Broncos Travel Across America for Summer Ball
By Brandon Rebboah
wwww.SantaClaraBroncos.com
Summer and baseball have always seemed to fit together perfectly. For fans of the game, summer is a time to enjoy the sights, sounds and atmosphere of America's pastime, but for college baseball players, it is a time for development. College players across the country, including members of the Santa Clara baseball squad, have already left for their summer experiences just weeks after finals as they begin preparation for the 2013 season.
"Summer ball allows players to get more repetitions, particularly [players] that didn't play much during the college season," said Santa Clara Baseball Assistant Coach Mike Oseguera. "It is also a chance for players to learn about other programs and figure out how to be away from home. I love that it offers an environment similar to professional baseball in that you play everyday and have to manage your extra time to make sure that you eat, sleep and workout well."

Baseball Announces Fundraiser at Upscale Bowling Alley to go with Game 7 of Fall World Series
 This fall the Bronco Baseball program is hosting its first ever fundraiser at 300 San Jose, an upscale bowling alley designed for large corporate events. The event is scheduled for the evening of Friday, October 26 and will include dinner, bowling, a silent auction, and more.
The following day on Saturday, October 27, the Broncos will play Game 7 of the Bronco Baseball Fall World Series at Stephen Schott Stadium. The game is open to the public and will conclude the fall season for the Broncos. More information about both of these events will be coming out soon.
"Combining Game 7 of the Fall World Series with our event at 300 San Jose was a no-brainer for us," Head Coach Dan O'Brien said. "This way more alumni, parents, fans, and friends of the program can participate in our fall fundraiser and watch our guys play competitively before the spring season. We expect a large turnout and hope all of our fans will save the date for this great weekend."
