Last season, Ryan made the transition from starter to closer for the D&E hardballers. Not only did he move to the bullpen, he did it with style, as he set a school record with 10 saves; had an era of 2.57 to go along with his 3 – 1 record. With his help on the backside of the staff, the Senators made strides in 2009 by finishing second in the Central Division of the WVIAC and qualified for the conferences post season tournament.

"Baseball will take our
people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them
a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from
being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses,
and be a blessing to us."
Walt Whitman
Originally a labor of love and small clandestine
operation in a basement just a stone’s throw from Rosenblatt
Stadium in Omaha, Nebraska, Ping!Baseball has grown to become
a robust group whose dynamic membership celebrates the athletes,
excitement and emotion of the game.
Ping!Baseball's goal is to appeal to not
just hardcore fans, but to casual and new fans as well, providing
profiles and news in an informative, yet simple and entertaining
manner. We are open to any comments, suggestions or inquiries
that you may have.
