De Kalb, Il.

The DeKalb Hustle Hogs are heading to their first tournament
of the year this weekend in Radom, Il. for the Terry Deering
Memorial Tournament.  The Hogs come into this week on a four
game win streak.  The Hogs are hitting .359 as a team with six
players hitting over .350.  These numbers have been against some
very good pitching as the Hogs play in two very competitive leagues.

Tommy Crouch leads the team with a .586 average and a .657 OBA.
 Shaun Cavasos is hitting .571 doing it from the left and right
side of the plate.  The rest of the .350 or better hitters are:
Matt Smith (.500), Mike Drew (.400), Chad Crutcher (379), and
Jay Armes (364).

The Hogs have a couple of players that will be playing with their
regular traveling team this weekend, so the Hogs' front office
decided to pick up C/OF, Brian Crouch from San Diego, CA.  Brian
is a former Hog standout and will play Wed and Thu with the Hogs
in their leagues before making the trip to Radom on Friday. The
Hogs first tournament game will be at  9pm.  This will also be
a reunion of sorts as the entire Hogs squad will stay at Grandpa
Crouch's place in Mt Vernon, Il. with many family members attending
the tournament to cheer on the Hogs.

The Hogs' staff will include Tim Murphy and Joe Crouch.  Murphy
has had a great start to the '06 season as his knee is finally
healthy. Murphy has gone through a tough off- season workout
regiment to get ready for the season and it has showed in his
first five starts.  Crouch, has also started the season on a
high note pitching very well for the Rockford BHAC club and last
weekend pitched in the prestigious Blue/Grey tournament in Alabama
where his team (Alabama Fastpitch) finished second.
The Hogs are looking forward to a successful week and tournament.
