BARBOURVILLE, Ky. - Former Union College baseball players Marty Popham and Kevin Ramos are really making a name for themselves in professional baseball.

 Scott Hodson - Kane County Cougars Andrew Shive is on the American League roster at tonight's New York -Penn League All-Star Game, a day after APU graduate Stephen Vogt's extra-innings walkoff home run.
AZUSA, Calif. -- Andrew Shive, winner of 7 straight relief decisions for the Class A Short-Season Staten Island Yankees, will represent the American League in tonight's New York-Penn League All-Star Game in Troy, N.Y. Shive is 1 of 6 representatives from the New York Yankees affiliate, and is 1 of 3 pitchers from a pitching staff that owns the league's second-best earned-run average.
"It's pretty exciting," said Shive, the Cougars' opening-game playoff starter at each level of NAIA postseason play (regional, super regional and NAIA World Series). "I've just been trying to do what I did in college – compete and get guys out. Along the way, they've put me into situations where I've gotten the opportuniy to get some wins."
Shive is 7-2 with a 2.25 ERA on the season, making all but one of his 18 appearances in relief. In 36 innings of work, he has 40 strikeouts while issuing just 10 walks and holding opponents to a .268 batting average. After surrendering runs in 3 of his first 4 professional appearances, Shive picked up 4 wins in 5 appearances over a 3-week stretch to start the month of July. Since June 27, he is 7-0 with a 1.55 ERA, giving up just 6 runs (5 earned) on 26 hits and notching 33 strikeouts in 29 innings of work.
"My team has some other guys who deserve to be here ahead of me," said Shive, noting the 0.50 ERA posted by fellow relief ace Brad Rulon.
