Around The Bend

The Birmingham Brother Rice baseball team is just stacked to the gills with top-notch talent.

Not really much of a secret, taking in account the fact that club is 28-8, the two-time defending Catholic League champions and a current frontrunner in the race for BATTLECREEK 

Here's a look at some future Warriors' diamond studs that are cutting their teeth as Fab Frosh for the Brother Rice SPRING BALLER BRIGADE this year;

Karl Kauffman (P/IF) – This kid is COLD-BLOODED….earned the win toeing the slab in relief this weekend in the regional title contest against Northville. Will be a rock-solid presence in the TEAM RIKER lineup for the next 3 seasons…TAKE IT 2 THE BANK!!         

Jeff Timko (C/OF) – Possesses the genes of a playmaker (his sister is Pontiac NDP all-state soccer scoring machine Taylor Timko) and is learning from the best at his two positions. Showing all the signs of a soon-to-be Orange&Black SHREDDER!!

Preston Pilat (OF/P) – Fluid in the field with his glove, fleet-footed on the base paths while displaying a quick swing and sound instincts in between the lines.
