Last week, we told you Milwaukee’s new PBA Tour league team would be called Brew City Ballers from henceforth. Now we know the professional bowlers who will be part of that team.
Sunday night, Professional Bowlers Association held its PBA League Draft. A total of 26 players were taken by the league’s 10 teams over the course of the virtual draft’s five rounds. As an expansion team, Milwaukee got the opportunity to draft five of those bowlers (including three of the top six picks). Here’s the roster for your 2020 Brew City Ballers.

The league’s season was supposed to roll into motion with the 2020 PBA League Elias Cup tournament, originally scheduled for July 20-23 at Bayside Bowl in Portland, Maine. However, the ongoing COVID-19 crisis has pushed that tournament to fall. A new date has not been announced yet.
