Woodlands Strykers News Release


The Strykers are proud to announce the signing of Tulane University players Trevor Simms and Troy Ward. In addition, Garrett Lozano has resigned with the Strykers and will be patrolling the outfield. The three players will be a part of the Strykers Opening Day roster on May 28th, 2015.

Trevor Simms is a native out of Hurst, Texas. Trevor will be a red shirt junior after transferring to Tulane University from West Virginia. Simms is a 6'3'' right-handed pitcher who appeared in six games on the mound for the West Virginia Mountaineers. Trevor is also a member of the Tulane football team.

Troy Ward is a native out of Richland, Texas. Troy is a junior and transferred from Trinity University. Troy played an integral part in the back end of the bullpen for a Trinity squad that finished the year at 40-9. He had a 1-1 record with three saves and an ERA of 3.09. In his sophomore year at Tulane he made an appearance on opening day where he pitched 1.0 inning allowing no hits in a combined shutout against Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

Garrett Lozano is a native of the Woodlands, Texas. The 5'11'' Woodlands native is attending the University of Incarnate Word and will be returning to the Strykers for another season. As a freshman Garrett batted .295 on the summer and was 10th in the league in batting average. After getting injured the following year he followed up with a .275 batting average good for 12th in the league.

Ramiro Lozano, General Manager states, "I am very proud Garrett decided to resign. We look forward to his hard nose play and leadership on the field. We are also very excited to welcome Trevor and Troy to the Strykers. These two pitchers will definitely cause havoc to opposing lineups."

The Strykers will kick off their 2015 campaign with a six game home stand starting on Thursday May 28th @ 7:05 pm against the two-time defending TCL champion Brazos Valley Bombers, followed by two games against the East Texas Pump Jacks and the Acadiana Cane Cutters, respectively.

For the Strykers season to be a success we need your help. We are looking for families that would like to become a "host family" and open up their homes for some of our players. There are only a few things that the players will need during their stay. They will need a bed and bathroom along with light meals before they head out to the park. Our players enjoy the gratitude of families opening their homes as they realize it makes their time with the Strykers more enjoyable. To find out more information about this exciting opportunity or to get your season tickets for the 2015 season, please contact John Villarreal at 832-922-0061 or javillarreal11@yahoo.com.
