RedWolves notebook

The RedWolves announce the signing of two pitchers from Mercyhurst College in Erie PA. 2008 starter Steve Grife, a 6ft 180lb Jr RHP had a great season for the RedWolves in 2008 going 4-1 with a 1.65ERA and 55 strikeouts in 49 innings of work. Grife also threw a no-hitter against rival Fayetteville on June 8th. It was the third consecutive year that a Mercyhurst pitcher has thrown a no-hitter for the RedWolves, (Brian Esperson-07, John Mang-06). Grife is currently 3-0 with a 5.95ERA and 26 K's in 19 innings. Grife will be joined by teammate Nick Gillung a 6'1" 180lb So. LHP. Gillung is currently 2-0 with a 3.12ERA and 21K's in 17innings for the Lakers.

"I am very excited to have two guys from Coach Spano and Mercyhurst. I am pleased to have Grife back after his dominance in 08. He has an electric fastball, plus curveball, and a great changeup. Steve is a fierce competitor and will lead our pitching staff this summer. Gillung is another Laker that is a great addition to the pitching staff. He is a left hander with some arm strength and has command of three pitches. Nick will help us this summer in various roles." Wes Davis
