DAYTON ? A cadre of fans from Maria Stein rooted hard for Cory Luebke as he pitched the second game for Fort Wayne Tuesday night against the Dayton Dragons.
They and the rest of the fans at Fifth Third Field gave the rookie left-hander an ovation when he was taken from the game with two outs in the sixth inning. Luebke, a former star at Marion Local High School and Ohio State, left with a 3-0 lead after allowing just four hits ? all singles ? and two walks. He struck out six.
