DREW PALEN PHOTO GALLERIES media_icon_photogallery.gif 2009 INSIDE THE COACH'S BOX

Strong showing against Mount St. Mary's (4/15) featured two scoreless frames with a career-high four strikeouts ... Impressive in season-opener, tossing a scoreless ninth inning with a strikeout against St. John's (2/20).

SCOTTSDALE COMMUNITY COLLEGE: Appeared in 30 games in 2008, throwing 58 innings while allowing just 14 earned runs, good for a 2.17 ERA ... Also had a 4-2 record and seven saves ...
