Runner up in B flight
In 2008:
They were an unknown but very competitive team in the NorCal region until the 06 World Series where they gained national exposure by winning the Small Market World Series. They had high hopes for 07, but the reality of stepping into the heavyweight arena took its toll and they had a disappointing year. The World Series berth they worked so hard to attain was bittersweet because they went 0-4 in the event. Unfortunately the team could not endure the disappointment and several of their players jumped ship in the off-season. Ultimately Sac Probation endured the loss of five solid players, three of whom have been with the team since they began playing LE tournaments in 2003 under the name of "Ranch Hands". Gone are Jim Sanders, Jeff Chandler and Tyson Becker to Sac Police Softball and Rob Stogner to the Sac Razorbacks. Dale Bryant has also decided to move on and is currently a "free agent". SacPro has added some talent from within the department and for the first time since their inception, have gone outside of their agency to add to their team. Added were Jason Struble, a hard hitting three bagger, IF Armando Arceo, and Wayne Repard from Highway Patrol. A few more additions will be on the way but are too early to announce. SacPro should have 15 players who are motivated to prove they can still hang with the big boys of Police Softball. SacPro is scheduled to play in the EASTON/PS.com Bring Ur Real Skillz in West Covina, "Big Daddy Hank" in Antioch, Elk Grove (which will be the Capital Classic in 2009), the Choir Boys Tournament in Lincoln, the Concord tourney in Manteca, South Shore, the Star 6 (aka North Shore) and if all goes well the Police World Series in October. Lastly, look for a team name change to be announced soon for this team. 2008 OUTLOOK: Rebuilding can be tough for a young team but now that they have expanded to look outside their agency, they should have a few more resources to pull from.
In 2006:
Played well in NorCal all year and then finished the year with a bang by winning the World Series Small Market tourney. Look forward to seeing what they bring to the WS in ’07. Like the J-Cats, if this team can become a refular on the circuit, lookout.
