A little FIU baseball break from football. FIU baseball's Opening Day vs. Jacksonville at FIU is 72 days away. The Golden Panthers picked up their first preseason honor.
Second baseman Ryan Mollica was named to the Preseason 2009 Brooks Wallace Player of the Year Watch List.
Last season Mollica hit .413 with 23 doubles, 5 HR, 49 RBI and had a .483 on-base percentage. He also led the Sun Belt with a .504 average against conference opponents. Mollica tied Joe Hughes' single-season school record for doubles, set in 1980.
Golden Panther 90: Rod Delmonico is no longer part of the FIU coaching staff. He was hired as the head coach of the Dutch National team last week.
Pete-
What's up with Baseball? What impact if any will Delmonico have?

Is Delmonico still part of the coaching staff?

Pete,
Can you please do a story on football recruiting? Seems like we are putting together a nice class. Thanks

Now, that's kind of odd for Delmonico to leave prior to his first game coaching at FIU......
