The Montesutti Ballclub - 1871

27-year-old Casey Levin, who they called Bijou on account of how small he was as a boy and the name just stuck, will be the starting pitcher for the Montesutti club. He handles the ball well but the people of Montesutti have speculated that he may get too tired to finish an entire ballgame himself.

30-year-old Justin Lundin would start if Levin couldn't or would be the long reliever if Levin got in trouble early. Lundin doesn't have much experience playing ball as he never really liked to as a kid and only joined the team because the mayor insisted and because his son insisted it would be fun.

29-year-old Colin Benell would be the middle reliever, and the local paper rated his ability at 3.5/5.

30-year-old Justin Stephens would pitch in the 6th inning or later if necessary in order to set up for 32-year-old Adam Ewer, who is the best pitcher on the team aside from maybe Casey Levin, but Ewer gets tired real quickly so he'll be the stopper.

25-year-old Luke Story is a speedster who likes to play the outfield and is quite good at it too, so it was decided he would bat first and play at center field.

37-year-old Jody Brown would bat 2nd and play left field. Everyone remembers Jody being the best of them all when they played as kids, but he's 37 now and that's older than most of the guys who are playing in these contests so that'll likely hold him up a bit. Jordan Anderson, who writes for the local paper and has been looking for ways to keep busy lately, rated him a 3/5 in his piece on the upcoming ballgames.

27-year-old Bobby Hamilton is batting 3rd and playing in right field. Hamilton runs so fast that Mayor Jimerson started calling him Turbo after their first practice and the rest of the guys picked up on it too. He's the best hitter of the lot too, getting a 5/5 from Anderson in the Montesutti Gazette.

32-year-old Rich Donnell would bat next and play at first base. He's nothing special in the field but can hit the ball well.

35-year-old Jared Hunsicker would bat 5th and play 3B. Jared is short and a little bit fat and a little bit of an odd personality, so everyone was a bit surprised to see how well he did in the batter's box during practice.

30-year-old John Mull was to bat 6th and play catcher. He's even shorter than Hunsicker and can get down in that squat real easy so he makes a pretty good catcher and a decent hitter too.

32-year-old Travis Watts would play shortstop and bat 7th. He's not as good as the other hitters listed prior to this and is the only one Anderson gave below a 4/5 besides Jody and besides Ryan Rae, who would play 2B and bat 8th.

34-year-old Bobby Sapp and 28-year-old Eric Schatzel wouldn't start the game but would come into play or pinch hit if necessary throughout the game.
