Arm Injury Sidelines Manley
May 7, 2012 - West Coast League (WCL)
Corvallis Knights News Release
An arm injury will prevent Linfield College junior right-handed pitcher Zach Manley from playing with the Corvallis Knights this summer, the team announced Monday.
A native of Coburg who graduated from Sheldon High School, Manley was 3-1 with a 3.62 ERA and 39 strikeouts in 32.1 innings for the Wildcats. He has not pitched since April 6, when he defeated Pacific Lutheran 6-2 in his sixth and final start of the spring.
"I am very disappointed that this has happened because I have been looking forward to playing for the Knights for some time now," Manley said. "I've talked to [Linfield coach Scott] Brosius and he also thinks shutting it down until fall is the way to go."
The Knights also announced that freshman infielder Jack Graham of Youngstown State will play elsewhere this summer, closer to his hometown of Cranberry Township, Penn. He was hitting .153 in 32 games, with no homers and nine RBIs, for the Penguins.
Knights' signee Marc Gallegos, a freshman shortstop at Corban College, was named to the NAIA West all-star team and the NAIA West Gold Glove team, as announced by the Cascade Collegiate Conference.
A native of Astoria, Gallegos hit .346, with no homers and 25 RBIs in 48 games, with 33 steals in 40 attempts. He struck out just eight times in 223 plate appearances.
The Knights open their sixth season in Corvallis on June 1 at Walla Walla. Their home opener is June 5 against the Klamath Falls Gems.
