DC Redbirds Are Ready In The TU West
"All we need is one more strong arm and the Redbirds are ready to roll." That was Denton City manager Matty Chrisianson's comment at a news conference yesterday. "The top teams have at least two quality starters. My two new rookies LHP James Darbonne and Roger Ramsey are going to kick us up to prime contenders in the TU West. With three quality arms the Redbirds can challenge Bayview, Rolling Hills and Bay St. Clair, the reigning powers in the division." The Buccaneers won the flag in 2002 and the Vikings last season. The Reds have been runner-up both years.

Denton City made great progress last year, improving from seventh place to third. The Redbirds were 71-83 and 21 games out in the standings in 2002, improving to 79-75 and 13 games behind in 2003. Better pitching was the difference.

Top Pitchers: Bob Coleman (20-8 3.67), Joe Hoffman (17-16 3.56) and LHP closer Bubba Lear (6-2 3.13) with 15 saves in 57 game appearances.

Top Hitters: SS Trevor Tomlinson (.298 BA/8 HR/98 R/76 SB), 2B Glen Throckmorton (.277 BA/22 HR/78 RBI), 1B Rod MacCormack (.282 BA/19 HR/70 RBI) and C Howard Lombard (.282 BA/20 HR/69 RBI)
