On Tuesday, UMass' Matt Gedman played all nine positions and picked up a save in the process
as the Lowell All-Americans defeated the North Adams Steeple Cats, 3-2. With two outs in the ninth inning, after Gedman had played each
position, Coach Jeff Kane walked to the mound and moved Gedman from
first base to the pitcher's mound. Reliever Brenden Shepard moved to first base and Gedman induced a fly ball to left field to end
the game and pick up the save. The feat that Gedman accomplished was a
very rare one. The NECBL does not keep track of those stats, but the
last time it was accomplished in Major League Baseball was in 2000.
