Another 'P' for QB/P

Guess who pitched for the Quakers in Baseball's 18-8 loss to Maine yesterday?

Well, the once-magnificent Todd Roth got the start and picked up where 2009 left off, allowing eight runs (seven earned) in 2 1/3 innings.

But the big news is the lefty who entered in the seventh: Kyle Olson. Yes, that Kyle Olson, the punter/quarterback who stormed on the scene after transferring to Penn in 2008, and who, after Keiffer Garton got hurt, led the football team to this year's Ivy League crown.

Apparently, he plays baseball, too. At Fullerton College, Olson hit .310 while playing first base and pitching sporadically.

No word yet on whether he's assumed full LOOGY status; in two-thirds of an inning against Maine, he allowed one run on one hit.
