NEW CONCORD, OHIO, March 17, 2008 - The Muskingum College All-Ohio Athletic Conference duo of sophomore catcher Brock Whiteman and sophomore shortstop Wes Carder have signed to play summer ball for the Peekskill Robins (New York) of the Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League.

Last season, Whiteman hit .343 and led the Black & Magenta in at-bats (137), hits (47), triples (5), home runs (4), RBI (37), total bases (75) and slugging percentage (.547). Carder led the Fish in hitting with a .422 average and was second on the team with 43 hits and two triples.
