Pregame Notes: The Crushers had a busy night after Sunday’s 1-0 loss to Windy City. Outfielder and designated hitter Travis Vetters was released after the game. Vetter was hitting just .194 for the season with three home runs and 19 RBI. In the month of July, Vetters was just three for 32 with no extra base hits.
The team signed true rookie Casey McGrew, who is the third player this season the Crushers have signed from Wright State. A two-time Horizon League First teamer, McGrew hit a team high .383 this season for the Raiders. He led the Horizon League in hits and had 19 doubles, three triples, five home runs and 48 RBI. Last summer he played for the USA Collegiate National Team where he hit .341.
“He is a pretty good hitter,” Massarelli said. “He has some tools and put up some good numbers at Wright State. We will give him an opportunity and see what he can do. He is more of a gap-to-gap line drive hitter. He will probably hit for average.”
The pitching staff lost one but regained two. All-Star pitcher Travis Risser (5-2, 3.65) was placed on the seven-day disabled list. Risser left his start on Saturday in the fifth inning with a leg injury. Fellow starter Phil Rummel (2-4, 5.68), who was placed on the DL before the All-Star, was activated and will start tomorrow night’s game. Reliever Cristobal Mata was also activated for the DL. It was Mata’s second stint there. He has only pitched three innings for the Crushers this season.
