Dustin Houle had a great year this past season, so good that it has landed him a spot one of the top teams in the PBL (Premier Baseball League). Dustin, 15, has joined the Langley Blaze in his grade 11 year of his young career. He had a good showing at the Okanagan Regional ID camp.

Congratulations to our SOMBA Graduate, Tyler Andrew, who has been recruited to play College Ball in Kelowna this coming year. Tyler started with us three seasons ago and has been solid as our Tiger's Catcher.

SOMBA has now expanded its international program to include national Midget AAA players. If you know of, or are a Canadian, aged 15-17 (grade 10-12), and would like to train/play ball year round in Penticton with the Tigers, please click on the Internatl button to find out more about this program. Our two Japanese students have just completed a full year with the Tigers, and we are delighted to have them both back with us again for the 2009-10 season.
