Info provided by David Weldin<\/em><\/p>\n Editor’s notes: <\/strong> Last year’s Lumberkings were the first ever team from California to compete in the tough ISC II Tournament of Champions, where they qualified for the playoff round, and advanced with a first round playoff win before being eliminated in a nail-biter, extra inning game against a strong Canadian foe. This year, pitcher Joe Nimmo will find himself on the other side of the plate, with Mike Egerdeen joining the pitching staff. Young Anthony Martinez, who helped pitch the Santa Barbara Young Bucks to the ASA 23-and-under National title last year, was on the roster in 2006, but did not make the trip to Kitchener for the ISC II tournament, due to an injury. This year’s club is also strengthened by a pair of brothers – the Hunts from So Cal and the Knights from the Pacific Northwest. Nimmo and slugger Brian Teeters will anchor the middle of the batting order, while newcomer Kevin Castillo will add his talents to an already loaded lineup. Castillo was a member of the USA Jr. Men in 2005 at PEI, and a teammate of Anthony Martinez on the 23-and-under National championship team last year. The ISC II division has been dominated by teams from Ontario, Canada, but this year, the Lumberkings will go knowing they can indeed compete, and will be bolstered by the improvement to their roster and line-up for 2007. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" P- Darren Strang P- Mike Egerdeen P- Anthony Martinez C- Jon Nimmo Inf-Troy Parker Inf-Kasey Knight Inf-Carlos Flores Inf-Kevin Castillo Inf-Greg Hicks Of- Chris Hunt Of- Tim Hunt Of- Brian Teeters Of- Trevor Knight Info provided by David Weldin Editor’s notes: Last year’s Lumberkings were the first ever team from California to compete in the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4,6,11],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/morningbrief\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1532"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/morningbrief\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/morningbrief\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/morningbrief\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/morningbrief\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1532"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/morningbrief\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1532\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/morningbrief\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1532"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/morningbrief\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1532"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.fastpitchwest.com\/morningbrief\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1532"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
