Cottrell to re-join Bucks

Ben Cottrell has once again garnered a stint with the Waterloo Bucks of the Northwoods League, which showcases collegiate baseball players. Cottrell will join the Bucks on Monday for an undetermined period of time and will likely resume pitching for the Ramblers later this summer.

Cottrell made his debut with Waterloo on Aug. 6 of last year. In that outing Cottrell got a no-decision after throwing six innings against the Battle Creek Bombers. He gave up three hits, three walks, three runs (two earned) and struck out two. Cottrell went on to make one more start for the Bucks last season, going five innings and again getting a no-decision.

Cottrell was the Ramblers' best starter in 2010, leading the team with 10 victories while posting a 3.07 ERA and 69 strikeouts in 73.1 innings of work. The Loras College standout recorded a 4-1 record to go with a 2.23 ERA in 40.1 innings as a Duhawk this past season.
