Starting pitcher Jeff Nicolosi will return to the local squad for his second season in the WCBL after making his debut in the black and yellow in the 2019 campaign.
The Plainfield, Conn. righthander led the Miller Express in starts that season, taking the mound for 11 games and tossing the third-highest number of innings for the local squad at 54.1.
Nicolosi ended up with a 2-2 record and a 3.81 earned run average while striking out 32 and walking 15. He allowed more than three earned runs only once through his 11 starts.
Nicolosi had a solid start to his 2020 New England Collegiate Conference campaign with Mitchell College -- the alma mater of Express head coach Eric Marriott -- before the COVID-19 pandemic shut things down after only eight games in early March. He made three relief appearances and allowed only two hits while striking out five.
The Miller Express open their 2021 season on Friday, May 28 at Ross Wells Park.
