JOLIET, IL-The Joliet JackHammers have re-signed catcher Dennis Blackmon, Jr. to a contract. Blackmon, started his career with the JackHammers in 2006 after being signed out of the Northern League tryout camp.

He hit .286 with three home runs and 17 RBI in just 29 games played for the JetHawks.

12-year minor league veteran catcher Eliezer Alfonzo (29 years old) is back with the San Fancisco Giants after being sent back down to Triple-A Fresno (Pacific Coast League) during spring training.
