Zier, a California native, is hitting at a .291 clip for the Aztecs in 29 games this spring and is a perfect nine-for-nine in stolen bases.
With the addition of Trowbridge and Zier, the Express roster stands at 19 players with more to come every Wednesday.
The Express begin their ninth season of Northwoods League play on May 29 in Madison to take on the Mallards. Eau Claire begins their home schedule on Sunday, June 2 against the Wisconsin Woodchucks.
