A former Thunder Bay Border Cat is on the path to the Windy City.
Andy Weber, who suited up for the Northwoods League club in 2016 and 2017, was a fifth round pick -- 158th overall -- of the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday during the Major League Baseball Draft.
The middle infielder, who played collegiately at the University of Virginia, earned a North Division All-Star nod and batted .289 in 49 games, notching 59 hits and driving in 15 runs last year while with Thunder Bay.
Weber is the second-highest Border Cats alum to ever be taken in the draft. Matt Mangini, who starred on the 2005 squad, was taken as a supplementary pick in the first round by the Seattle Mariners in 2007 and reached the majors with the club in 2011.
