'THEY THROW HARDER AT THE JV LEVEL"-Chance Retino

WINTERLAND PARK, FLA-Rollins College Freshman Chance Retino is enjoying his early season games in FLA at Rollins College.  Retino of Kirtland Ohio is hitting .333 with a .356 OBP and .586 OPS.  A middle-infielder by trade, Retino is splitting time in his inaugural season with the TARS who are expected to challenge in the D-2 Sunshine State Conference of the NCSA. When interviewed via cell phone Monday night, Retino commented that the pitching at the JV was more difficult because they "Throw Harder at the JV Level in this Conference.... and the Juco's are absurd!".  He is quoted as saying they throw 90-96 while the Varsity was only seeing 85-87. In a recent victory over Clifton College, who is better known for their Cricket and Fencing, Retino bellied that their pitcher "didn't even hit 75"... Wishing you luck going forward Chance......see you in Winterhaven and Auburndale this weekend with many of your other Blaze Brothers.
