Grand Island continues its tradition of sending baseball players to the college level. Pitcher Eric Schwieger is the latest, as he signed a letter-of-intent on Wednesday to play at Wayne State.
Schwieger returned two weeks ago from a lengthy absence due to a shoulder injury suffered last summer. He's proven to be a big addition to the Islanders, who are looking to get things headed in the right direction before districts start up in two weeks.
Untimely errors and inconsistent pitching along with injuries have kept Grand Island from stringing together wins.
Still, Schwieger's signing is nice. Each year, a handfull of Islanders move on to the college diamonds. Whether it is Nebraska, UNK, UNO, Wayne State, the state's NAIA schools or jucos, G.I. is well-represented.
