Martin Joins Overbrook Staff for Spring Return
Martin, an Overbrook senior who led last year’s pitching prospects, will report after spring break and join Temple’s mound staff once he arrives. Temple is hopeful if Shirt arm holds up, the team could win about half its games, a marked improvement from last year’s 6 16 record. Seventeen players will travel to the Southland after church services Sunday and return early Saturday.
