Eau Claire, Wis. – The Eau Claire Express today announced two roster additions to the 2016 roster from a familiar school. Outfielder Erick Migueles and infielder Jared Mang from the University of New Mexico will bring Eau Claire’s roster to 13 just a couple months before opening day.

Mang is also a freshman for the Lobos.
