2007 AAU Team Profile - Texaco Pirates, Bahamas
January 3, 2007
Orlando, FL
The Texaco Pirates of the Bahamas will return to Orlando once again
for this year's AAU International Tournament. The Pirates have done
well in past tournaments and continue to improve their roster each
year. In 2004, they were the Consolation champions. In 2005, they came
within a hair's breadth (one run) of knocking off eventual 2005
Champions, Circle Tap of Wisconsin, in a see-saw battle. This past
summer, the Pirates travelled to Kitchener, Ontario, Canada for their
first trip to "The Show", the ISC World Tournament.
Roster additions for the 2007 AAU include two pitchers from that 2005
Circle Tap championship team, Dewey Dyck and Rob Scheller, along with
Doug Sleep, to go with their resident ace, Edney Bethel.
Bethel, (featured on the cover of fastpitchwest.com at the moment)
swings a good stick as well, so look for his bat to be in the lineup
when he's not pitching.

hit the best pitching the tournament has to offer. Kyle Magnusson
will also join the Pirates for the AAU, and helps make the team a
solid contender for the 2007 title.
The Pirates will be hosting their own tournament in May, 2007, at
their home field on "Man-o-War" Cay, in the Bahamas. Teams interested
can contact Haziel McDonald, the Pirates manager.
