The UW-Parkside baseball team grew its team roster on Thursday evening, as the Rangers signed 12-year-old Leo Montemurro to the team, a Kenosha native who has been battling brain cancer since he was just 3-years old. 

"We're excited to add somebody with so much character and enthusiasm for the game," head coach Daniel Esposito said. "He's living life to the fullest every day and he's a great example of how people should live their lives."
