Whiz Kids: This Week's Is an All-Star

This week's is a pitcher and a home-run hitter.

  • Whiz Kid's Name - Carl Foltz
  • Whiz Kid's Age - 12
  • Whiz Kid's School - Ann A. Mullen Middle School
  • Whiz Kid's Accomplishment - Carl is playing for the 12-year-old Little League All-Star team from Erial. The team is heading to their first game of the state tournament this Friday. In Erial's July 11 District 14 game against Barrington, Carl hit a three-run home run and pitched all four innings of the 14-4 win. He also plays for the South Jersey Dawgs and the Ann A. Mullen Middle School team.
  • Whiz Kid's Key to Awesomeness - According to his mother, Cathy Foltz, Carl can play any position and is an extremely hard worker. "He is the class clown in school and loves to make people laugh, " says his proud mom. "But behind his humor, Carl is good-hearted and would help anyone that he could."
