| Hey, just a little info for the tournament. In '03 when we were there, you had a program. I'm sending it to a couple of people, if it's not your lane, maybe you could help direct to someone else. If not, I'm sorry for the SPAM! gilby The Augusta Athletics just completed their 20 Season in the Chippewa River Baseball League, by returning to to the WBA Tourney. Last season, the 1994 WBA State Champs missed the chance after finishing with a 9-9 league record. the A's rebounded with a 12-6 league mark, including an eight game winning streak mid-season, that clinched an appearance at Haugen. Augusta is paced at the plate by right-fielder Shane Dutton, first-baseman/pitcher Ben Morrison, second-baseman and rookie catcher Wes Fleischer. The pitching staff is deep with Morrison, Pat Hawker, Jake Krueger and Jess Bailey seeing most of the work. Shortstop John Elkins, third-baseban Scott Gibson and center-fielder Olie Wold have been very solid defensively. The Athletics are led by first year manager Mike Gilbertson. Gilbertson joined the A's in 1981, playing under team Founder/Manager Jan Krueger. Under Krueger, who passed away in 2005, the Athletics compiled a 19 year CRBL record of 228-103. In addition to the 1994 WBA State Championship, Augusta made championship game appearances in 1993 and 2002. I hope that works for a program. If not, call me at 715-533-4733. Leave a message if needed. We'll see you Friday night. Please and Thanks! Mike GilbertsonAugusta Athletics
