LANCASTER - Donegal senior ace pitcher Michael Houseal will continue his baseball career at Lebanon Valley College.
The fireballing righty picked the Dutchmen's program over Elizabethtown and Washington & Jefferson.
He will be an Elementary Education major at LVC.
Houseal had an oustanding season for Donegal last spring.
On the mound he went 5-2 with three saves and he pitched to a minuscule 0.62 ERA. Houseal struck out 62 batters in 56 1/3 innings and allowed just five earned runs and 17 walks.
At the plate, he hit .371 (26-for-70) with nine doubles, two triples, a pair of homers, scored 21 runs, knocked in 17 runs and drew 11 walks.
Houseal plays third base for the Indians when he's not pitching.
He earned L-L League Section 3 First Team All-Star honors as a pitcher following his sophomore and junior seasons - and he'll definitely be one of the top L-L League players to keep an eye on this spring.
Houseal also earned L-L League Section 3 All-Star honors at linebacker and offensive guard for Donegal's football team last fall, when he helped the Indians go 9-2 and reach the District 3 Class AAA playoffs.
He's set to play in the L-L League Tri-County All-Star Football Game on May 25 at Manheim Central.
