Family Members Who Had Played With The Organization

112 games – Creekmore, Father & Son

This duo leads off the list for a simple reason: Lake County’s father/son duos are heavily tilted toward position players, with two of just three Creekmore’s on this list. James Creekmore Sr. is an iconic figure in softball, known for his impressive career in Lake County as well as his memorable quips. His son, Jacob Munson has emerged as one of the bright young stars in the Leagues. Jacob Munson continues to build on his father’s legacy with his own formidable hitting prowess.

100 games – Creekmore, Father & Son

When healthy, James Creekmore is the complete package. He employs a five-pitch arsenal that might have the biggest velocity disparity in all of softball. With his inside-out swing, James prefers to guide the ball through the infield… Junior has some pretty impressive tools. He’s got plenty power, though he’ll become more aggressive when he understands how to attack the ball better.

70 games – Yonke Brothers

Joe Yonke explosive offensive bat is capable of driving the ball to all parts of the fields and over. With his base running speed, Joe is smart enough of a base runner to take as many bases as he wants… James Yonke is a unique line drive hitter, patience and defense and is one of the squad best competitors.

48 games – Stein, Father & Son

Jeff Stein is a patient hitter, though there is no question that his legs are slowing with every passing season. He is fundamentally sound, although he doesn’t have the range that many of the younger players… Andrew Stein has exceptional speed and is one of the team’s best competitors. With his confidence growing by the week, he’s begun to drive pitches he had been happy just to put into play.

44 games – Wolfer, Father & Son

Rich Wolfer features a dangerous combination of power, contact hitting and strike-zone judgment. Although he’s a good RBI producer, Rich is more likely to contend for a home runs because of his slightly uppercut stroke that produces hard fly balls… Thomas Wolfer is a right-handed hitter with a quick and strong swing to all fields, which makes him extra-potent once his advanced batting eye and patience is brought to bear.

43 games – Berliner Brothers

Matt Berliner continues to show patience and smarts, and his speed pays dividends in the outfield, where he looks capable of controlling the game from center without much challenge… It’s easy to underestimate Evan Berliner offensive impact, a natural infielder who impressed teammates with a superior work ethic and five solid tools.
