Highland's Angeloni Signs to Play Baseball at NY College

Highland senior Frank Angeloni Jr. will continue his baseball career at Concordia College.

From the moment he got to Concordia College for a visit in September, Highland senior Frank Angeloni Jr. knew it was where he wanted to continue both his education and his baseball career. On Wednesday afternoon, inside Highland's library and media center, Angeloni donned a Concordia baseball cap as he signed a national letter of intent to attend and play ball at the small Bronxville, NY, school.

Buried in an 8-1 hole against a Gloucester County Institute of Technology baseball team that had already mercy-ruled four teams this season, the forecast looked bleak for Highland Regional Thursday. The Tartans were not getting quality pitching, were making errors and were failing to get timely hits. It had the feel of a "just one of those days" type of games. But if the Tartans have learned one thing from their early-season struggles, it’s to fight to the bitter end. Highland rallied back from the deep deficit and got the tying runs on base in the bottom of the seventh inning before finally succumbing to GCIT, 12-9.
