Given the limited availability of some of our "revolving" roster players, our team was expected to be shorthanded (less than 12 active players) for the Bourbonnais tournament. If a team has less than 12 players, it's likely that the tournament would automatically assess an out each time the 12th spot in the order is scheduled to bat!
So, our team requested and was granted permission to add an alternate player to the roster. Jimmy Smith accepted this invitation and will play for the Blue Thunder throughout the Bourbonnais tournament.
We are pleased to have Jimmy on the roster. He was one of the top pitchers in the Bronco's National League this season and should help our pitching staff a great deal.
Jimmy may also play in a few other tournament games. He is available to replace players who become ill or who do not hustle during the games.
