Tenth and final in a series of ten pool and team profiiles for the 2011 AAU international tournament, January 20, 2011 – January 23, 2011. Ten pools of 4 teams each, 40 teams in all. First pitch is tomorrow !
Pool J
1. Sopotocientos – VEN
2. Italian Athletic Club – USA
3. Elmira Expos – ON
4. Miami – USA
Pick the top two teams in Pool J:
The Italian Athletic Club was a finalist in last year’s AAU Tournament, unbeaten through the playoff round, on the strength of pitching from Sean Whitten and Derek Mayson, and plenty of hitting to go with it. The team finished third however, leaving their money on the table, to catch flights home early and missed the championship game. They officially finished tied with the New York Gremlins.
