Rausch to play in the WCL next summer

Tim Rausch, a 2010 graduate of Polson High School and former Mission Valley Mariner, will be playing summer baseball in the collegiate West Coast League next summer.

Rausch was signed by the Corvallis (Ore.) Knights for the 2014 summer season which will begin in June.

He is entering his redshirt junior season at Western Oregon University in Monmouth, where he plays outfield for the Wolves. Rausch hit .351 with four home runs and 38 RBI in 46 games last spring.

The Knights are the reigning champions of the 12-team WCL, which spans from Oregon to British Columbia.
