Metropolis Pitcher John Jacobs joins Carbondale American Legion
Metropolis pitcher John Jacobs, bench-sitting for Carbondale during its 25th District debut, earned a three hit, three strikeout eight inning win over Pinckneyville Friday. District release rules allowed his move after enrollment checks and a 919-student Carbondale high addition, with Marion agreeing to a cross district transfer. Jacobs, noted by scouts as the region’s best pitcher, cited state rules preventing out-of-state play as a factor in choosing Carbondale, where managers Wheelis and Darnell welcomed his decision.
