Josh Bullock has season-ending surgery
Last summer, Josh Bullock of the University of Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks was named a Waynesboro General Top Performer. Josh led the 2012 VBL with 10 saves and was scheduled to return this summer as a Waynesboro General.
Although an arm injury changed those plans, the Generals are very happy to report that Josh is rehabbing after successful surgery. He’ll be back pitching for the Mavericks next season and he hopes to visit in Waynesboro this summer.
Best wishes, Josh!
