(June 5, 2006)- Justin Marshall had no problem with the jersey switch from Central Washington University Wildcat to Skagit Valley Eagle this past Saturday night.  Marshall was practically a one-man show, going 3-4 with two singles and a double resulting in three RBIs for the night.  Top that performance off with a stolen base to help the Eagles pummel the Tacoma Cardinals 9-2.

Eagle’s Coach, Dan Keller explained that Marshall has a new role to adjust to this summer.  He said that Marshall was “ hitting in the 3 and 5 spot (at CWU) and now I have him at the lead off spot. He’s accepting a different role, hitting for contact, as well as for power and stealing some bases.”  

Keller describes Marshall as being very coachable, taking in what is said to him and trying to make it work.  When asked what the baseball Gods have in store for Justin Marshall, Keller said, “He keeps getting better year after year.  He has a pro body and with his work ethic he has limitless potential.”

            After this summer with the Skagit Eagles, Marshall will return as a Central Washington University Wildcat for his senior year.  After that, Keller predicts he will be successful in whatever he chooses to do.
