Jr. Men in Camp Today, Corona CA for the weekend

Head coach Tim Lyon and assistants Scott Standerfer and (So Cal's) Gary Mullican have the USA Jr. Men's team in camp this week, at the Olympic training facility in Chula Vista, CA (near San Diego, by the border with Mexico) for it's second summer camp in preparation for next year's international competition at Prince Edward Island. The team will travel to Corona, California this weekend, to compete for the second time against teams in the ASA So Cal Alliance league, which consists of ASA "C" level teams. The Jr. Men's team competed in an earlier tournament in Lancaster, California last month, finishing the week of play with an admirable 3-2 record. This weekend, the team will feature a couple of "favorite sons", literally, with the offspring of Jerry Leavitt and Paul Castillo vying for spots on the team. Jerry, as many of you know, anchored the ISC World Champion Camarilo Kings, catching Hall of Fame pitcher Mark Smith in the early '80's. Paul Castillo continues to play in the local So Cal leagues, after retiring as a teammate of the editor, on the El Segundo Rounders. We wish both of them well.
