Burch Inks Professional Contract with Chicago Cubs

NORFOLK, Va. - Old Dominion baseball's Matt Burch signed as an undrafted free agent with the Chicago Cubs organization on Tuesday, July 28.

"We're all very happy for Matt. Especially since his senior season was cut short," expressed head coach Chris Finwood. "Matt is a fine representative of ODU and goes into professional baseball with his degree in his pocket. Matt continues the nice tradition of Monarch baseball players being signed by the Cubs!"

Burch, a native of Gurnee, Ill., started all 72 games over the last two seasons for the Monarchs.
