Once again, So Cal Bomber pitcher Lucas Mata, formerly of the two-time ISC World Champion County Materials proved to be the difference maker for the Bombers, as they avenged an earlier defeat by Broken Bow, to beat them handily, 11-2 in the Vancouver Challenge championship game. The win at Vancouver marks the second time that Mata has pitched with the Bombers this year, and the second time he has pitched them to a tournament win against a top flite field of teams. The Bombers take a good bit of momentum into the tournament, as they battle towards their goal – an ISC World Title. <\/p>\n

Broken Bow nabbed the # 1 spot in the final set of rankings leading into next month’s ISC World Tournament, after holding down the # 3 spot most of the year. The Bombers jumped from # 7 to # 4 on the strength of their win last month at Monkton Tournament, which boasted the strongest field of teams this side of the world tournament. The Bombers got to both pitchers equally, 7 against Andrew Kirkpatrick in 5 innings and 4 more against Jeremy Manley in one inning in the 6 inning-run-rule shortened game, while Mata held Broken Bow to just 2 runs on 4 hits. Evan Potskin (triple, homer, 2 runs and 4 RBI) led the way, with plenty of support from Steve Pinnochio (3 for 3 with a triple, two singles, 2 runs scored and an RBI), Adam LaLonde (3 runs). Jason Porto added a home run for the Bombers as well. <\/p>\n
