ERIE, Pa. - Former Gannon baseball student-athlete Jonathan Dziomba has signed a professional contract to play with the Grand Prairie Airhogs (Texas) of the American Association of Independent Baseball.

Dziomba made his professional baseball debut on Sunday, July 12, starting at second base and going 3-for-4 with a run scored and RBI, helping the Airhogs to a 7-1 victory over the Fort Worth Cats.

Dziomba was a three-year letterwinner (2006-08) for Gannon, before transferring to Mercyhurst College for his final collegiate season in 2009. He played shortstop and second base during his Gannon tenure and his name is scattered throughout the Gannon record books as one of the best to ever play at the school.

The Williamsville, N.Y., native ranks fifth all-time at Gannon in home runs (10), seventh in slugging percentage (.446) and seventh in triples (6) despite playing only three seasons.

Dziomba’s best season at Gannon came during his final season in 2008 when he was named to the All-Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) honorable-mention squad. He led the team in average (.342), hits (52), runs (33), triples (5), home runs (6), RBI (38), slugging percentage (.586), and stolen bases (14). His five triples equaled the second-highest single-season total in school history. His home run total ranks third, RBI total fifth, total base benchmark eighth, and slugging percentage eighth.

Deimel earned the final 2009-10 Gannon male athlete-of-the-week honor by qualifying for the 2010 NCAA Division II National Men's Golf Championship May 18-21 at The Sagamore Club in Noblesville, Indiana. The junior did so after finishing tied for sixth at the NCAA Division II Atlantic/East Regional last week at the Glade Springs Resort in Daniels, West Virginia. He is the first Gannon golfer to qualify for the national championship since current head coach Dave Patronik played in the 2003 event as a freshman.Deimel secured the last individual spot with a five-over-par 77 during the final round. He completed the regional with a three-round total of nine-over-par 225. Deimel opened the tournament with a three-over-par 75 during the first round, totaled a one-over-par 73 during the second round, before completing the event with a five-over-par 77. The junior opened the third round with an even-par 36 on the back nine, before turning around and scoring a five-over-par 41 on the front nine. He finished the day with 10 pars, two birdies, five bogeys and a double bogey - his first and only of the regional. The Erie, Pa., native recorded back-to-back birdies on the par-3, 180-yard 13th hole and the par-4, 384-yard 14th hole during the last day. It marked the first time Deimel had birdied either hole that week. He previously birdied the par-5, 501-yard 12th hole and the par-4, 420-yard 16th hole during each of the first two rounds. Deimel was one of four golfers who qualified for the NCAA Division II Atlantic/East Regional as an individual. He is the first Gannon golfer to be invited to an NCAA regional since Patronik played in the 2006 NCAA Division II Great Lakes/South Central Regional as a senior.
