This weekend is one of the most important of the So Cal season, with the California Area ISC Qualifier at Little Lake Park in Santa Fe Springs, CA, June 18-19, 2005.
Six teams will be on hand, the best of the bunch, to decide who gets the berth to the ISC World Tournament in Eau Claire, WI and to the ISC II Tournament of Champions down the road in Chippewa Falls, WI. So Cal Bombers, Team Rainey, Mexicali, Northern Cal Mavericks, CR/DeMarini (Portland), and Raymar.
Too bad many of us will be down south in Ramona, CA for an Alliance weekend. You can get the results though, at this webpage at Fastpitchwest.
Championship game is 1pm Sunday. Two-time defending champions and #20 ranked Team Rainey tries for three in a row, and will take on the top rated team in the tournament, the So Cal Bombers (#19 in the world), at 5pm Saturday in the round robin portion of the tournament.
The Mavericks are in town from NorCal, and out to claim the ISC II berth. Raymar, third in last year’s ASA “C” Nationals among 70 teams tries to get their season on track, after the tough transition to the A/B level of play, and is equally determined to be in Chippewa Falls.
How often do you get to see pitchers like Travis Price, Bricklen Anderson, Tony Peeples and Alejandro Villalobos locally? Map and Driving Directions to the park are at the page linked above.
Picks anyone?
