BY CHARLIE LENTZ VILLAGER SPORTS EDITOR

DANIELSON — It had been almost five months since Chuck Innes had been at full strength — not since injuring his right shoulder last fall during football season. So after a lengthy rehab and missing the first half of Ellis Tech’s baseball season — Innes was finally ready last Friday to get a start on the pitcher’s mound again. “I injured it during football. I had a little fray in my labrum but it should be all set,” Innes said. “I was pumped and I felt really good.” His shoulder was feeling a lot better after he allowed just two hits in a seven-inning complete-game 3-1 victory over Prince Tech on May 2. “The fastball was doing it for me and the changeup,” Innes said. “I threw a lot of changeups today.” Ellis Tech’s sophomore right-hander struck out eight and walked one. “This was Chuck’s first start. I thought he did a great job coming out,” said Ellis Tech coach Anthony Formiglio. “His shoulder was sore all year. We weren’t sure what was wrong with it. He had it checked out. Everything’s good. We’re working him back into the rotation and hoping he can be our No.-2 (starter) from now on.” Innes has been Ellis Tech’s starting catch- er but his return to the mound should bode well for the Golden Eagles during the sec- ond half of the season. “He’s our starting catcher usually but he works both roles great. I’m hoping to see a lot more of him on the mound this year,” Formiglio said.
