Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 3203078, member: 2504"] I was about to look up Pat Gallagher's stats when I came across this story of him in summer ball. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.telegram.com/news/20190628/fcbl-leominsters-pat-gallagher-adjusts-to-next-level-with-westfield-starfires[/URL] >The decision to play for Westfield specifically was easy considering the recommendation from his college coaches and the proximity to the UConn campus, where the 6-foot-1, 190-pound Gallagher plans to begin summer courses the middle of next month. The transition from high school staff ace to collegiate rotation player has been helped with the connection to future UConn teammate Leif Bigelow, with whom he shares a host family. “He’s been able to talk to me about a lot of the stuff I’m going to experience and what to get ready for next year,” Gallagher said. “It’s been a big help for me in what to get used to and what’s going to be heading my way soon. He’s a great asset, and I’m glad that he’s around.” Gallagher made three scoreless appearances out of the bullpen to start the summer with Westfield before his first start Monday against Worcester. Gallagher lasted five innings, allowing four earned runs (five total) on eight hits with two walks and four strikeouts, and the right-hander himself described his first start as “rough.”< [/QUOTE]
