24 DTHE WEIRS TIMES GUIDE TO THE 2012 SEASON OF THE LACONIA MUSKRATS TIM SWATEK #17
UTIL/RHP
6’4”--185lbs--L/R Year: Sophomore School: Fordham Hometown: Maywood, NJ
ABOUT: “Utility” doesn’t quite do justice to Tim’s versatility. As a freshman in 2011, he made Collegiate Baseball’s Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American Team, and was an Atlantic-10 All-
Conference Second-Team pitcher! As a sophomore, Tim was decided- ly used more as an everyday outfielder, only making three appearanc- es on the mound, including the 14th inning of the last game of the season. Offensively, Tim was in the lineup for 54 games, earning the third-best batting average (.281), leading the team in triples (3) and runs scored (37), and ranking second in doubles (13) and homers (4). Tim also walked more than any other Ram, with 38 base-on-balls.
PERSONAL: Born March 25, 1992.
MATTHEW ALDRICH #18 RHP
6’2”--200lbs--R/R Year: Sophomore School: Darton College Hometown: Leesburg, GA
ABOUT: Matt pitched his way to a NJCAA DI All- GCAA First Team selection in 2012 for the Darton College (Georgia) Cavaliers. He sported an ERA under two and led the nation in strikeouts for much of
the season, averaging more than a strikeout per inning. Darton spent time ranked No. 12 nationally, a first for the program. The Cavaliers season came to an end at Middle Georgia College in the GCAA tournament, much like Walters State. Matt will have a prominent role in the Muskrats starting rotation, as Laconia looks to lead the NECBL in strikeouts for a third-straight year.
PERSONAL: Born November 13, 1990. Son of Chris and Linda Aldrich, and Will and Martha Johnson. Has four siblings: Hannah, Harrison, Courtney, and Greg. Spent part of two injury-plagued seasons at Valdosta State. Credits Darton College and Coach Scot Hemmings for rebuilding his confidence. Has committed to play for Columbus State in the fall.
