BOONE, N.C. — Appalachian State's Luke Drumheller, who has led the Sun Belt in hitting and ranked in the top five nationally among Division I freshmen for most of the year, has been invited to play in the prestigious Cape Cod League this summer with the Wareham (Mass.) Gatemen.
The Gatemen announced the addition of Drumheller to the 2019 roster on Wednesday.
Batting .343 as a left-handed-hitting freshman out of Charlotte's Olympic High School, Drumheller leads Sun Belt second basemen in RBIs (35), slugging (.470) and doubles (15, tied for first).
He tied an NCAA record while breaking school/league records March 10 with a five-double game, which was voted the national Performance of the Week by the Golden Spikes Award.
