R.I.P. - P - James Wernke


There was some tragic news out of Southern California on Tuesday. Long Beach State recruit James Wernke was found dead in Fullerton after going missing during the weekend.

“It’s never easy to deal with an enormous tragedy such as this,” LBSU coach Mike Weathers said in a statement. “We obviously thought very highly of James and will miss the opportunity to have him be part of the Long Beach State baseball program. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this difficult time.”

Wernke was a pitcher at Santa Ana JC and had signed a letter of intent to attend Long Beach State for the 2011 season.
