Inland Empire 66ers News Release


San Bernardino, CA - Angels 2011 22nd round draft pick Brennan Gowens is the latest member of the Inland Empire 66ers roster. Gowens was added to the roster today to replace Andrew Heid who was promoted to AAA Salt Lake City today.

Gowens hit .221 with two home runs, 18 RBI and six stolen bases last year in 39 games. He made two stops in 2011 between the Angels two rookie levels, the Arizona Summer League Angels and the Orem Owlz. In his final season at Fresno State before being drafted by the Angels, Gowens won a Western Athletic Conference Hitter of the Week Award and was named West Region Hitter of the Week by College Baseball Insider.

Andrew Heid has earned his promotion to AAA through consistent hitting, defense and a flair for the dramatic. Heid leaves the California League as the leader in outfield assists with seven. Heid hit .263 with two home runs and nine RBI while stealing six bags in 32 games. Heid also delivered two walk off hits for the 66ers in extra innings.

The 66ers continue their road trip against division rival Lake Elsinore.
