Saint Ignatius head baseball coach Brad Ganor informed the corner on Sunday night that Wildcats junior pitcher/outfielder Nick Longo received a great offer and has made a verbal commitment to further his education and baseball career at Miami of Ohio.

"It's exciting, because Nick is only a junior and in my years of coaching this is the earliest we have had someone be offered and commit," said Coach Ganor, who will be entering his ninth season as the Wildcats' skipper this spring.

Nick, who is among more than 50 players in Coach Ganor's program to have the opportunity to play at the next level, will follow Matt Rosinski and Alex Johnson, both stars from the state runner-up team of 2008, to Miami.

Congratulations from the corner to Nick, his family, Coach Ganor and the entire Saint Ignatius baseball program.
