YUCAIPA, CA – The So Cal Bombers have locked up another central piece of the 2007 roster and are very happy to announce that they have re-signed Tony Peeples for the season. Tony, a California native, is a formative member of the Bombers pitching staff and returns as one of the important strengths for the 2007 squad.

Tony is a longtime member of the US National Team and has been one of the most effective pitchers in the ISC over the last few years. In 2006, he combined with Ryan Brand and Travis Price to lead the Bombers to a very successful season.

Head Coach Kelly McGiffin said Peeples return was critical to the success of the team in 2007.

“Tony Peeples not only brings a quality arm back to the team but a strength of character and competitiveness that winning teams have to have from their leaders. Tony has a rubber arm and can start, long relieve and close with little notice. He is a bulldog and will not give in to hitters, he has a great array of pitches and you know when he’s in the circle, we will always have the chance to win.”

Another step closer to solidifying a very strong team for the upcoming season, the Bomber management and players welcome Tony and his leadership back for 2007.
