California Lumberkings Add Egerdeen to Staff for 2007
Wednesday, December 20th, 2006The California Lumberkings, the first team ever from California to compete in the ISC II Tournament of Champions resigned two of its pitchers from 2006 and added another, Mike Edgerdeen. The “twist” in the story is that the versatile Nimmo will put the gear and get behind the plate to catch in 2007. Edgerdeen had an outstanding 2006 ISC II tournament, while pitching for the JRW team from Yakima, Washington, and will give the Lumberkings a solid 1-2 punch in Strang and Edgerdeen.
The Lumberkings qualified for the playoff round at the 2006 ISC II Tournament of Champions in Kitchener, Ontario, and won their first round playoff game, before being eliminated in an extra inning thriller on a controversial call at home plate. The ISC II T of C returns to Kitchener again in 2007, in the Ontario province, a hotbed of talent at the ISC II level.
More from the Lumberkings’ David Weldin on the signings:
The California LumberKings (Bakersfield Ca) are pleased to announce the signing of
Darren Strang, Jon Nimmo, and Mike Egerdeen to their 2007 roster.
The LumberKings will play an ISC Schedule through the summer and then return to ISC II Championships in August. Strang and Egerdeen will share pitching assignments, while Nimmo will assume the catching duties.
The LumberKings are very excited to be adding these three quality players for the upcoming season and feel that they will be very instrumental in helping make a run for a top finish this year.
