Toronto, Ontario - Tim Mayza, who pitched for Millersville University from 2011-2013, is officially in the big leagues. On Monday, Mayza was promoted from the Triple A Buffalo Bisons to the Toronto Blue Jays.

Mayza, now 25, left Millersville after a 2013 junior season in which he went 11-3 with a 1.55 ERA and 91 strikeouts in 98 2/3 innings. He was selected in the 12th round by the Blue Jays. Mayza went 21-9 with a 2.98 ERA as a Marauder. He started game three of Millersville's 2011 NCAA Championship Tournament appearance as a true freshman.
