SALT LAKE CITY - Head baseball coach Bill Kinneberg has announced the signing of six student-athletes to National Letters of Intent. Joining the Utes for the 2010 campaign are Rick Anton (Prescott, Ariz./Yavapai JC), Brock Duke (Salem, Utah/Spanish Fork HS), Zach Adams (West Jordan, Utah/Cottonwood HS), Tyler Wagner (Henderson, Nev./Bishop Gorman HS), Cam Schiller (Prescott, Ariz./Yavapai JC) and Kevin Ponzo (LaVerne, Calif./San Dimas HS).
"The last two recruiting classes are as good as we have ever had," Kinneberg said. "We continue to make strides in our quest to be the Mountain West Conference champions.
