Bombers Fall to RiverDawgs in Season Opener

June 2, 2018 by ·

The Dubois County Bombers opened their 2018 campaign a day late and a couple runs short last night, falling to the Owensboro RiverDawgs 6-4. Nevertheless, there were a string of encouraging signs in the contest indicating a great likelihood of yet highly successful season for the Dubois County squad.

For starters, there was the starter – Renton Poole. Poole is now in his 3rd season with the Dubois County club. Among other awards and accomplishments over the past two summers, Poole is a returning OVL All-Star. Head coach Andy Lasher tabbed Poole to take the mound for the season’s lid-lifter.

Bombers In The Minors

September 20, 2017 by ·

Bomber fans are familiar with the names of Steve Cishek and Sean Manaea. Their banners hang in League Stadium. Both former Bombers now suit up for major league squads. Manaea is a core member of the Oakland A’s rotation in the midst of a breakout season. Cishek has notched over 120 career saves, pitching for the Marlins, Cardinals, Mariners, and Rays.

Which former Bombers might be the next to add to that collection of banners, representing players with Dubois County ties who made it to The Show?  Since players can’t get to the majors without going through the minors (generally speaking), let’s take a look at how former Bombers fared in the minor leagues this year.
