Lincoln Saltdogs News Release
LINCOLN - The Lincoln Saltdogs announced today that they activated left-handed pitcher Bennett Parry from the Disabled List and placed infielder Creighton Wilke on the Disabled List.
Parry rejoins the active roster with a 1.26 ERA in six starts, the lowest ERA among qualifying pitchers in the American Association.

Wilke played two games for the Saltdogs since being signed on June 29th. The Lincoln East graduate was 1-3 with a double and a walk yesterday. The double was his first professional hit.
The Saltdogs face the Cleburne Railroaders in game one of a four-game set tonight. First pitch is at 7:06 PM with coverage beginning at 6:35 PM on ESPN 1480 and saltdogs.com.
