Melillo's Pro Debut Jolt Sparks Orioles Doubleheader Sweep
Bluefield catcher Gerry Melillo, a 13th round pick from the Expos and Eckerd College graduate, belted a game changing bases loaded homer off Paintsville ace Steve George as the Orioles swept a doubleheader. Once mired in a .184 average, Melillo sparked with a four hit two game effort and five assists behind the plate. He combines sharp defense with a future in forensic chemistry at Pitt and envisions medical examiner work. He also notes his strength as a 50 percent pickoff artist, and his on field experiences from Cape Cod League to the Appy League.
