El Segundo Baseball Team Begins 18-Game Trip
The El Segundo Blues American Legion baseball team, featuring past and present El Segundo High players, begins an 18-game trip today through Montana and Wyoming.
El Segundo faces Coeur d’Alene, Ida., in the first round of the Whitefish Tournament at Kalispell, Mont. The tournament runs through Sunday. The team then has games at Billings, Mont., and Sheridan, Wyo., before opening play in the Miles City Tournament at Miles City, Mont., on Wednesday. The trip concludes with a doubleheader at Great Falls, Mont., on July 15.
El Segundo (14-1) recently won the Bay Pacific League title to qualify for the American Legion area playoffs beginning July 20 at Blair Field in Long Beach.
The team includes four players who earned All-CIF honors last season: shortstop Brett Newell, catcher Jeff Poor, outfielder Chris Feeny and left-handed pitcher Brian Wise.
Completing the squad are third baseman Lawrence Norris, second baseman Scott Sutherland, first-baseman Tracy McAndrews, outfielders Ben Anderson and T.D. Mayer, outfielder-pitcher David Scanlan, infielder-outfielder Jim Zambarelli, catcher-outfielder Ken Zunker and pitchers Matt Gangawere, Jamin Kear and Hauss Hancock.
El Segundo is being coached by Jack Wayt, Greg McMullin and Steve Newell in the absence of John Stevenson, who is sitting out the American Legion season because of recent heart surgery.
