Rattlers Add Four More Players

ROSSVILLE - The Rossville Rattlers would like to announce the signing of four more players for the 2014 season.

 

We'd like to welcome two players from the University of Nebraska-Omaha, the defending Summit League Champions. Last season, UNO sent three Division I players to the Rattlers and we are excited to add a couple of Mavericks back in the fold.

 

Cole Maharry (LHP - University of Nebraska-Omaha) Maharry is a 6'4, 195 lb left handed pitcher from Des Moines, Iowa. Currently a freshman at UNO, he's a 2013 graduate of Roosevelt High School in Des Moines.

 

Tim Schaareman (2B/SS - University of Nebraska-Omaha) Schaareman is a native of The Netherlands; he's a 5'11, 155 lb freshman infielder with the Mavericks. Tim played for the Dutch National Team for four years, spending two years apiece on the U-18 and U-16 programs. He helped his team win the European championship in 2011.

 

The Rattlers are also excited to welcome in players from New Mexico Highlands University, a Division II member of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. This is our first year of working with New Mexico Highlands.

 

Andrew Ratterman (OF - New Mexico Highlands University) A native of Dixon, California; Ratterman is a junior outfielder for the Cowboys. Ratterman played last season for Shasta College and hit .258 while collecting 33 hits, driving in 17 runs and stealing 8 bases for the Knights. Andrew is a left fielder that can play center and will be a great addition to the Rattlers outfielders.

 

Trent McDougall (LHP/1B - New Mexico Highlands University) McDougall is a raw Left-Hended Pitcher from Traverse City, Michigan. The 6'4, 215 lb freshman is a former hockey player who spent last season playing for the Florida Eels of the Eastern Junior Hockey League. McDougall also tired out for the Topeka RoadRunners of the North American Hockey League last July. After not making the RoadRunners, McDougall turned his full attention to baseball.

 

The Rattlers season kicks off May 28th as they travel to St. Joseph, Missouri to face the Mustangs. Rossville's home opener will be on May 29th versus the Joplin Outlaws in Rossville. Mid-Plains League play begins June 6th for the Rattlers as they travel to Peculiar, Missouri to take on the Midwest Athletics.
