League play for the So Cal ASA A/B league will begin this weekend at Little Lake Park in Santa Fe Springs, CA. Team Rainey and the So Cal Bombers will be among the teams competing, as well as Raymar, which gets its first test playing at the A/B level. British Columbia pitcher Bricklen Anderson, signed for the 2005 season by Team Rainey will be with the club for the first time. Pure speculation on my part, but I’m guessing we’ll see him on the mound against the So Cal Bombers in the 3pm game Saturday in this rematch of arch rivals. The Bombers took the first meetings, in February in the Norwalk Tournament and are coming off the heels of their Las Vegas Spring Swing title. Also competing will be the “Young Bucks” a (more or less) 23 and under team, with hard-throwing 21 year old, Anthony Martinez on the mound. Jason Iuli, slightly over 23 will pitch with them, as will Mark Bennett, more than slightly over 23. All kidding aside, Mark remains one of the best pitchers in California, as shown by a stellar performance against Team Rainey in last year’s Best of the West. Don’t miss a chance to see the best fastpitch teams in Southern California. Click here for the schedule of games at the So Cal ASA website
