Reno Silver Sox News Release


Reno, NV- The Golden Baseball League and Reno Silver Sox announced today that they have sold Reno Silver Sox CF Victor Hall's contract to the New York Yankees.

Hall was batting .362 for the Sox in the leadoff position, with three triples, three homeruns, and a league leading fifteen stolen bases (seven more than the next closes player) through sixteen games.

Hall, 25, has played all over the minor leagues, reaching as high as AAA with the Tucson (AZ) Sidewinders, an affiliated team of the Arizona Diamondbacks, in 2004. Hall signed with the Sox on February 28, 2006.

"I am excited for Victor. I knew when we signed him that we wouldn't be here for very long," said Silver Sox manager Les Lancaster.

Hall will be suiting up for the Tampa (FL) Yankees, the New York Yankees high A affiliated team and is expected to quickly be promoted.

The Reno Silver Sox are back at Peccole Park on Friday, June 30 at 6:35 to begin a seven game home stand, where they will host the Fullerton Flyers and the San Diego Surf Dawgs. The home stand will be highlighted by fireworks on July 3, sponsored by Pacific West Builders. Tickets to the games are available by calling the Silver Sox box office at (775) 348-7769 or by going to www.silversoxbaseball.com.
