News Break!!! Fresh off the phone with Chris Wright of the Nor Cal Mavericks. The Mavericks have announced a merger between them and A-1 Tank. The deal was said to be done last week and the details have been ironed out. The team will take on the A-1 Tank name and compete at the ISC II level. Wright, who will assume the duties of General Manager and Field Manager, says the merger is a two year deal with options after the first year. The merger instantly makes the northern California based team a serious player at the “B” level and ISCII level. When asked about the deal, Wright added, “It’s tough to watch my Mavericks team name go but this could turn out to be a great thing for Nor Cal fastpitch. I’m excited for the season to start.” The Mavericks look to compete in Red Rock, Portland and a travel league in preparation for the Tournament of Champions. Details of the roster will be released later this month. In other news, The So Cal Bombers are rumored to be close to a deal with “a star pitcher.” More to come.PostPosted: Sat Dec 10, 2005 6:37 pm Post subject: Reply with quote

NorCal Mavericks finished 3rd in NAFA AA last year while A-1 Tank were in the top 10 in NAFA A Major. Gerald Pyle is a kid with tons of potential – he’s been named to the USA developmental squad even tho’ he’s never pitched any higher than ASA “C”. Could these guys be a team to look out for?
