The Boomers, one of two expansion franchises in the Frontier League, will place RHP Robby Donovan on the mound this evening opposite the 2009 Frontier League Pitcher of the Year, LHP Paul Fagan, for Lake Erie, a 2011 playoff team. First-year manager Jamie Bennett will manage his first-ever regular season game this evening as the Boomers look to get off to a strong start to the season. A full list of firsts will take place tonight for the Boomers at All Pro Freight Stadium with plenty more firsts coming throughout the season on the road and at Boomers Stadium.

Being an expansion franchise in the Frontier League is not necessarily a bad thing. Last season, the Joliet Slammers, who also began with an entirely new organization, won the championship in its first year. Tonight’s opponent, the Lake Erie Crushers, claimed the title in 2009, its first season. Lake Erie has yet to post a losing season in its three years in the league with a pair of playoff appearances.
