2008 was a banner year for men’s fastpitch teams from California:
\n
\nGold:
\n<\/strong>
\nISC II Champions – California Lumberkings.
\nASA “A” Champions – Italian Athletic Club
\nNAFA 23-and-under champions – Santa Barbara Young Bucks<\/p>\n

Silver:<\/strong><\/p>\n

ASA “B” – Team Pape
\nASA “C” – Santa Rosa
\nNAFA “A” – Fat City<\/p>\n

Not to mention a 6th place finish among 32 teams by the So Cal Bombers in the toughest division of them all, the ISC World Tournament. Did I miss anyone?<\/p>\n
