CHARLESTON, WV (June 22, 2006) - The West Virginia Power, Class A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers have made another roster move.

Today, utility player Ryan Crew was promoted to High-A Brevard County of the Florida State League and infielder Kenny Holmberg was activated from the disabled list to take his place on the Power roster.

Crew, a second year player from the University of Texas-San Antonio was one of West Virginia's most consistent players in the first half of the season. He saw action in left field, second base and shortstop. Crew hit .280 over 62 games with two homeruns and 23 RBI.

Kenny Holmberg is ready to play after his second stint on the disabled list due to a high left ankle sprain. Holmberg originally went on the disabled list on April 30, and was activated three weeks later, only to be placed back on the DL ten after. Through 25 games this year Holmberg is hitting .289 with four homeruns and nine RBI.

The Power will start the second half with a four game series against the Kannapolis Intimidators. The first game of the series will take place at Appalachian Power Park on Thursday night. The Kannapolis Intimidators will start right hander Derek Rodriguez (2-7, 4.87) and the Power will counter with lefty Derek Miller (7-1, 3.88). The first pitch is scheduled for 7:05 PM.
