 Jake Brown  Chip Wall  Logan Isaacs  Lucas Martin | WINTERVILLE�Success at the junior college level has opened the door for several Pitt Community College sophomores to continue their baseball careers at four-year colleges and universities. Following a season in which the Bulldogs went 41-15 and reached the Eastern District Championships, two pitchers�Jake Brown and Chip Wall�have signed with four-year schools along with infielder Logan Isaacs and outfielder Lucas Martin. Brown, a two-year starter, signed with Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, Ga. The Maryland native was stellar in two seasons at PCC, finishing with a 19-5 record and 121 strikeouts in 158 innings. A left-hander, Brown was named NJCAA All-District and First Team All-Region X Conference following a sophomore campaign in which he went 11-1, posted a 2.10 earned run average and limited opposing hitters to a .223 batting average. As a freshman, he earned Second Team All-Region X honors after going 8-4. A North Pitt graduate, Wall will take the hill next season for Wingate University, a private college located just outside of Charlotte. After going 6-3 his freshman season, the 6-foot-3 right-hander recorded a 7-1 record in 2008 with a 2.88 ERA and 43 strikeouts. Joining Wall at Wingate next season will be Bulldogs� second baseman Logan Isaacs. A two-year starter, the Raleigh native was a .288 hitter (84-for-292) in two seasons at PCC and a solid fielder, having committed 17 errors in 335 chances (.949 fielding percentage). Martin, a Second Team All-Region X Conference selection as a sophomore, has signed with Montreat College near Asheville. A centerfielder much of his Pitt career, he was a .332 hitter (86-for-159) from the left side of the plate. The Durham native led off for the Bulldogs in 2008 and showed good plate discipline, drawing 26 walks while recording a .437 on base percentage in his final year of eligibility.
