Although the full roster won't be available until late July, Earls plans to play in the Wisconsin NAFAtravel league, Wisconsin Classic League ISC State, Townline Invitational,the local Bristol Progress Days and the Farm tournaments.
A veteran of WT play, Wayne Gaura will again anchor the pitching staff while Glen Nelson will also toe the rubber inaddition to keeping his potent bat in the lineup. Todd Lubkeman will join the pitching mix this year and will be counted on to deliver quality inningsand hitting pop to the lineup.
Rich Edwards and Dale Horton highlight thereturning position players, each bringing powerful offense, strong defense,and leadership to the mix. Newcomers Jeremy Maginn, Mark Nelson, and Chance Schmid bring additional firepower and versatility to the lineup while otherreturning players Mike Frodermann, Bruce Pirkel, Paul Skora, Jay Gilray,Tony Schaaf, Jay Hrdlicka, Tim Barsuli, Al Weidner, Scott Gillmore, JasonGerum, Eric Klabunde and Kirk Kamke each contribute to the success theteam enjoys.
