Delone Catholic grad Casey Lawrence capped a terrific sophomore season at Albright College in Reading by being named to the all-Commonwealth Conference first-team.

Lawrence was stellar on the pitcher’s mound, going 4-3 with a 2.02 earned run average in 62 Ð innings of work in 10 appearances and earned one save.

He struck out 56 batters while walking just seven and opposing batters hit just.239 off of him. He even struggled getting run support as his team was shutout in all three of his losses.

Right-hander Pete Munro still hopes to pitch for the Revolution this season.

Hampered by a sharp pinching pain in the back of his shoulder when he threw, Munro was examined by team doctors earlier this month. Doctors believe the pain is caused by his shoulder capsule pushing against his labrum. Doctors recommended a stretching program, and told Munro if he didn't notice a change after stretching that he may have a tear in his labrum.

Munro has started the stretching program and threw 20 pitches away from the mound today without pain.

"Right now it feels great," he said. "I've got more range of motion."

The York Revolution re-signed a familiar name Friday, welcoming back right-handed starter Dave Gil.

Gil had an injury-plagued season with York last year, but looked impressive in his few starts. Gil may have been York's best starter last season, but he suffered cuts to his hand when he fell during a fishing trip at the end of spring training. When he returned to the mound he went 2-4 with a 3.43 ERA in nine games. He struck out 46 and walked 14. But his season ended when a line drive struck him on the foot in a start against Newark June 30, 2007.

Gil underwent surgery and had a titanium permanent plate and seven screws placed in his foot to stabilize the bone.

To make room for Gil on the 25-man roster, York placed pitcher Pete Munro -- who has not appeared in a game this season -- on the disabled list. According to Revs Director of Baseball Operations Adam Gladstone, Munro will be on the seven-day DL.

Best-selling author John Feinstein published a new book earlier this month, and you have to feel a little sorry for him.

It's called "Living on the Black: Two Pitchers, Two Teams, One Season to Remember."

He decided to follow two veteran major-league pitchers through the 2007 season, hoping that it would, indeed, be a "season to remember."

Unfortunately, the pitchers he chose were the Yankees' Mike Mussina and the Mets' Tom Glavine.

A couple of truly old blog posts here on The Lineup Card are still generating commenting traffic. It's kind of fascinating, really. They just created lives of their own and kept on ticking.

In case you're curious, one is the infamous entry from Nov. 20, 2007, about the harvesting of an albino bear cub. That one has 78 comments and counting. And the other is the "Irked about the York Young Revolution" reader letter from Nov. 19, 2007, which has 60 comments thus far.

I don't read much that's related to sports outside of the office. My brain needs a break from balls and strikes and District 3 playoff sites and, especially, Roger Clemens.

I recently wrote on our groovy Book Buzz blog, about the stuff I find myself reading these days.

Kevin Hartnett of York writes: Who was the moronic relief pitcher that started the trend to pitch from the stretch with the bases empty? There is nothing more agonizing than watching salad-tosser Jamie Walker pitch from the stretch with the bases empty. Remote control, please.

Looking for the definition of a student-athlete?

Look no further than Red Lion graduate Kelly Downs, who earned a resume full of awards during her senior season on the volleyball court at Elizabethtown College.

Downs, who co-captained the Blue Jays to a 32-7 match record and the MAC Commonwealth Conference championship, while being named conference Player of the Year.

The obvious question might have been how could Becky Rohrbaugh duplicate the amazing things she did while at Susquehannock High School.

After all, Rohrbaugh was a three-year standout on the Warriors girls’ volleyball team and was the school’s salutatorian upon her graduation in 2004, before moving on to Widener University.

The Railroad native had a terrific senior season, leading the Pride with 1,187 assists while playing all 118 games for the team which finished 16-19 in match play.

She was second on the team with 36 aces and added 282 digs. Her 2,862 career assists leave her second in Widener history in that category.

Penn State’s football recruiting has picked up steam lately, landing its third recruit since the weekend.
The latest is Derrick Thomas — another defensive back — who is from Eleanor Roosevelt High in Greenbelt, Md. — the same school as Penn State receiver Derrick Williams.
Thomas earned honorable mention all-state honors last season as a receiver and, according to Scout.com, he chose the Lions over Illinois, Maryland and Rutgers.
