Wakefield- League President Les DeMarco and ICL manager Rick DeAngelis announced yesterday that third baseman Mike Andre and pitcher Mike Lanciani will be the Chiefs representatives at the ICL-Boston Park League all-star game. The game will be played on Sunday, July 23 at Walsh Field in Wakefield at 2:00 PM.
Chiefs veteran slugger Justin Crisafulli was named to the team but had to decline due to a previous commitment with the Boston Typos. It was the tenth time that Crisafulli was named an ICL all-star.
Pitcher Mike DiCato was then named by DeAngelis to replace Crisafulli as the second Chiefs representative. As luck would have it for the former Malden Catholic and present UMass-Amherst star, due to the recent scheduling of the game, DiCato had also made a prior commitment to join Crisafulli and play in the Union Printers tournament on all-star Sunday for the Typos in Ft. Myers,Florida.
Both Crisafulli and DiCato made their commitments to represent The City of Boston in the annual Florida tournament only after receiving permission and receiving the support of the Chiefs coaching staff. Both are expected to miss only two regular season games along with the all-star game.
Enter Mike Lanciani who made his return to the mound on Saturday with three more sharp innings of scoreless ball. Lanciani, with his recent performance, coupled with the fact that he has not allowed an earned run in 15 innings of work, then became the unanimous league wide choice to join Mike Andre as the Chiefs second representative on the ICL squad.
For the rookie Andre, who was the first Chief selected to the team, it will obviously be his first ICL all-star game as a player. The former GBL all-star just completed his freshman year at Merrimack College in May. Andre had recently declined a late invitation to play in the Typos tournament. The left hand swinging Andre was hitting a team leading .383 (18-47) with one home run at the time of his selection. He also leads the Chiefs in most offensive categories including hits (18), RBI's (9), OB% .420 and Slugging % .468. DiCato and Andre were teammates on the 2004 Metro Squad of the Bay State Games at Harvard University.
Lanciani along with having a 0.00 ERA, is 1-0 and has allowed just seven hits in 15 innings. He has struck out 11 batters and has issued just one walk. The Andover native was in the Merrimack College starting rotation as a senior this past spring.
Joining DeAngelis as coaches on the 2006 ICL staff will be Bob Nasson of the Cassell Club, Dave Ellegood of the Wakefield Merchants, Scott Blumsack of the Gately A's and Joe Chiodo of the Watertown Reds.
A complete list of the ICL all-stars will be available late Monday afternoon.
