The Palm Springs Express won the first So Cal ASA “C” division league weekend Sunday, with a victory over the runner-up Hustlers in the champions game at 1:15pm Sunday at De Muth Park in Palm Springs, after knocking off the So Cal Rebels in the semi-finals, 8-0, behind the pitching of Graham Balog. The win marked the first time that the Express has brought home the gold on their home turf. The Hustlers earned a spot in the title tilt with win over Level One Raymar.
Injury Report: We are sorry to report that Don Vilander of the Gamecocks suffered a broken wrist, in two places on Saturday, and had to go to the ER in Palm Springs for a cast. He was struck by the ball while batting. The prognosis is the usual for broken bones, 6 weeks, so he’s likely to miss the next league tournament or two. (now I have company on the DL). For those of you who don’t know Don, he is Tyler Vilander’s dad.
