Miners star in 2007 season at Rent One Park
Southern Illinois pro baseball delivered excitement and frustration in 2007 as the Miners drew rabid crowds at Rent One Park. Five players earned Frontier League midseason All-Star honors including Hall Scanzano Santana Wirth and Wooley. Santana led with hits. Hall set top fielding percentage for a Frontier third baseman. Scanzano tied a league record with six hits in an 18 inning win over Florence on July 13. Tisone came within six outs of a perfect game in a 2 0 win over Traverse City on July 29. Hope, Koski, and others contributed as injuries reshaped the roster. Manager Pinto navigated through injuries to keep up a high level of play.
