So Cal Bombers upset #7 Riversharks, #5 Circle Tap Enroute to Consolation Bracket Final
From Al’s Fastball: Walsh Story
Championship Game results from Al’s Fastball.
The reports from the Walsh were a little sketchy after the first day’s reports, but the last word we had on the So Cal Bombers is that they were playing for the consolation bracket title, after upsetting another Top 10 team, #5 ranked Circle Tap, on a home run by Gerry Kennedy, the muscle-bound slugger on loan from the Vancouver Grey Sox. The Bombers beat Quaker in a pool play game first thing Saturday morning, on a walk-off home run by Jason Porto, his second of that game.
Update Monday, July 26: The Riversharks of PA beat the Bombers 8-2 in the consolation final.
The “British Columbian” pipeline of talent to So Cal continues into August, as the Bombers will add flamethrowing pitcher Nick Underhill for the ISC World Tournament, while Team Rainey, already led by BC ace Bricklen Anderson during the season, will add another, Vancouver’s Rick Smith, along with position player Dan Whiteford.
