Bryan/College Station, Texas – May 25, 2018 – The Brazos Valley Bombers will kick off the 2018 TCL season on the road in Texarkana, Texas against the Texarkana Twins. This will be a rematch of the first-round playoff matchup from last season, a matchup which was won by the Bombers. Games will be played on both Friday and Saturday
This season the Bombers are led by first year manager Brian Nelson, who has both been a player and assistant coach on prior Bomber teams. The club is looking to get off to a strong start and will rely upon several local stars as the team awaits other players to complete their collegiate seasons. Players expected to be with the team on Opening Day include University of Texas utility player Bennett Inoff, Lamar first baseman Robin Adames, and Western Kentucky infielder Sam McElreath.
The Texarkana Twins will enter their second season as a part of the TCL, led by second year manager Jake Mitzner. After a first round exit in 2017, the club is looking to take the next level and has the roster to do so. The Twins roster features multi-tool star Gunner Halter, a pair of infielders from the BIG XII conference and four members of the University of Kentucky baseball team. Built heavily on the top JUCO players in the nation, the Twins will field a majority of their roster on opening day, giving them an advantage in the early portion of the TCL season, while other clubs wait for post season play to conclude in the NCAA.
Both games will be streamed live on ClutchTV. The Bombers return home on Tuesday for the second part of what will be a home and home series for the Bombers against the Twins.
