Junior transfer Craig Yuhas will get the call in right while brothers Andrew and Seth Salinas will take the field at first and short respectively. Matt Marcoe will be the Red teams only utility player.

The Red team’s pitching staff has three returning players and boasts a lot of new faces. Brett Efaw, Michael Shelstad and Kevin Jones are back to help their team. Additional pitchers include transfers Andrew Speer, Scott Leshner, Pat Capone, Andrew Neisinger and freshman Josh Long.

On the roster for the Black team is first baseman and pitcher Adam Siler. Nate Baker takes the reins in center while Maki Smith starts in right. Curtis Thibault is back at short with sophomores Sean Dougherty and Ryan Brilhante are slated go as catcher and left fielder. Newcomers include second baseman Andy Cole, third bagger Mickey Letofsky, and designated hitter Jake Orosco. Rounding out the lineup are utility guys Jake Gamble and Patrick Johnson.
