PALM SPRINGS-Sun Fastpitch, Panteras and Hustlers from So Cal and California Chaos from Northern California earned top seeds in the first day of California Cup Tournament play at Palm Springs, California, with perfect 3-0 records in round robin play. All fifteen teams will advance to a Single Elimination Sunday playoff round, with seeding determined by Saturday’s round robin results. Sun Fastpitch and California Chaos bore strong resemblance to two teams that tied for 7th place in this year’s ASA “C” Nationals, i.e. the El Segundo Rounders, and West Coast Cardinals, respectively.
