\\\"Dan_Dispensa\\\"<\/p>\n

The Bombers have re-signed Dan Dispensa of Western Illinois University for the 2011 season. Dispensa is the third returning player on the roster; University of Michigan\u2019s Chad Jasman and Taylor University\u2019s Ryne Otis are the other announced Bombers returning to Battle Creek.<\/p>\n

\u201cDan was a great clubhouse guy last year and one of our best workers.  He can hit, steal bases, and play anywhere in the outfield.  He gives our coaching staff the ability to play different guys in different positions depending on what type of pitcher we might face that night,\u201d said Bombers General Manager Brian Colopy.<\/p>\n

Dan Dispensa: <\/strong>6\u20190-185, L\/R, OF, Western Illinois Univ. (So.), Chicago, IL. <\/em><\/p>\n

Dispensa played in 62 of 70 games for the Bombers in 2010, hit .232 and drove in 11 runs. This season for Western Illinois, he has improved, hitting .322 (second highest on team) with seven RBIs and an on-base percentage of .459. He has started all 16 games he\u2019s played in for the 3-15 Leathernecks. A natural athlete, Dispensa played football for WIU his freshman season.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Bombers are set to begin their 5th<\/sup> season on June 1, 2011 in the Prestigious Northwoods League. For tickets, fans can call (269)962-0735 or visit www.BattleCreekBombers.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
