Clinton LumberKings News Release
Clinton, IA - The Clinton LumberKings and Seattle Mariners have agreed to extend their Player Development Contract through the 2012 season, announced today by the two clubs. The agreement keeps Seattle's low-A affiliate in Clinton for two more years following a successful two-year partnership that began in 2009.
"We're excited to be continuing a fantastic relationship with the Mariners, one that has brought success on and off the field for two seasons," said LumberKings' General Manager Ted Tornow. "Seattle has provided us with talented coaches and players and has stayed competitive for two seasons, giving us much to look forward to through 2012."
After a 2009 season that saw the LumberKings narrowly miss the post-season with a 69-68 overall record (fourth in the Midwest League's West Division), the 2010 edition of the club went 74-65, qualifying for the playoffs as the second-half West Division Wild Card.
"We are pleased to have reached agreement with the Clinton LumberKings on an extension of our player development agreement", Mariners' Director of Player Development Pedro Grifol said. "Clinton has provided a great environment for our players to experience championship baseball. The LumberKings ownership has been great to work with for us, the players get a first-class environment and get to play in front of great fans".
The LumberKings open the 2010 West Division Quarterfinals at home on Wednesday night at 6:30 PM as they take on the Cedar Rapids Kernels in a best-of-three series. Tickets are available by calling 563-242-0727 or by visiting the Alliant Energy Field ticket office. All playoff games will be carried live on AM 1390 KCLN in Clinton and online at 1390kcln.com.
