Posted on March 29, 2012 by gvbawebmaster

Story and Photos by Christian J. Stewart (ISN) – If the height of your pitching staff was the only criteria for winning a BC Premier Baseball League championship, then the powers that be should be handing the banner to the Victoria Eagles today.  On Wednesday night in their 11-6 exhibition game win over the visiting Sherwood Park, Alberta Athletics, the Eagles trotted out six different pitchers, five of which topped 6'0 or greater on the height charts. This included Brendan Miller, Brett Hull and Kurt Horne, all who are listed at 6'4", the towering Mackenzie Catto, listed at 6'7" and Brandon Feldman, listed at 6'0".
