I’m playing catchup this weekend and so have posted the last set of photos I took at the Red Rock tournament in 2007. As I reviewed the photos for posting it brought back many memories of that field and that tournament. One of my favorite tournament for many reasons: location, players, quality of game, I still miss shooting this tournament two years later. Click here to take you to the gallery of photos for the 2007 Red Rock Tournament and enjoy revisiting one of the greatest tournaments that men’s fastpitch has to offer. Let’s hope we can one day soon return to this beautiful venue.

Editor’s note: It was interesting to look back at those photos, taken early in the 2007 season out west. Three California teams emerged from that tournament to do great things in 2007.

The So Cal Bombers, the California Lumberkings and A-1 Taylor Farms. The Bombers were runners-up in the 2007 ISC World Tournament, while the Lumberkings and Taylor Farms finished 2-3 in the 2007 ISC II Tournament of Champions. (two teams that would combine a year later and win the ISC II T of C)

At Red Rock 2007, the Bombers topped Team Minnesota, 6-4 in the finals, with the Bomber’s Sean Whitten garnering Most Valuable Pitcher honors. Teammate Steve Pinnochio won MVP Honors. Other Bombers named to the All Tournament team included: Darren Box, Adam LaLonde, Chad Ghostkeeper, Nate Devine and Mike Butler.

Fans at Red Rock 2007 also got a chance to see 2009 ISC Hall of Famer Mike Piechnik, who pitched for Portland.
