April 14 was a good day for senior David Delugach.
Not only did he celebrate his eighteenth birthday and start on the mound for the Diamond Owls in the Pepsi Challenge, but he also signed to play baseball for the Christian Brothers University Buccaneers. The lefty currently holds the Owls’ record for pitching appearances and has been an indispensable part of the team as both a pitcher and outfielder.
“I’m really excited about playing college baseball at a great school like CBU,” Delugach said. “And staying in Memphis means my parents will have the chance to watch me play.”
Coach Marc MacMillan `92 was pleased with Delugach’s choice.
“I am very happy for David and his family,” he said. “He is a fine young man who has put a great deal of time and effort into both his academics and athletics. CBU is a great fit for David to continue his commitment of excellence in both these areas.”
