The baseball and fastpitch teams around the South Puget Sound League aren’t going to be big fans of facing the Todd Beamer Titans this spring. Beamer will feature two of the best pitchers in the area in Matt Bower and Emma Blauser. The pair both inked their national letters of intent last week
in a ceremony at Beamer on the first day of the early-signing period for recruits. “They are both not only great players, but also great kids,” said Beamer Athletic Director Jerry Peterson. “We wish them both the best of luck.” Bower, a lanky lefthanded pitcher, signed to pitch at the UniverMatt Bower sity of Washington. Blauser, a right-hander, will play softball at Western Washington. Despite pitching every game for the Titans during her career, Blauser will be a middle infielder in college.
Bower was Beamer’s ace as a junior, ending up with a 4-4 record and a 3.90 earned-run average for the Titans. He struck out 46 hitters in just 37 2/3 innings of work and was a second-team, All-SPSL South selection as a pitcher. “I really liked the coaches and the way they play the game,” said Bower, who has a 3.5 grade-point average. “They really know a lot about the game and are an up-and-coming program.” Washington finished 17-37 last year under head coach Lindsey Meggs and were just 6-21 in the rugged Pac10 Conference. But the Huskies are starting to recruit more talent and are currently building a $4 million UW [ more SIGNINGS page 18 ]
