June 4, 2002 Caron Signs With Baseball Cougars Jeff Caron, a 6-foot-3-inch left-handed pitcher from Chester, has signed a national letter of intent to play baseball for Southern Illinois University Edwardsville next season. Caron, an all-Conference selection and Most Valuable Player for Chester High School this past season, helped Coach Jeff Kordy's team to the sectional semifinals. "We think he is going to have a great future," said SIUE Coach Gary Collins. "We expect him to be able to pitch for us right away." Caron tossed three shutouts in his senior season, including a no-hitter against Red Bud. In that game, Caron, who ended the season with an 8-4 record, struck out 16 batters against Red Bud. In his next outing, the southpaw fanned 18 St. Genevieve (Mo.) batters. "We're excited to get him here at SIUE," said Collins. -siue cougars- |
