It didn't take long for Battle Creek to replace the Southwest Michigan Devil Rays, who left to become the Midwest League's Great Lakes Loons in Midland. This season introduced the Battle Creek Bombers who are competing in the Northwoods Baseball League. The Northwoods League is a non-professional league that consists of current NCAA college players looking to expand their skills with some summer ball. The Bombers roster has players from local colleges such as Central Michigan, and from larger Division I schools such as UCLA and Nebraska. They also play at C.O. Brown Stadium, former home of Class A teams Michigan Battle Cats, Battle Creek Yankees, and SWM Devil Rays.
The Bombers are just 2-6 in the second half of the season, but have four players on the Northwoods All-Star team who play their game this Wednesday. Here is the official website of the team:
