Former Sonoma State pitcher Daniel Barone tossed a complete game three-hitter on Thursday for the Albuquerque Isotopes over the Portland Beavers. The Isotopes are the Triple-A affiliate of the Florida Marlins.
Barone has battled a bad back this season, but looks to be returning to his 2007 form. Last season, after a tremendous minor league stretch, Barone was called up to the major leagues, where he pitched very well for the Marlins. A member of the Seawolves' 2004 NCAA West Regional runner-up squad, Barone became just the second player in school history to play in the Major Leagues. The first? That would be SSU Hall of Famer Marshall Brant, who appeared in a few games in the early 1980s.
With nine former Seawolves currently playing in major league organizations (by far the most in the CCAA), it's only a matter of time before SSU has another of their own in the "big show".
