TRAPASSO: His team will receive equipment

Easton Sports and Rawlings Sporting have signed multi-year sponsorship agreements with the Rainbows and will provide equipment in excess of $10,000 per season, coach Mike Trapasso said.

They will furnish bats, batting gloves, wrist bands, uniforms, hats, catching gear and gloves for the Rainbows. In addition, Trapasso will receive a contract of an unspecified amount to augment his bonus package.

Jim Darby, an Easton representative, said the equipment deal represents a 30 percent rise in commitment. "Each year Mike is here I have to believe there is gonna be a payoff for us in terms of exposure," Darby said.

"What they (Easton and Rawlings) are doing is signing on to our bandwagon," Trapasso said.
