ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Rico Garcia and Ben Bowden have been tearing through the minors, with both of them earning a promotion fo Albuquerque in June after spending only the first half in Hartford. Both of them also spent last year in Lancaster, with Garcia being promoted to Hartford in July after posting a 3.38 ERA with the JetHawks. Since they have been on similar paths, they’ve really become close friends. Ben Bowden even mentioned that they’re road roommates and having someone to go through this experience together with has been helpful.
They both recalled the day they got promoted, and both had different feelings towards the news.
