Saxonburg calls on Colt players to fill the roster and make it to the BCABL final round.

JEFFERSON TWP — Saxonburg manager Pete McMillen had reason for feeling a bit uneasy entering Saturday's Butler County Area Baseball League elimination game against Center Township.

Due to scheduling conflicts, McMillen was forced to call up four players from Saxonburg's Colt League team — Brayden Tristani, Blaze Voltz, Caleb Traggiai and Isaiah Seybert — to ensure his squad would have enough players.

All four players started and played a role in Saxonburg prevailing with a 5-3 victory at Laura Doerr Park to advance to Tuesday's championship round against Cranberry Township.

“The Colt team's season ended about two weeks ago,” said McMillen. “I started making calls Thursday to see who from that team could play for us tonight. They all produced and I'm proud of the feeder system we have here in Saxonburg. Those players proved they belonged here tonight.”
