Rocky Rapids Has Rocky Road In RU West
The Rocky Rapids Snappers tumbled from fifth place in 2002 down to seventh place in 2003. Looks like more of the same in 2004 according to the baseball experts. Manager Ryan Noland has just about the same ballclub with none of the new arrivals expected to kickstart them to a first division team. The Snappers will fight Fort Benton for seventh place with the loser getting the cellar spot. Neither club seems to have improved this season.

Noland, the all-time strikeout king in the industrial league, will try to develop three rookie hurlers, Righthanders Ernie Watkins and Glen Quarles, along with a lefty Herbie Drahm. None of them throw nearly as hard as Noland in his heyday. Rocky Rapids will use them as spot starters and long relief.

As far as position players, the Snappers have signed outfielder Marvin Loomis, who is projected to be a utility outfielder.

Best Pitchers: Kirk Beckmann (18-10 3.17), Clay Milwaine (13-10 3.59)

Best Hitters: 1B Stan Haddix (.293 BA/26 HR/113 RBI/95 R), LF Scott Camden (.290 BA/17 HR/86 RBI/95 R/25 SB), CF Terry Hecht (.268 BA/16 HR/68 RI/101 R/31 SB), 2B Timmy Peters (.250 BA/15 HR/72 RBI/102 R), 3B Phil Cates (.301 BA/5 HR/60 RBI/66 R)
