Former SEMO Star Now A Cornbelter

Congrats to former SEMO star Asif Shah...It looks like he has made the final roster of the Normal Cornbelters.

The 'Belters are the newest addition to the independant Frontier League. They play their home games at the Corn Crib and are managed by former Houston Astros skipper Hal Lanier.

You can see Asif and his new team when the 'Belters play a three game series at Rent One Park in Marion against the SI Miners May 28-30.

Shah originally signed with the Miners in October of 2007 but never played an inning for the team. He was cut prior to the 2008 season.

For the uninitiated the Frontier League consists of a pair of six team divisions.

East Division:
Kalamazoo Kings
Lake Erie Crushers
Oakland County Cruisers
Traverse City Beach Bums
Washington Wild Things
Windy City ThunderBolts

West Division:
Evansville Otters
Florence Freedom
Gateway Grizzlies
Normal CornBelters
River City Rascals
Southern Illinois Miners

The Miners open the season Thursday night at 7:05 pm against River City.
