Kudos to former jayvee quarterback Ed Lucas '04, whose single to right in the 11th inning last night helped the Marlins to a win over the Phillies. The utility man headlined this story (featuring an interview) and got a mini-shower from his teammates in this video.

Lucas is batting .248 with one her and six RBIs in 42 games.
