Presently, Bayardi is hitting .360 with seven home runs and 50 RBI for the Runnin\u2019 Rebels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<st1:city>Brandon<\/st1:city> is having an explosive spring at UNLV as a true freshman and we are excited to bring him to <st1:place><st1:city>Battle Creek<\/st1:city><\/st1:place> this summer. Area fans will want to come out early and often to see this blooming superstar,\u201d said Eldridge.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;Sean Deegan will become a Bomber as he joins the team in the outfield this summer. Deegan, a sophomore at <st1:place><st1:placename>Penn<\/st1:placename> <st1:placetype>State<\/st1:placetype> <st1:placetype>University<\/st1:placetype><\/st1:place>, currently has a batting average of .285, with 22 RBIs and three home runs. A skilled base runner, Deegan has stolen 24 bases this season alone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;\u201cSean is lightning quick on the bases and creates havoc for opponents,\u201d said Eldridge. \u201cA top of the order hitter, Sean will be expected to ignite the Bombers offense throughout much of the coming summer, and as a solid defender, he will take away a lot of opponent\u2019s hits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;Navarro Hall will be wearing a Bombers uniform this summer after completing this season as a redshirt sophomore at the <st1:place><st1:placetype>University<\/st1:placetype> of <st1:placename>Kentucky<\/st1:placename><\/st1:place>.&nbsp; An outfielder from <st1:city>Kennesaw<\/st1:city>, <st1:country-region>Georgia<\/st1:country-region>, Hall recorded a .400 batting average with two home runs in his freshman season at <st1:place><st1:country-region>UK<\/st1:country-region><\/st1:place>. Hall was a 49<sup>th<\/sup> round pick of the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2007 MLB Draft.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNavarro is a former Player of the Year in <st1:country-region><st1:place>Georgia<\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region> and possesses great talent on both the offensive and defensive sides of the game. We are looking for Navarro to provide a great spark to the Bombers offense this year,\u201d said Eldridge.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Lawrence has committed to playing in Battle Creek this year as an outfielder with the Bombers. A redshirt sophomore at Boston College, Lawrence is currently posting a .271 batting average with 11 RBIs and two home runs.&nbsp; Redshirted his freshman year as an Eagle, Lawrence totaled eight home runs and 76 RBIs during his high school career at St. Christopher\u2019s in Richmond, Virginia.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAndrew is a solid defender in the outfield and a tough out at the plate, as he handles the bat well enough to use the entire field,\u201d said Eldridge. \u201cAndrew can play all of the outfield positions and in addition to a strong arm he covers a lot of ground.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;Josh Rosecrans, from <st1:place><st1:city>Edmond<\/st1:city>,  <st1:state>Oklahoma<\/st1:state><\/st1:place>, has been added to the Bombers 2010 roster as an infielder and catcher. A sophomore at <st1:place><st1:placename>Grayson<\/st1:placename> <st1:placetype>Community College<\/st1:placetype><\/st1:place>, Rosecrans has collected 72 RBIs and 14 home runs while batting .469.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA diamond in the rough best describes Josh. After a spring at <st1:place><st1:placename>Wichita<\/st1:placename> <st1:placetype>State<\/st1:placetype><\/st1:place>, Josh found a home at Grayson CC and he has been explosive at the plate and on the mound, \u201d Eldridge said.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Bombers begin their 2010 season on June 2<sup>nd<\/sup> before returning home for their home opener versus the Waterloo Bucks on June 4<sup>th<\/sup>.
