Oak Hills Lefty Joel Bender Pitching Friday
Oak Hills High graduate from the class of 2010 is currently on the Dayton Dragons roster.
The 21-year old has made three spring appearances and had some good outings. He is scheduled to pitch in Goodyear against the White Sox's A farm team the Kannapolis Intimidators from Kannapolis, NC.
"They are pitching me a lot," Bender said. "I've had three outings and they have been great so far. I was on Bakersfield until the Reds' sent some down. I am hoping it holds and I pitch for Dayton this year."
Bender stayed in extended spring last season then reported to Billings in June. He started five games and made 15 total appearances. Bender pitched 53 innings for the Mustangs (not to be confused with Western Hills). He had a 3-4 record with a 6.75 ERA.
