St. Mary’s teammate and sophomore right-handed pitcher Billy Oxford, of Peoria, Arizona, will also be joining the local team. Another new addition to the team is freshman right-handed pitcher Justin Montgomery, of Corona, California, who plays for former Oilers and current Cal Baptist University head coach Gary Adcock. The Lancers staff also includes assistant coach Jesse Zepeda, who was an infielder on the 1994 National Baseball Congress World Series Champion Peninsula Oilers.
