The Region's Team Of Northwest Indiana

Behind every great team is a great pitching staff. The Oilmen are no exception. The Oilmen's ability to hold opponents to low scores always allows the team to have a chance to win. Oilmen pitchers RJ Bergren, Carlos Canelon, Troy Vosburgh, Kam Couch, and Tyler Laux all have an ERA of 0 with 6.2 innings pitched or greater. This is a remarkable feat for the Oilmen. The Oilmen have been able to count on quality starts and lockdown relief to come away on top of close games. Controlling the count and allowing pitchers to trust themselves has ushered in this era of excellence for the team from Whiting, Tyler Zunkel will look to use the excellence of his pitching staff to carry the Oilmen in the second half. The race atop the league is close, with Elkhart County only one game back of the Oilmen at 18-6.
