New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit is headed back to the injured list with a sports hernia and could be sidelined well into September if he needs surgery, manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday.

Boone said the Yankees will evaluate Voit over the next few days. Options include treating the injury on a day-to-day basis or having surgery, which would keep him out of the lineup for six weeks.

"Over the next 24 hours, we'll determine a course of action," Boone said. "Hopefully it's a shorter-term situation with Luke, but worst-case, we'll hopefully have him back before the end of the season, and we have all the people capable of withstanding that."

Voit left Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks in the fifth inning and had an MRI following the game.

One of Voit's swings during an at-bat in the bottom of the third that ended in a strikeout raised a few eyebrows in the Yankees' dugout, as they thought something looked a little off. Voit later told Boone and the training staff that he had been having trouble getting loose all day.

Voit is batting .278 with 19 homers and 54 RBIs in 94 games.

This is the second time this season that he's dealt with an injury around his torso. On July 2, he landed on the 10-day IL due to an abdominal strain.

Boone couldn't definitively say whether the two core-muscle injuries were related, but they certainly appear to be.

"That's possible that there's some correlation there," Boone said. "This is something that frankly goes back before that [July 2 injury]. Something that's been in there for a while. The sports hernia that has declared itself now, is the best way I can kind of put it."

Also, All-Star infielder DJ LeMahieu will miss his fourth straight game Wednesday because of a groin injury. He is tied with Boston's Rafael Devers for the AL lead in batting average at .332.

Boone said LeMahieu is likely to return for Friday's series opener against the Red Sox.

Starting pitcher CC Sabathia, who went on the injured list Sunday, received a cortisone injection in his often-balky right knee Tuesday, Boone said.

In other moves, the Yankees placed right-hander David Hale on the injured list with a lumbar spine strain and recalled right-hander Jonathan Holder and infielder Breyvic Valera from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Valera is an option to help replace Voit, and he also could provide relief for LeMahieu at any of his infield positions if needed. Once back in the lineup, LeMahieu can play first base in place of Voit, as can Edwin Encarnacion, who started there Wednesday.

Third baseman Gio Urshela also is an option at first base as Voit rehabs. Greg Bird, however, is not, as he remains in an early rehab phase of a plantar fascia tear at the team's complex in Tampa, Florida.

Pro Football Hall of Fame middle linebacker Nick Buoniconti, an undersized overachiever who helped lead the Miami Dolphins to the NFL's only perfect season, has died at the age of 78.

"Today, with a heavy heart and profound sorrow, my family and the entire Miami Project to Cure Paralysis and Buoniconti Fund community mourn the loss of a man who was truly larger than life, my father, NFL Hall of Famer Nick Buoniconti," Marc Buoniconti said in a statement. "My dad has been my hero and represents what I have always aspired to be: a leader, a mentor and a champion.

Family spokesman Bruce Bobbins said Nick Buoniconti died Tuesday in Bridgehampton, New York. A cause of death wasn't immediately known.

A native of Springfield, Massachusetts, Buoniconti played guard on offense and linebacker on defense for Notre Dame. But at 5-foot-11 and 220 pounds, he was small for an NFL linebacker.

Buoniconti was taken in the 13th round by the Boston Patriots of the upstart AFL and played for them from 1962 to 1968. He made the AFL All-Star Game six times and had 24 career interceptions for the Patriots, including three in a single game in 1968.

Buoniconti played for the Miami Dolphins from 1969 to 1974 and in 1976. He was the leader of Miami's famed "No-Name Defense,'' and in 1973 he set a team record with 162 tackles.

He was an eight-time Pro Bowler and won Super Bowl titles with the Dolphins in 1972, for a team that finished 17-0, and 1973. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2001.

He said in November 2017 that he would donate his brain for CTE research. He revealed in May of that year that he was suffering from memory loss and could not use his left hand, among other ailments.

After his son Marc was paralyzed at age 19 while playing football, Buoniconti was a driving force behind the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, raising hundreds of millions of dollars for research. Nick and Marc were on a Wheaties box in 1997 as part of the Miami Project.

"He selflessly gave all to football, to his family and to those who are less fortunate," Marc Buoniconti said in his statement. "He made a promise to me that turned into a revolution in paralysis research. We can best honor his dedication and endless commitment by continuing with our work until that promise is fulfilled and a cure is found,"

Nick Buoniconti also had a successful post-football career in broadcasting and business.

Following retirement, Buoniconti worked as an attorney, as president of U.S. Tobacco and as an agent to such athletes as Bucky Dent and Andre Dawson.

First baseman Jesus Aguilar has been traded from the Milwaukee Brewers to the Tampa Bay Rays, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan on Wednesday.

Right-hander Jake Faria is headed back to Milwaukee in the deal.

Aguilar, an All-Star in 2018, fills the Rays' search for a right-handed bat. He is hitting .225 with eight home runs and 34 RBIs this season. His batting average and OPS (.694) were both his worst in three seasons in Milwaukee, but his numbers were up to .298 and .920 in July.

The 29-year-old is arbitration eligible for three more seasons.

He had a career year last season with a .274 average, 35 homers and 108 RBIs.

Faria, 26, has thrown 10 innings this season and has a 2.70 ERA. He has appeared in 40 MLB games -- with 26 starts -- over three seasons and has a 4.18 ERA and 9-8 record.

The Brewers are currently 1.5 games out of first place in the NL Central and one game out of a wild-card spot. The Rays are 7.5 games out of first in the AL East and a half-game out of a wild-card spot.

Major League Baseball's trade deadline is at 4 p.m. ET.

CINCINNATI -- Major League Baseball is reviewing video of the latest fight between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds, with Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle expecting suspensions on both sides.

Reds manager David Bell, who had already been ejected earlier in the game, faces a significant suspension for running onto the field and going after Hurdle during the ninth inning of Pittsburgh's 11-4 win Tuesday night.

Hurdle spoke with chief baseball officer Joe Torre before Wednesday's game, which will conclude the raucous series. Hurdle said MLB was reviewing video of the numerous confrontations during the game. One of the confrontations turned into a fight in the ninth when Reds reliever Amir Garrett charged the Pittsburgh dugout.

Four from each team were ejected, including Yasiel Puig, who was traded Tuesday night to the Cleveland Indians.

"Yeah, I anticipate suspensions, and seeing some of the things that our guys were involved with, there definitely could be ramifications coming our way as well," Hurdle said.

On Wednesday, Hurdle pulled starting pitcher Dario Agrazal in the fourth inning after the right-hander hit the Reds' Tucker Barnhart and Jesse Winker with pitches. Umpires got together, but decided against ejecting Agrazal before Hurdle came out to make the change. Both Reds players went to first base without further incident.

The NL Central rivals have a history of run-ins that crept into this season when Derek Dietrich admired his home run at PNC Park in April, prompting a fracas. Puig was at the center of the fight, taking on the Pirates by himself at one point. Puig got a two-game suspension and Bell a one-game ban.

Tempers flared again Tuesday night in the eighth inning when Keone Kela threw up-and-in to Dietrich. Joey Votto yelled into the Pirates dugout between innings, taking exception to the pitch.

Bell was then ejected for arguing after a strike was called during Puig's at-bat in the eighth.

Jared Hughes hit Starling Marte with his first pitch in the ninth, bringing things to a boil. Garrett later traded words from the mound with Pittsburgh's Trevor Williams, who was in the dugout. Garrett ran to the dugout and started swinging as the benches emptied.

Bell emerged from the Reds dugout and ran across the field toward Hurdle, who was shoved to the ground. Pirates hitting coach Rick Eckstein got Bell in a headlock, and Bell screamed profanities at Hurdle as he left the field.

"There's a lot of adrenaline and even rage," Bell said Wednesday.

Bell contends the Pirates throw at batters purposely and has complained that Major League Baseball hasn't clamped down. Bell and Hurdle exchanged lineup cards with the umpires before Wednesday's game but didn't interact.

"I told him exactly how I felt about it last night," Bell said.

Hurdle pointed out pregame Wednesday that he was hit in the head three times as a player. He said he's never told one of his pitchers to throw at a hitter, contrary to Bell's opinion.

"He's going to think what he thinks; he's going to feel what he feels," Hurdle said. "I just shared with him, as he was telling me what I was [during the brawl]. I just said, 'You have no idea what you're talking about.'"

Bell, Puig, Garrett and bench coach Freddie Benavides were ejected from the Reds. Williams, Chris Archer, Kyle Crick and Francisco Cervelli -- who is on the injured list -- were ejected from the Pirates.

Garrett said Wednesday that he can't explain how he lost his cool and charged the Pirates dugout.

"I don't know what to say," Garrett said. "I got out of character. That's not my character. I don't pretend to be a tough guy."

The Washington Nationals have acquired right-handed reliever Daniel Hudson from the Toronto Blue Jays, sources confirmed to ESPN's Jeff Passan.

Toronto gets 23-year-old right-handed pitching prospect Kyle Johnston in return. He is 9-9 with a 4.03 ERA in 20 starts at the Class A level this season.

Hudson, 32, was seen leaving the Blue Jays bullpen and hugging teammates before heading to the clubhouse during Wednesday's game in Kansas City.

He is 6-3 this season with 2 saves, 48 strikeouts and a 3.00 ERA, which is his lowest mark since posting a 2.45 ERA across 95 1/3 innings in 2010.

We got off to a slow start to the trade deadline, and then Marcus Stroman was traded to the New York Mets, and then we had the three-team blockbuster Tuesday night that sent Trevor Bauer to the Cincinnati Reds, Yasiel Puig, Franmil Reyes and Logan Allen to the Cleveland Indians and Taylor Trammell to the San Diego Padres. That was fun. What will happen before the MLB trade deadline arrives on Wednesday? Those two trades were certainly unpredictable, so maybe that foretells a crazy few hours before the 4 p.m. ET deadline hits. Here are some final questions to consider:

What will the Mets do?

With their playoff odds hovering below 10%, the Mets put a monkey wrench into the final days before the deadline when they acquired Stroman, one of the best starters available and who was presumably headed to a contender in a stronger position than the Mets. Instead, the Mets got him without giving up a top-100 prospect -- a trade many considered a great deal for the Mets.

Stroman is signed through next season, so the trade was sold as a rotation addition for 2020, but the Mets have remained on the fringes of the wild-card race, with five straight wins. They traded Jason Vargas, who was very good the past two months, for a catcher hitting .195 in Double-A. Where does that leave the Mets for Wednesday? They have four options:

• A. Trade Noah Syndergaard

• B. Trade Zack Wheeler

• C. Trade Edwin Diaz

• D. Trade some combination of the above

• E. Do nothing

This being the Mets, they'll probably try Option F. The unknown part of the Syndergaard equation: If the Mets are going for it in 2020, isn't their best chance of winning to ride a front three of Jacob deGrom, Syndergaard and Stroman? The same sort of applies to Diaz, while Wheeler is a free agent after this season and likely will be traded.

If the Mets flip Syndergaard for a package that can help in 2020, such a deal could involve a trade partner such as the Padres, who have MLB-ready talent and a deep farm system (though a report from USA Today's Bob Nightengale on Tuesday night said those talks are dormant). The Padres made the big deal on Tuesday, but they didn't get the controllable veteran starter they've been seeking to add to their rotation.

On the other hand, you can see the Astros' analytics department salivating about working with Syndergaard like it has in raising Gerrit Cole's game. (Suggestion No. 1: Syndergaard has allowed a .750 OPS on his four-seamer and an .860 OPS on his sinker, but he has thrown his sinker more often.) The Astros might be a tough match, however, as Forrest Whitley, who entered the season as the top pitching prospect in the game, has suffered through a lost season (10.97 ERA), and outfielder Kyle Tucker is a corner guy when the Mets need a center fielder. The Braves would be a match with all their young pitching, but an intra-division trade -- or one with the Yankees -- would seem unlikely.

With Stroman and Bauer off the market, Syndergaard's value has probably gone up, and it didn't hurt that he pitched one of his best games of the season on Tuesday, allowing one unearned run with 11 strikeouts in 7⅓ innings against the White Sox. After the game, Syndergaard told reporters, "I think I'm staying put."

Prediction: Zack Wheeler to the Astros.

What does the Bauer trade do to the starting pitching market?

To get Bauer, the Reds gave up a top-30 prospect in Taylor Trammell, who is struggling at Double-A (.236/.350/.338) but has loud tools and defensive chops in center field. The Reds' playoff odds are at just 4.2%, so acquiring Bauer is more about aligning him with Luis Castillo and Sonny Gray for 2020 -- unless the Reds decide to flip him. At this point, don't rule anything out.

Leaving out Bauer, the starting-pitching market looks something like this: Madison Bumgarner, Mike Minor, Robbie Ray, Zack Greinke, the two Mets, Tanner Roark ... maybe Matthew Boyd or Caleb Smith.

Who is looking for a starter? The Yankees ... the Astros ... maybe the Braves and Twins. One factor to consider is that this winter's free-agent market is thin outside of Cole and Bumgarner. That makes a pitcher such as Ray or Minor attractive given that both are under team control for another season. The Astros and Yankees are the teams most tied to Ray, and it appears the Diamondbacks are going to be sellers.

Prediction: Robbie Ray to the Yankees.

Will Bumgarner or Greinke get traded?

Hey, anything is possible. The rumor mill with Bumgarner keeps going back and forth, but Jeff Passan reported Tuesday that Bumgarner "remains available." The Giants' playoffs odds are slim -- just 6.2%, via FanGraphs -- but they're red-hot, he's a franchise icon and it's Bruce Bochy's final season. That's a lot of emotion tied into any Bumgarner trade, and as Buster Olney tweeted, the players have earned the right to give the postseason a shot. Heck, maybe the Giants just ride it out and end up re-signing him in the winter.

Greinke is even more complicated. He's still really good at 35 years old -- 10-4, 2.87 ERA, 128-18 strikeout-to-walk ratio -- but he's signed for two more seasons at a hefty $35 million per year. He also has a no-trade clause to 15 teams, reportedly including the Yankees. Any Greinke deal would likely include the Diamondbacks eating part of his salary to get some prospects in return.

Prediction: Bumgarner and Greinke are not traded.

What about the relief market?

We saw two relievers traded on Tuesday: The Cubs picked up David Phelps from the Blue Jays, and then Chris Martin went to the Braves from the Rangers, with Texas acquiring onetime top prospect Kolby Allard. That's not a bad return for a 33-year-old journeyman having the best four months of his career. Allard's star has lost some luster, but he's still just 21, so this trade sets a pretty high bar for some of the other relievers out there. Trade candidates include Sam Dyson and Will Smith of the Giants, Ken Giles of the Blue Jays (except he just had a cortisone shot for inflammation in his elbow), Mychal Givens of the Orioles and others. The two biggest questions: Will the Padres trade Kirby Yates (arguably the best closer in baseball right now), and will the Pirates trade hard-throwing lefty Felipe Vazquez (signed through 2023)?

Pretty much everyone needs bullpen help, so expect a lot of movement on the reliever front. The Nationals have a glaring need in front of Sean Doolittle, the Red Sox need a closer, the Twins could use some depth and the Dodgers need some setup help. Even the Yankees might look to add bullpen depth if they don't get a starting pitcher.

Prediction: The Dodgers go big and pry Vazquez from the Pirates; Yates stays put.

Who could be a surprise player who gets traded?

Whit Merrifield is a player every team could use because of his versatility and production. He's signed to a team-friendly contract that makes him even more valuable -- except he's 30 years old, and the Royals might not be good for a few years. This is how we get to this:

• The Royals keep him, and everyone wonders why, since they're a bad team.

• They trade him, and everyone complains that they just traded away their best player on a good contract and bad teams don't care and baseball has a tanking problem.

Prediction: Merrifield stays in Kansas City.

Prior ruling which temporarily suspended IAAF eligibility regulations has been reversed

The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) says it welcomes a Swiss Federal Tribunal decision to revoke an order which had allowed Caster Semenya to race “without restriction” while her appeal against the IAAF’s new regulations on female classification is pending.

On Tuesday, Semenya’s team had announced that the Olympic and world 800m champion would be prevented from defending her world title in Doha following the new ruling by a Swiss Federal Supreme Court judge.

Semenya had submitted an appeal after she lost her landmark case at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against the IAAF’s new rules, which relate to restricting testosterone levels in female runners in certain events.

The ‘IAAF Eligibility Regulations for Female Classification (Athletes with Differences of Sex Development (DSD))’ had originally been due to come into effect on November 1, 2018, but were suspended. Following the CAS ruling, the regulations started on May 8.

Under the new rules Semenya – and other female athletes with DSD – would need to reduce their natural testosterone level in order to take part in women’s events from 400m to the mile in international competition.

At the beginning of June it was announced that the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland had “ordered the IAAF to immediately suspend the implementation of the eligibility regulations against Caster Semenya”.

It is that ruling which has been reversed.

“The IAAF welcomes the Swiss Federal Tribunal’s decision today to revoke its Super-Provisional Order of 31 May 2019 after hearing the IAAF’s arguments,” reads a statement from the international governing body.

“This decision creates much needed parity and clarity for all athletes as they prepare for the World Championships in Doha this September.

“In the remainder of the proceedings before the SFT, the IAAF will maintain its position that there are some contexts, sport being one of them, where biology has to trump gender identity, which is why the IAAF believes (and the CAS agreed) that the DSD Regulations are a necessary, reasonable and proportionate means of protecting fair and meaningful competition in elite female athletics.”

The Swiss Federal Tribunal decision document can be found here.

“For the time being, the “Eligibility Regulations for the Female Classification (Athletes with Differences of Sex Development)” (DSD Regulations) are again applicable to Caster Semenya,” reads the document in part.

“The Swiss Federal Supreme Court revokes its Super-Provisional Order of 31 May 2019 after hearing the counterparty (IAAF) and dismisses Caster Semenya’s request for the provisional suspension of the DSD Regulations, respectively for suspensive effect for her appeal against the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

“The Federal Supreme Court also rejects the request of Athletics South Africa (ASA), which had requested the suspension of the DSD Regulations for all female athletes. The Swiss Federal Supreme Court has, however, not yet reached a final decision on the appeal itself.”

It adds, in part: “Caster Semenya appealed to the Swiss Federal Supreme Court against the CAS decision. She requested that the Court adopt (super)provisional measures and grant her appeal supensive effect, in the sense that the DSD Regulations would not be applied to her during the course of the Swiss Federal Supreme Court proceedings. ASA requested the provisional suspension of the DSD Regulations for all female athletes. By Super-Provisional Order of 31 May 2019, the Swiss Federal Supreme Court initially suspended the application of the DSD Regulations to Caster Semenya in order to provisionally maintain the existing status until the hearing of the IAAF. A request for reconsideration by IAAF in this matter was dismissed by the Swiss Federal Supreme Court on 12 June 2019.”

The document also states, in part: “… the Swiss Federal Supreme Court concludes, in a first summary examination, that Caster Semenya’s appeal does not appear with high probability to be well founded.”

In a statement released by her team on Tuesday, Semenya said: “I am very disappointed to be kept from defending my hard-earned title, but this will not deter me from continuing my fight for the human rights of all of the female athletes concerned.”

Exeter have signed lock Jannes Kirsten from South African Super Rugby side the Blue Bulls on a one-year deal.

The 25-year-old joined the Bulls in 2012 and this will be his first time playing for another club.

Kirsten, who can also play back row, is the sixth signing of the summer for Chiefs' director of rugby Rob Baxter.

Kirsten told the club website: "If you ask any South African player, they want to come here and have a taste of the Premiership."

The Sandy Park club have already welcomed Tom Price, Will Witty, Stuart Hogg, Stan South and Jordon Poole as new arrivals this summer.

The Chiefs start the season on 21 September with a home encounter against West country rivals Bath in the Premiership Rugby Cup.

CONCORD, N.C. – Tuesday’s final round of the Bojangles’ Summer Shootout at Charlotte Motor Speedway saw Carson Ferguson aim for the perfect night – a win in the Boston Reid Real Estate Pro division finale to cap off a dominant championship season.

Running second to Joey Padgett in the closing laps, Ferguson needed a caution to finish his season in style. Ferguson got what he needed.

He roared into the lead soon after a restart and held off Padgett and Bubba Wallace to score the win and net another Pro championship for Ladyga Motorsports.

“The first couple laps, Joey got in the corner and just moved me,” Ferguson said. “He didn’t tear anything up, so it was just racing. I caught him and tried to hang him on the outside but Bubba kept racing me and it took a while to get back to Joey. I wasn’t gonna let them get me that time.”

Jason Alder needed a top-10 finish to clinch the VP Racing Fuels Semi-Pro title, while Isabella Robusto entered Tuesday night needing a win and some help to pull off her first crown. While D.J. Canipe emerged unscathed to win a caution-filled race that ended two laps short of the scheduled 25 laps, Alder did what he needed to do.

The Maryland native finished fourth to Robusto’s sixth, bringing home the Semi-Pro crown.

Cutter Love won the Semi-Pro B-Main.

Mark Green and Robby Faggart had the easiest paths to the Twenty-Six Acres Brewing Company Masters championship when Tuesday’s races began: whichever driver finished higher won the title.

Faggart began the 25-lap feature from the pole and had the inside line to the title, but Green hounded Faggart for the first 20 laps. Once Faggart had to lift off the throttle to avoid lapped traffic, Green moved to the inside of Faggart’s machine entering turn one with three laps to go. The two cars made contact and each continued – but Green cleared Faggart and clinched the crown.

“My car was really good tonight. Robby’s car was really good on the get-go. I got underneath him and he rubbed me a bit, but that’s OK, it’s just good hard racing. I’m glad we were able to put on a little show.”

Zack Miracle led the way for the first half of a crash-heavy PMG Young Lions feature and appeared to have the division title in hand before a mid-race restart saw Miracle get sent spinning out of the lead – putting Sam Butler, the second-place driver in points, in the driver’s seat.

While Miracle tried to make up enough points, leaders Kade Brown and William Cox tangled on the final lap. Cox spun out in turn two while Brown sped away to the finish line.

Brown was penalized for the contact, handing the win to Conner Jones and the championship to Butler.

“I just had to keep my eyes peeled and never give up,” Jones said of his win.

Jadyn Daniels drove away from the field for the second consecutive night in Farm Bureau Bandolero Outlaws competition, but couldn’t hold on for the win in the end.

A caution with eight laps to go afforded Cameron Murray the opportunity to challenge Daniels, but Daniels’ No. 24 appeared to have it in hand before contact on a restart triggered a melee that eliminated Murray from contention, knocked Daniels to the tail of the field and moved points leader Garin Mash to the front with three laps to go.

Like D.J. Canipe in the Semi-Pro feature, Mash avoided any further carnage and collected his fifth win of the season to wrap up his title-winning summer.

“I’ve been here for 10 years and I’ve dreamed of this for years,” Mash said. “This has been the biggest year of my life and I think it’s gotten a little better tonight.”

Layton Harrison and Luke Morey fought nose to tail in the closing laps of the final K1 RaceGear Bandolero Bandits feature, with Harrison holding Morey off by a car length at the finish. Lucas Vera captured the Bandits division title.

Josh Willams stormed to victory in the Beginner Bandolero feature. Natalie Richard won the B-Main.

BECHTELSVILLE, Pa. – Jeff Strunk picked up his second consecutive Thunder Modified win during Tuesday’s NASCAR 358 Modified portion of the Thunder on the Hill at Grandview Speedway.

Doug Manmiller and Tim Buckwalter led the field to the green flag, with Manmiller holding the lead for the initial two laps.  Buckwalter would takeover the top spot on lap three with Meme Desantis and Manmiller right on his tail.

RELATED: Windom Edges Courtney At Grandview

All eyes were on Strunk as he moved into second on the eighth lap of the event – from his fifth-place starting spot. He powered past Buckwalter for the lead two laps later.

In a race without any caution flags, Strunk was able to steer the Glenn Hyneman-owned number 126 machine around heavy lapped traffic maintaining the lead and claiming his 200th career victory.

Craig VonDohren closed in the late stages – but would settle for second place, Tim Buckwalter finished in third, Kevin Hirthler finished in fourth and Brett Kressley finished in fifth after starting in the 14th position.

NASCAR 358 Modified heat races were won by Kevin Hirthler, Tim Buckwalter, and Alex Yankowski

The finish:

Jeff Strunk, Craig VonDohren, Tim Buckwalter, Kevin Hirthler, Brett Kressley, Duane Howard, Mike Gular, Meme Desantis, Alex Yankowski, Brian Hirthler, Ryan Lilick, Rick Laubach, Mike Lisowski, Louden Reimert, Briggs Danner, Frank Cozze, Ryan Beltz, Justin Grim, Don Norris Jr., Billy Pauch Jr., Glenn Strunk, Mark Kratz, Ray Swinehart, Dylan Swinehart, Doug Manmiller, T.J.
