With the 2010 ISC World Tournament in the books, we’re up for air and turning to the NAFA World Series, well underway. Apologies to NAFA teams for being late in catching up with postings, but work commitment have trimmed my available time this month.
A couple of great places to catch up on things are the NAFA website, and Bob Otto’s “Otto in Focus”. Bob is in Des Moines, and has been doing a stellar job of covering the tournament. Don’t miss his feature stories and photos. For those who may not know Bob, he was a working newspaper man and photographer, so the work is top shelf.

For Cali fans, a NAFA World Series AA Major update on the Cal State Builders, courtesy of Kevin Nishinaga:
Builders 8 Pickseed (Saskatchewan) 10. We were down as much as 10-5, before we got a 3-run homer in the 6th, but never got any closer. Their pitcher was a lefty that had a good rise/slide from right to left. It was exceedingly hot, even after 4pm.
‎1:30am, just finished getting beat by palazzos java house, team of matt palazzo (team USA) and Tony peeples. AA major format is round robin then single elim (12 teams). We play till we lose starting 9:45 Sunday.
Defeated smalltown fastpitch 11-2. They are a local c team playing in the AA major. Next up manor dirt bags. Rematch from ASA A nationals opening game, but this time they have their best pitcher, a guy from Cuba.
