The Wildcats, formerly based in Portland, are comprised of players from a variety of 2- and 4-year colleges, including a pair of recent Seaside High School graduates. Catcher Matt Hendryx (class of 2003) just completed his junior season at Pacific University of Forest Grove by being named to the All-Northwest Conference second team. Daniel Terranova (class of '05) is a hard throwing righthanded pitcher who played for Clackamas Community College this past spring. Concordia College righthander Kyle Corwin (Neah-Kah-Nie class of '04) is another name familiar to North Coast sports fans. Seaside High School head coach Joel Dierickx will assist head coach Gerald Bolden.
The Wildcats' season commenced with a road trip to California in late May and continues through the end of July.
Other teams in the league include the Portland Titans, Pacific (Portland) Javelinas, Seattle Studs, Everett Merchants, Skagit (Mount Vernon) Eagles and Langley, BC Blaze.
SportsRadio 1230 ESPN will broadcast 13 home games this season, beginning with Thursday's home opener against the Everett Merchants at 7:00 p.m. The play-by-play voice of Wildcats baseball is Tom Kolker with Matt Richert on color commentary. All home games will be played at Seaside's Broadway Field.

I'm just curious about the name of the league. Is it truly a league that uses wood bats only?
Yes. Not all of the college summer leagues use wooden bats, but this one does.
Nothing like the crack of a wood bat. I look forward to going to the games and seeing the talent level that will be brought to the coast.
