DANIEL CORCINO'S GEM EARNS WEEKLY HONOR

After working the first eight innings of the Blue Wahoos first no-hitter in team history, Daniel Corcino has garnered Southern League Pitcher of the Week honors for the week ending June 17.

Corcino earns the recognition after pitching the first eight innings of the Blue Wahoos combined no-hitter against the Mobile BayBears on Saturday, June 16 at Pensacola Bayfront Stadium. He added nine strikeouts to the no-hit bid as well. In addition to the solid outing on the mound, he also collected a third inning single.

The Wahoos right-hander is currently ranked my MLB.com as baseball's No. 98 prospect. He is in his first season at Double-A after making the jump directly from Single-A Dayton where he spent the entire 2011 season. Corcino was signed by the Cincinnati Reds out of the Dominican Republic in 2008. He is the second Blue Wahoos player to earn league recognition this season.
