Bryan Rembisz was outstanding on Saturday, but a late Kalamazoo comeback host him the victory, which was picked up by Nick Pepper by throwing a scoreless inning in the 12th. Jeff Brown had the walk-off hit for the Beach Bums after Brad Miller lead off with a single and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Damon Lessler.
Several injuries had the Beach Bums playing out of position all over the field on Sunday, but held in the game offensively until Kalamazoo scored single runs in the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th innings to take a 7-3 lead. The Beach Bums rallied in the 9th, loading the bases with 2 outs, but came away empty.
TC heads out on a 6-game road trip after a much needed day off on Monday. The Beach Bums will play three games in both Rockford and Windy City before returning to Wuerfel Park for a 6-game home stand against the same two teams. After the next 12 games, TC won't see either Rockford or Windy City the rest of the season unless it is in the playoffs.

Hey Jason, are you going to sign a pitcher or ride it out until McEneaney is healthy? Maybe sign a guy that is going to be drafed so he can get some work in in the mean time. I think you did that with a couple guys last year. Great Job getting the Bums out the gate this season!!! Keep it up.
We have a local kid by the name of James Ledford who is going to sign with us as we head to Rockford. He pitched collegiately at Southwest Baptist, which is a Division II school in Missouri. He was at the Frontier League Tryout Camp and threw consistently 88-90 mph with a good slider. He was drafted by Kalamazoo, but released out of their spring training.
There should be a release on him on the website today. We will also be signing an outfielder who will be meeting us in the Chicago area as Matt Imwalle is on the DL and Brad Roblin is fighting some injury issues suffered from a head-on collision with the outfield wall on Friday. However, I can't report anything until we get the contract signed. I will put something up tomorrow about him, probably, but he will be an excellent pick-up for us.
Ok great. Thanks Jason.
