Aggie offensive leaders join the Bombers for the 5^th Anniversary Season

Bryan-College Station, TX (April 2, 2008)–

The Brazos Valley Bombers are thrilled to announce the signing of 3 major cornerstones to the 2011 roster. Three members of the Top 10 ranked Texas A&M Aggies will be joining the Bombers as they embark on a 5th consecutive playoff run. Junior - Jacob House, Sophomore – Ross Hales and Freshman – Krey Bratsen will call the Brazos Valley Bank Ballpark home this summer.

House and Hales will be back for a second year with the Bombers, after both posting great numbers last year. Together, they helped the Bombers break several club records last summer while helping lead the team to a record 32 win season. 

This Spring, House is currently hitting .297 and leading the Aggies in several batting categories including home runs (3), doubles (10) and RBI’s (28), while the left-handed Hales is currently posting a 1-1 record on the mound with an opponent batting average of only .219.

Krey Bratsen, born and raised here in Bryan, Texas is new to the group this summer, but has already begun making his presence heard locally. Bratsen is hitting .333 for the Aggies and has driven in 15 RBI with an on-base percentage of .389 as a freshman. Bratsen has been named Big 12 new comer of the week this season for the Aggies and was a four-year letter winner at Bryan High School, while helping the Vikings make the playoffs each year. 

Along with such great on-field news, the Bombers are thrilled to announce that thanks to Team Auto of Navasota all parking at Brazos Valley Bank Ballpark will be FREE! As gas prices have been rising, the Bombers wanted to continue in making their games that much more affordable. “We are very excited that Team Auto of Navasota General Manager Mike Vivaldi decided to step up and provide free parking for our community” said Chris Clark, Bombers General Manager.
