With two and a half weeks left in the 2011 NECBL regular season, the 16 and 9 Westerners are in first place in the Western Division and showcasing the full scope of their potential. The starting and relief pitching continues to be top notch and, in spite of the temporary loss of three hitting standouts, the bulk of the roster has produced offensive statistics that has the league abuzz.
In just the last six games, the combination of Tanner Krietemeier, Dane Opel, Chad Morgan and Tyler Horan have accounted for forty-nine total bases and a .583 slugging percentage.
