interview with Chris Webb from Buckeye State Baseball at the end of the story too.

Haven't been on these boards for a while, but thought I would share this.  Four Capital recruits played in the OHSAA State tournament recently and had really good showings.

Looks like Coach Grice is targeting quality kids from winning programs and is really trying to rebuild Capital baseball.

[Dr. Acula]

Coach Grice hit the recruiting trail hard.  He barely had any time to recruit before last school year and he still managed to bring in 3 kids that ended up starting for him.  They have almost everyone back next season, but I wouldn't be surprised to see multiple freshmen starting again.  Hoying will be in the rotation for sure.  It's going to take a few years to build the depth, but he is definitely moving in the right direction.

Just posted on the Heidelberg website: New Asst Coach for hitters & Infield will be Shaun Pfeil, an alumni of W&J U, where he was an outstanding 3rd baseman. Check out his qualifications at:

Also added to the coaching staff is Keith Theis whose duties will be named at a later date.

On behalf of the Baseball Fans of The Berg, I'd like to extend our deepest sympathy to the family of "Coach Bendo" Bendekovic, an asst football coach at the Berg.  Coach Bendo was an ardent supporter of the baseball team and was seen at many games.
