#46 LumberKings at SoCal Bombers tourney

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006

Editor’s Note: #46 Bakersfield, CA LumberKings picked up Jeff Wilson for this tournament. Jeff is graduating from the Canadian junior ranks after winning four consecutive junior national championships – two with Jarvis and two with Scarborough. He will be “apprenticing” with The Farm Tavern this year. Lo0ks like a solid weekend for the LumberKings, even though they won only 1 game, they were right in every game against some very stiff ISC competition. With the signing of the Richmond duo Strang and Nimmo, the LumberKings will be a team to watch at the ToC.

For full scores from the tournament, read our sister blog, The Morning Brief.

The “2006 Casa Trejo Palm Springs Classic” got underway Saturday the 20th at Demuth field in beautiful Palm Springs Ca. with a 6 team field that included ISC ranked teams #8 Circle Tap, #13 SoCalBombers, #18 Pueblo Bandits , #20 CR/Portland , #22 Team Rainey and ISCII #46 Bakersfield, CA LumberKings.
