Former Patriot Juan Perez a Promising Minor-League Prospect

Former Central Florida pitcher Juan Perez has emerged as a lights-out closer for the Asheville Tourists, the Class A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies.

A 6-0, 190-pound righthander out of Orlando, Perez followed his tenure at CF with a standout season at Bethune-Cookman, where in 2010 he earned first-team All-Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference honors and set a new single-season school record with 10 saves. Last June, the Rockies selected him in the 18th round of the MLB draft.

Perez flashed promise in his first minor-league assignment later in 2010, posting a 3-1 record and 2.60 ERA in 21 appearances for the Casper Ghosts, Colorado's rookie league outfit. He graduated to the Class A Tourists for 2011 and has enjoyed continued success, racking up 3 wins and 3 saves and posting a 1.80 ERA in 10 innings of work across 8 appearances.

CF's Bradley Goodson to Play at College of Charleston

Patriots infielder Bradley Goodson will continue his promising career at NCAA Division I program College of Charleston.

A versatile infielder out of Jacksonville Providence, Goodson has distinguished himself as a sure-handed defender and a consistent producer at the plate in his two years as a Patriot, posting a batting average of better than .300 each season.

Charleston finished 44-19 overall and 22-8 in the Southern Conference last year while advancing to the NCAA regional tournament. The Cougars own a 24-15 record in 2011 through Friday.

Goodson is not the first middle infielder to follow the path from CF to CofC, as former Patriots second baseman Jesse Mesa is finishing up his senior year with the Cougars. He joins South Carolina signee Casey Smit as 2011 Patriot sophomores to earn Division I scholarships.

Patriots sophomore pitcher Cody Lewis has signed with NCAA Division II program Florida Tech, joining a distinguished group of CF baseball alumni to compete in the tough Sunshine State Conference.

A 6-3 righthander out of Naples Palmetto Ridge, Lewis has been one of CF's most reliable options on the mound throughout his two years as a Patriot, posting a 7-1 record and striking out a remarkable 101 batters in 78 innings pitched. He owns a 3.45 ERA in 2011, tops among CF starters.

Central Florida's baseball postseason hopes were mathematically dashed Monday with an 8-2 loss at FSC-Jacksonville.

With the defeat, CF (20-32-1, 9-13 Mid-Florida Conference) will be unable to catch St. Johns River for the MFC's second and final state tournament berth. At 12-8, the Vikings will finish with no more than 12 losses. Lake-Sumter and Daytona State also remain in contention for the playoff spot.

The Patriots' season comes to an end this week with home dates against Santa Fe on Wednesday and SJR on Friday. Each game starts at 3 p.m. at Goodlett Field.

CF Patriots 5, Santa Fe 2; Santa Fe 13, CF 2 (Softball)

Central Florida celebrated its softball Sophomore Day on Saturday with a rousing 5-2 win over rival Santa Fe.

Sophomore Jessica Knight and Miranda Anderson hit back-to-back home runs in the sixth inning to break a 2-2 tie and launch a celebration that provided a cathartic final act to a frustrating season. Knight, the dangerous power hitter who doubles as the team's pitching ace, retired the Saints without incident in the seventh to finish off a complete-game victory.

Trailing 2-1 entering the fifth inning, a Patriots team determined to end its season on a positive note manufactured the tying run. Sophomore Megan David delivered the timely hit, sending a bloop single to left that plated Anderson from second base.

Kasie Cheney led off the sixth with a single, and she advanced to third on consecutive sacrifice bunts. But the sputtering rally received a jolt when Knight turned on the first pitch she saw and smashed it well over the fence in left-centerfield, allowing the Patriots' versatile leader to circle the bases and soak in the cheers reigning down from the fans, family, friends and teammates gathered for the occasion. The euphoria only grew when Anderson, the team's freshman power-hitting phenom, knocked a nearly-identical home run to cap the game-winning 2-out outburst.

The Patriots lost the second game of the doubleheader 13-2 as Anderson added her second home run of the afternoon.

CF (15-42, 3-19 MFC) hosts St. Johns River on Monday in a makeup of a doubleheader postponed by weather.

Daytona State 18, CF Patriots 8 (Baseball)

Central Florida absorbed a discouraging 18-8 loss to Daytona State on Saturday that moved the Patriots to the edge of elimination from postseason contention.

With the setback, CF (20-31-1, 9-12 Mid-Florida Conference) is a loss or St. Johns River victory away from being mathematically eliminated from the postseason race. The top two MFC finishers advance to the state tournament.

Bradley Goodson and Nick Radomski had back-to-back home runs to lead a strong Patriot effort at the plate.

The Patriots complete the 2011 spring season with a three-game week, starting Monday at FSC-Jacksonville. CF hosts Santa Fe on Wednesday and St. Johns River on Friday, each at 3 p.m. at Goodlett Field.

Pasco-Hernando 5, CF Patriots 0 (Baseball)

Central Florida took a 5-0 non-conference loss at Pasco-Hernando on Friday. The loss dropped the Patriots to 20-30-1 entering the final week of the regular season.

Of greater import is Saturday's Mid-Florida Conference matchup with Daytona State, set for 1 p.m. at Goodlett Field. The Patriots need a win to keep their dwindling postseason hopes alive, especially considering second-place St. Johns River's win at Santa Fe on Friday. The Vikings' victory makes them 12-8, a full 3 games ahead of 9-11 CF with just 4 games remaining. Lake-Sumter and Daytona are also involved in the MFC scrum, in which the second-place finisher will join runaway champ Santa Fe at the state tournament in Lakeland.

CF Patriots 8, Seminole 7 (Baseball)

Central Florida furthered its postseason hopes Monday at Goodlett Field with a 7-6 win over Seminole that featured 2 late-inning comebacks and an unusual deciding play.

Trailing 6-5 entering the eighth, Christian Coburn rocketed a line drive just fair down the third-base line for a standup double, and advanced to third on a wild pitch. After working the count full, Bradley Goodson drove the freshman home and tied the game at 6 with a sharp single to left field. Josh Whitchurch capped the rally with a towering 2-out fly ball to center that found a spot on the grass just shy of the warning track, scoring Goodson for the go-ahead run.

A persistent Seminole squad scored in the top of the ninth to tie the game again and force a second Patriot response.

Nick Radomski started that effort with a leadoff single, and moved up a base on a bunt single by Yoenny Gonzalez. Casey Smit followed with a 1-out single to load the bases. Coburn, this time finishing off the rally rather than sparking it, calmly drew a walk on 4 straight pitches to bring pinch-runner Brandin Barroso home from third and end the game with a walk-off base on balls.

The Patriots (19-28-1, 9-10 MFC) stayed in the thick of the race for the MFC's second and final state tournament berth with the win. They visit Lake-Sumter on Wednesday, then return to Goodlett Field to host Daytona State on Saturday at 1 p.m.

CF Patriots 9, St. Johns River 6 (Baseball)

Central Florida made significant headway in its pursuit of a postseason berth on Friday, gaining a game on second-place St. Johns River with a 9-6 win on the Vikings' home field in Palatka.

The Patriots fell behind 4-0 through 4 innings but scored 5 over the next 2 innings to pull ahead. Nick Radomski went 4-for-4 with a double and 3 RBI, Scott Schaub had 2 hits and 3 runs, Dane Moore had a hit and 2 RBI and Cole Miraglia added 2 hits and 2 runs scored.

Kyle Bright got a workmanlike win on the mound, yielding 6 hits and striking out 5 over 6 1/3 innings. Bullpen ace Kyle Leja recorded a long-form save in picking up the final 8 outs.

The win moves CF (18-27-1, 8-9 Mid-Florida Conference) to within a half-game of the 8-8 Vikings for the MFC's second and final postseason slot, though Lake-Sumter and Daytona State are also in play for the bid.

Santa Fe 5, CF Patriots 3 (Baseball)

Central Florida came up short at first-place Santa Fe on Wednesday, dropping a Mid-Florida Conference baseball game by a score of 5-3.

Bradley Goodson had 2 hits and scored 2 runs and Scott Schaub had 2 RBI to lead CF, which scored 2 runs in the eighth inning to take a final shot at a streaking Saints team threatening to run away with the conference crown.

The setback ended the Patriots' own four-game win streak, and damages their hopes of securing one of the two state tournament berths allotted the MFC. CF (17-27-1, 7-9 MFC) remains tangled among Daytona State, Lake-Sumter and Seminole in back of frontrunning Santa Fe and second-place St. Johns River. The Patriots have an opportunity to gain ground on SJR when they visit Palatka on Friday.

CF Sharpshooter Miljanic Selects Lynn

Two-year Central Florida hoops star Slobodan Miljanic will stay in-state to continue his collegiate career. The Patriot sharpshooter has committed to play at Lynn University, an NCAA Division II program in Boca Raton.

Miljanic scored 13.7 points per game and shot 44 percent from 3-point range in 2010-11 while helping the Patriots to a second consecutive FCCAA State Tournament berth. The team's only returning sophomore, the Montenegro native emerged as a leader for the new-look squad as CF recaptured the Mid-Florida Conference title.

Miljanic will be a welcome addition at Lynn. The Fighting Knights finished 7-20, including a 5-11 record in the Sunshine State Conference, in a disappointing 2010-11 season. Despite those struggles, Lynn has been a consistent winning program under tenured head coach Scott McMillin, including a national semifinal appearance in 2004-05, and expects to return three of last season's four double-digit scorers in 2011-12.

Miljanic called Lynn a "perfect fit" and cited the coaching staff and incoming recruiting class as reasons for his decision. The 6-7 swingman also garnered interest from a list of schools including Barry, Florida Tech, Eckerd, Albany, IPFW, Monmouth and Rutgers.
