action at senior level he sometimes finds it difficult to go back down to the junior level When such move occurs one of two things can happen first of all the athlete can become disappointed and or he can become so determined that rapid improvement occurs and soon he is with the senior club again Former Georgetown Eagles pitcher Andrew Braun has experienced such a scenario this year The 20yearold spent the first half of the year with Stratford Hlllers of the Inter County Major Baseball League but has found himself playing a lot more with the Millers junior affiliate However thai bother Braun at all 1 wont lo get my innings in and if I complained I get them t not disappointed Braun still dresses far Hi Hers games but with eight pitchers on the team he sea as much action as he would like to Yet with the junior squad gets to pitch a lot more with only four pitchers on the roster With the Hi Hers had a season during the regular season with an earned run average of around and IB strikeouts However the ERA figure is somewhat mislead left one game In the first Inning after having given up 10 runs With the junior team Braun is and even got to pitch in the league all star game There Braun faced three batters in an Inning where he fanned two and got the other to ground out The Junior squad made the playoffs but needed a sweep of a with Thursday to do It pitched the first game and won it with a twohitter while fanning 15 again won by the Cher ho Its fanned 12 in the contest while giving up five hits I think see more action with the because of that said Dennis Schooley manager was here

the series was Monday night and Braun was Stratford starter I not nervous Braun said from his Georgetown home Monday morning I can t wait lo get out there because I pretty confident with the way I ve been pitching However if were lo pitch In a playoff game with the senior he admits he would be nervous Especially If I came In relief When you come in and there are men on base you don get that fresh start When I start a pressure game I do well However when I come Into the game after it has started I don do very The Hlllers started the year insubpar form After games the Stratford team was 7 13 and

which meant we all got a lot more rest In between starts said Also the bats came alive We were averaging close to hits a game down the stretch Playing in the InterCounty league this year has meant a different approach to pitching for When I came here I thought the hitters would be difficult and they were When I was with the Eagles I mainly used my fastball But 1 didn adjust to the better hitlers here right away I had to change my style and start throw and off speed pitches As welt as the better hitters and higher level of competition Braun has noticed other differences In playing at the
