Nevertheless, adhering to a long-standing policy of developing players within the system, the Rebels quickly rebuilt the ball club and, under the patience and guidance of the Coach, the team marked the beginning of yet another Rebels’ youth movement, and was notable for the emergence of Infielder’s Ross Jensen, Dallas Rixie, Dylan Florio, James Gillespie and outfielders Ryan Pilotte and Zach Smole, as bona-fide stars. The Squad finished with a 13-7 record that placed them third on Thursday Nights, (a 20-20 over-all summer season record). Rick Garza, Jason Palmer and Kevin Lowery again provided highlights, with the efforts of Jonathan Schumacher, Joey Ratliff, Nestor Toro and Jeff Wilson.
The Rebel Club finish the Fall league with a 14 – 4 record, and took second place overall.
