A year after undergoing surgeries on both hips, and three years removed from his senior season at Newton South High, Scott Lueders has reinvented himself as a baseball player.
A slugging catcher at Newton South, and for Milford's American Legion Post 59 team, Lueders is working out of the bullpen in his first varsity season at Bentley University.
Lueders pitched competitively for the first time last summer for the Brighton Minutemen in the Yawkey League, and discovered that it would be a challenging transition. Since then, he has shown steady improvement for the Division 2 Falcons.
In 10 relief appearances encompassing 21.2 innings this spring, Lueders allowed 18 hits and posted a 2.49 earned run average. After being touched for two runs in his debut against nationally ranked University of Tampa, Lueders allowed just four earned runs over 20.2 innings, and was 1-1 with a save as of last week.
