Dowling might have a good pitching staff, but they have an even better social media presence. For the second time in a week, they have gotten their player voted No. 1 in Baseball on the Island’s March Awards.
It is not to say that Cody McPartland is not deserving–his numbers certainly jump off the page. After yesterday’s seven inning outing against Queens, he is now 2-0, having thrown 27 innings, allowed only 6 ER (2.00 ERA), 20 hits, walked eight, allowed only one XBH and held the opposition to a .208 AVG.
He has done a commendable job filling in for Tyler Badamo as the ace of the Golden Lions through one month of the season.
“While losing the three starters we had last year are tough to replace, myself and a few others have stepped up to the plate and got the job done,” said the Miller Place HS grad.
McPartland really made a name for himself last summer pitching in the Hamptons League. In 54 IP, he allowed only 39 hits and compiled a 1.64 ERA with three victories.
Hi next challenge will be shutting down the top opponents in the conference while matching up against their aces–the true test for a top-of-the-rotation pitcher.
Also nominated for the award was Tyler Honahan (SBU), Jake DeCarli (LIU), Alex Brosnan (Molloy), Jonathon Mulford (AU), Tim Ingram (OW) and Josh Outsen (SJC).
