Priday drafted in 11th round

Former Eau Claire Express slugger Jacob Priday was taken in the 11th round -- No. 332 overall -- by the Houston Astros on day two of the Major League Baseball first-year player draft Friday.

Priday, who plays at Missouri, hit eight home runs for the Express in 2005 -- the franchise's first season. That not only is the club's single-season record, but the career record.
