Three Players Join Marshall Baseball Team

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Marshall University baseball head coach Jeff Waggoner has announced the signing of Mike Cavalli, Nathan Gomez and the return of Kurt Lipton to the 2010 roster.

Cavalli is a 6’8” right handed pitcher from Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill, Calif. Last season the junior college transfer posted a 6-1 record with a 3.34 ERA in 18 appearances and helped the Vikings advance to the California Community College Final Four. This past summer, Cavalli pitched for the San Jose Seals of the Pacific West Baseball League. In nine starts for the Seals, he finished with a 3-1 record, 2.72 ERA and tallied 47 strikeouts in 40 innings of work.

Gomez hails from La Salle High School in Miami, Fla. As a member of the Royal Lions, Gomez played first base, outfield and served as a left-handed pitcher. He was an honorable mention All-Miami-Dade County selection on three occasions and holds the school record for ERA in a season (1.24). In his senior season, Gomez hit .385, collected four home runs and drove in 26 runs.

Lipton, an outfielder, played two seasons at Vanderbilt prior to joining the Herd in 2008. In 2008, Lipton saw action in 47 games, making 46 starts and hitting for a .313 average. He collected 55 hits, including 18 for extra bases and tallied 37 RBI. Last season, Lipton returned to Vanderbilt to earn his undergraduate degree and did not play. He has returned to Marshall to use his fifth year of eligibility for the 2010 season.
