Woodward named to
Cape Cod All-stars
Scott Woodward, a 2007 Norwell High School graduate, recently was named to the Cape Cod Baseball League All-stars.
Woodward, who will return to Coastal Carolina University this fall, played outfield for the Bourne Braves in the CCBL.
He was drafted this summer by the Oakland A’s, but he will be returning to Coastal Carolina to finish his education.
In 24 games for the Braves, Woodward batted .308 in 78 at bats. He had 24 hits, including four doubles and three RBIs. He also had 20 walks and 20 stolen bases. His on base percentage was .476.
The Braves’ center fielder injured himself on July 28 before playing in a game at Fenway Park in Boston. He broke a bone in his left foot as he rounded first base during practice. He had surgery to insert a screw into the bone and also had a bone graft. He is recovering and should be fully healed by next baseball season.
