Solano Garner MVP Awards
[Winchester, CA, August
1st, 2005] -
After a three-year
Team Rainey reign, there is a new champion at Best of the West, the
So Cal Bombers. The Bombers topped San Diego Primetime, Portland C/R
DeMarini and the High Desert Dawgs on Sunday, to capture the 2005
Best of the West tournament at Winchester, California, with
temperatures running into the 100’s. Team Rainey fell in the
semi-finals to the High Desert Dawgs, after topping Raymar early
Sunday morning.
The Bombers escaped
a near-upset Sunday morning, rallying for an extra inning win over
San Diego Primetime, then defeated Portland C/R DeMarini to reach
the title game. In the Championship Game, Bombers pitcher Travis
Price picked up the win, 3-1, with Tony Peeples getting the save.
Tony Peeples was
named the Most Valuable Pitcher for the second year in a row, while
the Bombers Arturo Solano was the Most Valuable Player.
