The Oilers roster is nearly complete with the addition of West Virginia University redshirt freshman infielder Jimmy Galusky, from Arthurdale, West Virginia, and freshman right-handed pitcher Shane Ennis, who hails from Romney, West Virginia. Also joining the 2015 Oilers is Fresno Pacific University redshirt junior left-handed pitcher Josh Medeles from Clovis, California.

Make plans to have your sons and daughters attend the various baseball clinics to be held in June. Oilers coaches and players will be conducting clinics from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in Seward and Homer on June 9, in Kenai on June 10 and in Soldotna on June 11.

Contact your local Little League organizations for times, locations and enrollment forms, which must be signed and turned in at the clinic. Information can also be obtained by contacting the Oilers office at 907-283-7133, ext 0. Follow the Oilers all season long at oilersbaseball.com.
