Big trade in River City

The River Rascals Rascals, mired in third place in the West Division, have traded slugging first baseman Bobby "Big Mo" Mosby to Joliet of the Northen League for a player to be named later. Mosby was tied for the Frontier League's home run lead with 19 and was third in RBI and slugging percentage.

The Wild Things still have six games remaining against River City.

"We're happy to accommodate Bobby and his family with this trade," Rascals manager Toby Rumfield said. "It's a chance for him to play against older guys and for him to be involved in a playoff race and hopefully get noticed in a different market."
