San Angelo Colts News Release
San Angelo, Texas-Before Thursday night's game against Coastal Bend, the San Angelo Colts announced the signings of three new pitchers; Aaron Cunningham, Tristan Gaines, and Gorman Romero.
Cunningham, a 6'3", 210-pound lefthander, is a veteran independent league pitcher who has spent the last four years with Shreveport-Bossier of the American Association. While with the Captains, Cunningham was used primarily as a reliever while going 6-10 with a 4.07 ERA. He kept his ERA below 4.00 in each of his first three seasons. The Woodlands, TX native will be a member of the Colts starting rotation.
This will be Triston Gaines' first professional season. Gaines, a 6'0" 188-pound right-hander, just completed his senior season at Lubbock Christian University where he went 3-3 with four saves in 25 appearances, including four as a starter. Triston, who is scheduled to graduate in 2011, also pitched at Houston Baptist University. He will be used mainly out of the bullpen. He is the brother of Colts starting centerfielder Ronnie Gaines and resides in Temple, TX
This is also Gorman Romero's first professional season, although he is already with his second team. Romero started this season with the Las Cruces Vaqueros of the Continental Baseball League in Las Cruces, NM. He was 3-0 with a 3.81 ERA in four appearances for the Vaqueros in 26 innings of work. Before then, the 5'9" 175-pound righty pitched at New Mexico Highlands University and went 8-2 as a senior while compiling a team-high six complete games. Like Gaines, Romero will contribute to the Colts' bullpen. He resides in Jemez, NM.
To make room the Colts released RHP Patrick Lawler, RHP Efrain Silva, and RHP Wesley Clingman. Lawler had been a starter for the Colts, while Silva and Clingman both worked out of the pen.
The Colts take on the Coastal Bend Thunder tonight beginning at 7:05 from Foster Field in game three of a four-game series. The first 1,000 fans through the gates will receive a Colts wristband courtesy of Moosetracks. The game can be heard on 1260 KKSA with the pregame show getting things started at 6:50.
