RedWolves Notebook

The RedWolves announce the return of a 2008 player and the signing of a pitcher both from Notre Dame. Herman Petzold a 5'10" 180lb Jr. Infielder will be back on the Florence roster for a second season and Todd Miller a 6'3" 205lb So. RHP will join the team with Petzold representing the Fighting Irish.

Petzold hit .266 with a homerun and 19 RBI's in 49 games during the 2008 season for the RedWolves.

"I am very excited to have a couple Fighting Irish in Florence this summer. Herman was a huge part of our success last year. He is a leader who plays with passion and drive. Petzold will be a versatile guy who can play all three infield positions. Miller is a good addition to our pitching staff. He is strikethrower with a good breaking ball and will challenge hitters. Todd should compete for a startiing spot in the rotation this summer," said Wes Davis.

Homer can be seen in the morning at the McLeod Sports Medicine annual 5- 10K race at Briggs Elementary starting around 9am.
