MIAMI APR 6 - The first win of the JetHawks season come today, but not with a loss. Rookie third basemen George Luedtke went down after being hit in the head with a 91 mph heater. He was diagnosed with a concussion and will miss at least 2 weeks.
GM Anthony Wayne had to say this about the injury. "It had to be one of the worse sounds I have ever heard at a baseball game. I am so glad nothing was broken, but with these hit-by-pitch injuries you never know what the side effects are going to be in the long run. We are going to put George (Luedtke) on the 15-day DL and he will be our starting third-bagger when he returns. In the meantime, short-stop Jason Ball will be moved to 3rd and the young (19 year old) Bill Green will be brought up to play short.", he continued, "I am wishing George the best and we hope to see him at the park very soon."
