Express Add A Pitcher And First Baseman
Thursday, April 25th, 2013 -- 11:04 AM
Field Manager Dale Varsho announced Wednesday two new additions to the 2013 Eau Claire Express roster. A first baseman and a right-handed pitcher, both coming from the southwest region of the United States, join the team to expand the roster to 25 players.First baseman Chane Lynch, a 6-foot-4 inch and 195-pound junior from Dallas Baptist University, is batting .302 for the Patriots. He will bring the Express some power at the plate, belting four home runs in 20 games played.
Drew Bridges, who plays both infield and pitcher for the University of New Mexico, will strictly be asked to pitch for the Express this summer. The 6-foot-4 inch and 200-pound freshman right-hander from Fruita, Colo., currently holds a 2-1 record in seven appearances on the mound for the Lobos. In 25.2 innings pitched, he has struck out 14 batters.
With the addition of Lynch and Bridges, the Express have five more spots to fill.
The Express begin their ninth season of Northwoods League play on May 29 in Madison to take on the Mallards.
