Heath product Clint Tilford made his professional baseball debut over the weekend for the Casper Ghosts (I'm not making it up) in the rookie-level Northwest League. Tilford, a pitcher drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the 31st round after spending three years at the University of Kentucky, worked three innings, allowing two hits and one earned run with one walk and four strikeouts. He also picked up the win in relief.
Former Murray State lefty Daniel Calhoun has been very good in his first two outings, allowing just one hit in six scoreless innings for the Batavia Muckdogs (not making that one up, either), the Cardinals' rookie-level team in the New York-Penn League.
Brandon Braboy, another Heath graduate, is having a good season for Charleston, the Yankees' entry in the low-Class A South Atlantic League. Braboy is 2-1 with a 2.89 ERA in relief, has allowed just 35 hits in 43 2/3 innings and has an impressive 41-9 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
Mike Broadway, the former Pope County star, is struggling at Myrtle Beach, the Braves' high-Class A team in the Carolina League. Broadway is 1-7 with a 6.98 ERA with 23 walks and 22 strikeouts and 38 hits allowed in 29 2/3 innings.
St. Mary products Shawn and Eric Roof are in the Detroit Tigers organization. Shawn Roof, who played collegiately at Illinois, is playing shortstop at Double-A Erie, hitting .259 with 14 RBI and three stolen bases in 116 at-bats. Eric Roof, drafted as a catcher out of Michigan State, is 1-for-13 with two RBI for Oneonta of the New York-Penn League.
