AIKEN, SC - The South Coast League of Professional Baseball is pleased to announce that Aiken Foxhounds outfielder Scott Houin has been signed by the Milwaukee Brewers.

A centerfielder from Colorado Springs, Colo., Houin earned All-America honorable mention honors in 2007, his only year at Mount Olive University.

Houin hit 11 home runs, batted .322 and was ranked nationally with nine triples during his lone campaign with the Trojans.

When asked about how the South Coast League has changed him as a player, Houin had this to say about his experiences:

"Coach Bando and Anthony Telford really helped me out with my life and moving on in baseball," shared Houin. "I am learning new things about myself to prepare me for the next level."

Houin will travel to Phoenix, AZ this weekend and play with the Arizona Brewers in the Rookie League for the remainder of 2007.
