Zimmer, a Billings resident, is a Sophomore this season and was Redshirted in 2020, however in 2019 he served as the closer and was second in the league in saves (6) and carried a nifty 2.50 ERA in 18 innings.
Houlihan, a native of Renton, WA is a Freshman who was able to start five games last season, posting a 3-1 record in 21 innings with a 3.00 ERA
The other two pitchers added to the NightOwls today are likely familiar names to Island and BC Baseball fans, as Canadians Liam Bates (Cloud County Community College) and Jackson Stephen (Marshalltown Community College) are coming to Nanaimo this summer.
Bates, from Vancouver, BC, is a Freshman this season at Cloud County Community College. In 2019 he put together a very nice 7-1 record in 53 innings for the North Shore Twins in the BCPBL
For Jackson Stephen it’s a homecoming party, as the Cowichan Bay BC, and former Mid-Island Pirate, is a Freshman at Marshalltown Community College. In 2019, Stephen posted a brilliant 7-0 record in 44 innings pitched, with a minuscule 0.63 ERA. A welcome mound for a local boy to call home this summer.
