1999

The 1999 season was the first for Northern Ohio in the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League.  After a 6-7 start, the club was excited to see the arrival of four College World Series participants, Rock Mills (1^st Team All-GLSCL), Brent Boyd, Jeremy Brown (1^st Team All-GLSCL), and Head Coach George “Guido” Aspeitia.  Their impact was felt immediately as the club won their next 10 in a row and 25 of their last 30 to finish 31-12.

 The club won their firs two in the divisional playoffs, ousting longtime GLSCL stalwart Columbus.  In the championship series the club came from behind to defeat the Lake Erie Monarch in game one, but the Monarchs pitching staff out lasted the club and Northern Ohio had to settle for a second place finish.  The club did finish with the best overall record in league play and placed Chris Burke on the Baseball America summer All-American team.
