Invaders' Short signs with Yankees

 Roswell Invaders closer Charley Short was signed by the New York Yankees organization, announced last night.  Short had been nothing shy of dominant this season in the Pecos League.  The Barry University alum had an 0.60 ERA in 15 innings with 28 strikeouts and was six-for-six in save opportunities for Roswell.

Short will not be missed by the Cowboys, who were batting .055 (1/18) in four games against him.  The lone hit against him was an infield single by Justin McDavid, and Short had struck out 12 Alpine batters without allowing a walk.

One of Roswell’s strengths is their bullpen.  Simon Walters may look to Dakota Luefenburg or Brandon Godfrey to assume the ninth inning role.
