Saltdogs Add Southpaw and RHP
Saltdogs Manager Tim Johnson has announced that left-handed pitcher Brian Nendza (LS-1) and right-hander Chris Mowday (LS-4) have agreed to terms with the Lincoln Saltdogs.
Nendza, 6' 6" and 200 pounds, spent the 2004 season with the Idaho Falls Chukars (Pioneer) where he appeared in 24 games and had a record of 5-3 with an ERA of 6.70.

In 2003, his rookie season, Nendza pitched for the Royals 2 of the Arizona League, where he had a record of 3-0 and an ERA of 3.41. "Brian has all the physical characteristics to be a great pitcher. He is big, strong and a lefty," said Saltdogs Pitching Coach Jim Allen. "He can be a dominant force in the Northern League this season."
