No Shortage of Pitching as Bombers Add Mark Higgins to Four Others

Ralph Trejo has a knack for adding a player or two to bolster his teams when hitting the road for a big tournament like Rose Cup.   With the Bucks sidelined, he landed right hander Mark Higgins from their staff.  Add that to an already strong staff, and you have to like the Bombers' chances at the Rose Cup.  

The pitching staff is led by veteran Hurler Lonnie Brooks, and includes Dave Blackburn, Panfilo Valdez and Mark Higgins, who will be a pick-up for The Rose Cup. Leading the hitters are Tony Beeson (pictured at right), Raimundo Parra, and Sean Barker, who also can pitch.  

Sponsored by Ralph Trejo Sr., the Yucaipa Bombers play in the Southern California ASA A/B Travel League, as well as competing at Red Rocks (4-2 Consolation Champions), The California International Classic (Tied 5th), the Best of The West, and The Rose Cup in Portland.

The Bombers had an impressive tournament in Las Vegas over the Memorial Day weekend, with their only two losses coming at the hand of eventual champion, and ISC #8 ranked Circle Tap.   Ralph's Trejo's Bombers notched 5 runs in the first inning of their Saturday game with Circle Tap, before being overtaken by the strong hitting CT club.

As you can see from the team photo (click menu button on left), the Bombers are among the best dressed teams around.  (That's sponsor Ralph Trejo at the far left, front row in this photo)
