"The addition of CR A1 Rockies and J&B Painting round out our tournament quite nicely,” said Dave Blackburn. “CR features Argentine hurler Sebastian Gervasutti, who was named Outstanding Pitcher at the Bakersfield Tournament. USA National Team Outfielder Tim Hunt was MVP in Bakersfield, and he leads the CR Offense. J&B Painting has the services of up and coming young Canadian Corey Avery, who brings a very potent combination game of pitching and hitting. J&B’s hard-hitting Jesse Palacios is quickly establishing himself as one of the top power hitters in Southern California. Let the games begin.
