Fresh off of a Summer Collegiate World Series Championship, the Battle Creek Bombers have promoted Cory Evans to Assistant General Manager.  In his first year as the Director of Sales, Evans helped the Bombers to one of the largest turnarounds in Northwoods League history.  Evans was instrumental in helping the Bombers branch out into the community of Battle Creek as the Bombers increased their attendance by 49% (largest NWL attendance increase since 2002).  The Bombers also had a 23 game win increase which marked the largest turnaround in Northwoods League history.

“Cory was a key asset to many of the things we were able to accomplish in 2011.  Our organization is very lucky to have Cory with us for the 2012 season.”  said Bombers GM Brian Colopy.

Evans recently graduated from Southern Virginia University with a major of Physical Education and Recreational Administration.  While at Southern Virginia University, Evans became a 4-time Academic All-American and was also a two year Captain of the Men’s Basketball team. Evans brings a very strong sports and sales background to the Bombers team.  Evans has played baseball throughout his life and was also a very successful collegiate basketball player.  Evans has worked for Pinnacle Security and Elite-ADT Security where he was an Advertising Director and an Assistant Sales Manager.

“It was so exciting to be a part of the first ever championship season for the Bombers” Evans said.  “I look forward to helping the Bombers organization to build off of that success and I am grateful for all of the community support this last season.”

Evans currently resides in Battle Creek with his wife Lindsay and their 2 year old child Owen.
