Coach Pedersen is pleased with the staff changes, and optimistic heading into the season. "Of course it's tough to lose Ben, he's done a great job for us the past four seasons, but baseball is his passion, and this will be a good move for him. I'm very excited to add Tom to the staff. He was a great player for us, known for being a technically sound and high effort player. I believe he'll instill the same characteristics with our guys. He's a great addition for us."
The Pioneers will host an intrasquad scrimmage Saturday, August 31 at 1:00 on Rosenbloom Field. The home opener is against Beloit Saturday, September 28.
