Central Michigan and
Georgia State Athletes Join Dukes
Pitchers Jake Sabol and Adam Knight Join Dukes Staff
April 29, 2008) The
Pittsfield Dukes added two right arms to their pitching staff as
they bring in Jake Sabol from Central Michigan and Adam Knight from
Georgia State..
Jake Sabol, a Redshirt Junior from Shelby Twp, Mich comes to
Pittsfield, MA to join the Dukes Pitching Staff. The 65 right
hander sat out his first year in 2007 but in 2008 is getting his
chance to show what hes got. So far Jake has been seeing a lot of
time in the relief role as he finished four games for the Chippewas.
Before attending Central Michigan Jake earned Varsity Letters in
Baseball and Basketball winning district championships in both
sports. Studying Sports Science, Jake aspires to be a head baseball
coach or General Managers for a baseball team.
Assistant Coach for the Chippewas, Mike Villano has nothing but
promising things to say about Jake. Jake is a really great kid and
has a tremendous work ethic. He is a late bloomer, coming out of
high school, not recruited, and now throwing in the mid to upper
80s, Jake is getting better everyday [he takes the mound].
Georgia State is also representing the Dukes Pitching staff with the
addition of Adam Knight. Knight the right hander from Ringgold, GA
has pitched well so far for the Panthers and looking to throw even
better for the Dukes. This year the 66 presence has appeared in 13
games which is tied for third on the team. He started in four of his
appearances. One of his starts resulted in a complete game against
Alabama A&M, giving up only two Earned Runs and compiling four punch
outs. Knight has a 2-3 record but has 30 strike outs in 28 innings
or work.
