#18 Pueblo Bandits Palm Springs Classic Report

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

From Al’s Fastball: Pueblo Bandits Palm Springs Classic Report

Pueblo Bandits Palm Springs Classic Report The Pueblo Bandits management and players would like to extend a WARM thank you and congratulations to the SoCal Bombers s for a job well done on and off the field this past weekend in Palm Springs. Triple digit temperatures and a couple of key plays in the final are all that prevented a perfect weekend for the Bandits. While missing Cliff Wisdom and Mark Moziejko on the weekend the Bandits came together in the field and at the plate to show they are poised to improve on their twelfth place finish last year at the ISC and to prove their initial #18 ranking this season may be a bit low.

His email is softball@infowest.com. A little history on the inception of the Rocky MountainFastpitch Association. This association was created late last season in response to some of the injuries that happened to several pitchers during the 2005 season. We created a small travel league which has kicked offthis year with it’s first two successful weekends inRoosevelt, Utah and Laramie,Wyoming. The partnership was created with the NSA due to the fact that we as the RMFA did not have the time or resources to run a top flight national tournament. This partnership has proven to be a mutually beneficial endeavor for all people involved. Our website will be www.woodbat.org This websiteshould be up and running in the next two weeks. We will have a list of bat manufacturers and bat types that have already been tested in men’s fastpitch play. We will also have the entire Rocky Mountain Fastpitch Association contact information.
