Outer Banks Daredevils

The Outer Banks Daredevils have signed all-stars to the club for the 2010 season.

The baseball club has signed Old Dominion utility player Donnie Corsner and Rutgers outfielder Mike Lang to its 2010 roster.

Corsner was an impact player on last season’s Daredevils team, spending time at catcher, first base and right field. He was one of seven Outer Banks players to be named a Coastal Plain League All-Star and played in 41 games.
Lang was the catalyst in his own right for the Valley League champion Haymarket Senators in 2009. The junior outfielder was named the tournament MVP and ranked as the Valley League’s No. 4 prospect by Baseball America. Also a league all-star, Lang finished third in the Valley with a .357 batting average and seven home runs. For the Scarlet Knights, he was named team MVP and appeared in all 53 games last spring. He led Rutgers in near every offensive category, such as batting average (.343), slugging percentage (.560), hits (71), home runs (8) and total bases (116).

The club was ranked as high as No. 7 in the weekly Perfect Game Crosschecker poll of the country’s top summer league teams, and had seven league all-stars.

The Norfolk Examiner (www.Examiner.com) recently ran a story showing NASA images of the recent snow storms that stretched into the South, and included in the images is a great view from space of the recent snow on the Outer Banks.

Here’s the description from NASA’s Earth Observatory:

With miles of sandy beaches and generally good weather, coastal North Carolina isn’t a place you would usually expect to find snow. But the view from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite on February 14, 2010, shows snow extending to the Outer Banks. The sandy islands, normally pale tan, are bright white in this image. Harkers Island received 8.8 inches of snow, reported CNN. The snow fell in a winter storm that moved across the southern United States from Texas to the Atlantic Coast on February 12-13.
