West Coast Aftershock
|
Latest Tournament Report:
Tied for 5th at PSPOA.
In 2008:
The team is headed by former 2006 World Series Champion Quake players Jim Lemmon and Dante DiGacomo who both played for the NorCal Cartel in 2007. Per Webster’s dictionary, an aftershock is usually one of a series, following a large earthquake in the same area. Does this name refer to their Quake heritage or is it merely a coincidence? The Aftershock roster looks strong with players from the DEA, Cartel etc. PoliceSoftball.com asked some West coast coaches about the roster and the consensus is this team will put some big runs on the board and will be a force in the West. Most believe they will seriously contend for a top 5 spot in the Boombah Points Chase. PoliceSoftball.com knows many of the players on the roster and this team and we feel this team will be a fun team to watch as the year develops. It is headed up by some class individuals and they will score some runs and make any team they play bring their best game if they expect to win. Some players who will be swinging it for the Aftershock are, John Sunia, Andy Williams, Marc Grande, Rob Rosas, Dante DiGacomo and Jim Lemmon. 2008 OUTLOOK: This team will be strong on the offensive side and will score runs in bunches. They could be the most powerfully offensive team in the nation. If they can get their defense tightened up, look for some deep tourneys. They could win it all in 08 but we need to see if they gel before we project them to sit in the catbird seat. There are even rumors of them hosting a Bacon Ball San Francisco tournament some
In 2007:
Brand new team to the circuit, but loaded with familiar faces and veteran management. Comprised of former DEA Combo, Cal-Quake and Cartel players. These guys will be a monster in 08!

First chance for this collection of solid players to represent as a team. They are as billed, an offensive machine. Posted 20+ runs almost every game. |

Another solid showing for the new kids on the block. PS.COM predicted them to be a WC Top 5 team and they are living up to it. |
