From Al’s Fastball: CT in Palm Springs

The Circle Tap Fastpitch team ventured to the West Coast for it’s first games of the season and came away with an extremely dissapointing 2-3 mark. There were positives to come out of the weekend however, most importantly getting some games in and getting most of the guys together for the first time. First off I want to thank Chris Miljavac, Marc Benjamin, Tommy Gray, and Rob Scheller for filling in as we were missing a few players due to coaching and work commitments, i.e. Kyle Magnusson, Kevin Reichardt, Todd Malnory, and Jamie Knudson. The weather in desert was a very nice 101 when we landed Thursday night, can’t ask for a whole lot better than that. Thanks to the SoCal Bombers and the Trejo group for putting on a very nice event and giving us a chance to see some teams that we don’t normally see until the Worlds.

From Al’s Fastball: Pueblo Bandits Palm Springs Classic Report

Pueblo Bandits Palm Springs Classic Report The Pueblo Bandits management and players would like to extend a WARM thank you and congratulations to the SoCal Bombers s for a job well done on and off the field this past weekend in Palm Springs. Triple digit temperatures and a couple of key plays in the final are all that prevented a perfect weekend for the Bandits. While missing Cliff Wisdom and Mark Moziejko on the weekend the Bandits came together in the field and at the plate to show they are poised to improve on their twelfth place finish last year at the ISC and to prove their initial #18 ranking this season may be a bit low.
