March 30th, 2008

Aurora, IL

The Aurora Dolan & Murphy Shamrocks are pleased to announce the signing of 3 pitchers for the 2008 season.

Jonas Mach will be returning to the staff and should expect plenty of innings again this year.  Bobby Ginger will also be making a return after a 4-year stint with the Bloomington Stix.  Bobby was a mainstay in Aurora for many years, and we are excited to have him back. Doug Gillis will be joining the Shamrocks after many years as a formidable opponent.  Doug’s reputation and accomplishments precede him.  We look forward to having Doug on our side in 2008.

More 2008 Roster and Schedule details to follow in the coming weeks.
