The TBolts have relied on community members to house players every summer since the program began. Hosting is part of what makes this team possible.

THE COMMITMENT: Players arrive at the end of May and stay through the end of July – roughly two months. They have games almost every night, so they’re largely self-sufficient. Hosting isn’t a full-time job; it’s an open door.

WHAT YOU PROVIDE:

• A separate bedroom

• Access to a bathroom and laundry facilities

• Breakfast

Players are responsible for their own meals beyond that, though many hosts include their player in a family dinner here and there.

WHAT YOU GET: A season pass to all TBolts home games. A free week of TBolts baseball camp for an eligible child in your household. And a direct connection to the team that plays for this community every summer.

WHO HOSTS: Families with young ballplayers who’d love a college athlete under their roof. Empty-nesters with a room to spare. People who simply want to do something real for the team and the players who represent it.

INTERESTED? Tell us you’d like to host at tbolts.fan. Players are looking for a home this summer – and your spare room could be exactly what they need.

WHO THESE PLAYERS ARE: College athletes, NCAA-eligible, serious about baseball and grateful for a home base. They arrive at the end of May and stay through the end of July. Games are almost every night, so your player will be busy – but they’re part of our community for two full months.

WHAT HOSTING LOOKS LIKE:

• A separate bedroom

• Access to a bathroom and laundry facilities

• Breakfast each morning

Players handle the rest of their meals. Many host families include their player in an occasional family dinner – that part is entirely up to you.

WHO MAKES A GREAT HOST: Families with baseball-playing kids. Empty-nesters with a spare room. Anyone who wants a front-row seat to collegiate summer ball and a direct connection to the team. Our hosts come from all corners of the community.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE: Every host family gets a season pass to all TBolts home games and a free week of TBolts baseball camp for an eligible child in your household.

Matt Mervis, who played for the TBolts in 2016, was out there in Miami last weekend, representing Israel.

Leading the way is left-hander Josh Domaracki (Frostburg State), who earned First Team All-League honors after a dominant season.

The southpaw posted a sparkling 1.98 ERA—third best in the entire league—while going 2-0 in seven starts. Domaracki's excellence peaked in crucial moments, including his playoff gem where he allowed just one earned run over six innings to lead the Thunderbolts past Gaithersburg in a play-in game.

Joining him with pitching honors is lefty Jake Treasure (Stevenson), named to the Second Team.

He compiled a 2-1 record with a 4.15 ERA, striking out 23 batters while walking just six in 21.2 innings. His best performances came early in the season, including road victories over Olney and Southern Maryland where he combined to allow zero earned runs across nine innings.

Rounding out the Thunderbolts' All-League contingent is infielder Tyson Gill (Clarion), also a Second Team selection. Gill led the T-Bolts with a .363 batting average over 25 games, the fifth best ever for a Thunderbolt player.

These honors cap off a memorable 25th anniversary season for the Thunderbolts, who reached the playoffs for the first time in two years.
