Oak Hills Grad Joel Bender Gets Promotion And Start




http://donatelifeohio.org/


The Reds' organization sent Oak Hills High School graduate, LHP Joel Bender from Dayton to Pensacola Blue Wahoos to make his second start of the season on Saturday night against the Montgomery Biscuits.

The Reds promoted RHP Daniel Corcino to pitch out of the Reds' bullpen, then elected Bender to make his first Double A start.

Bender made one start at Dayton but pitched mostly out of the bullpen.  The 23-year old taken in the 27th round of the 2010 draft, had a 6-3 record at Dayton with a 4.67 ERA in 43 appearances.

In his last 10 games, Bender is 2-2 with a 2.91 ERA over 21 2/3 innings.  Bender pitched five innings in relief of Amir Garrett on August 18.  He has also worked more than one inning in five of his last six appearances.
