The Cal State Builders <\/strong>will be headed to the Boatnik Tournament in Grant’s Pass, Oregon over the Memorial Holiday weekend. Started in 1959, the Boatnik<\/strong><\/a> includes boat racing, fastpitch tournament and other community events, and will be celebrating their 50th year !<\/p>\n

If your first question was “Who are the Cal State Builders?”, I’m right with you. The answer is that they are team organized for this one tournament. The next question many will ask (Fastpitchwest Forum<\/a> readers in particular) will be: “Are Ron Rupp<\/strong> and Gerald Pyle <\/strong>really going to be in the same dugout, playing for the same team?”. The answer is “yes”. No wait – it gets better — they will be riding up to the tournament in the same van for the 10 hour drive ! That might redefine the term “Rupp’s Worst Nightmare \u00c2\u00a9”<\/strong> Oh, I can hear them going at it already. I give them until just north of Bakersfield before one of them winds up hitch hiking the rest of the way \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
