September 8, 2009 - Minneapolis, MN - The Long Haul Bombers finished their regular season on August 28th in Cincinnati, OH, the twelfth stop along the Stadium Power Tour. The final scores are as follows:
Denny Crine and Geno Buck were awarded the prized Manufacturer's Cup (the award for most combined team points) for the second consecutive season, making the Miken name proud. "I'm really glad that we were able to bring home the Manufacturer's Cup. It was a close battle with Easton. They really gave us a run for our money," said Team Miken's Geno Buck. Denny Crine, who also took home the top individual points for the regular season, shared the same sentiment as his teammate, "I wanted to win in overall points even more than the individual points. This is a big win for Miken and shows that it is a great brand."
Now, the top four Long Haul Bombers continue on to the finals in San Diego, CA on September 13, 2009. While the points are what got each of the hitters to the finals, they don't matter anymore. The slate is wiped clean, and everyone starts with an even zero. The Long Haul Bomber who hits the most bombs will be crowned the 2009 Stadium Power Tour champion.
The Bombers were able to choose their batting order for the finals based on their rank from the regular season. They chose the following order:
1. Denny Crine - Team Miken
2. Jeff Hall - Team Worth
3. Brett Helmer - Team Easton
4. Brian Wegman - Team Easton
