Whenever the Outlaws travel to Southern California to play the Long Beach Scorpions or the Orange County Flyers in Fullerton, as they are at the moment, there is quite a family atmosphere since so many players are from around the area. Last night, second baseman Eric Pringle (Inglewood) tied the team's stolen base record while his father, Tom, sat behind the Chico dugout. Shortstop David Pierson (West Covina) was batting in the leadoff spot for just the third time this year in front of his father, Anthony, and mother, Akiko. First baseman Scott Dragicevich (Westlake), pitcher Phil Springman (San Clemente) and reliever Todd Gelatka (Lake Elsinore) also had family and friends present that they visited with after the game.

This is such a fantastic blog! I have enjoyed reading all of your posts. I have been doing a study for school over the last few months about families, what they do, etc. Everything from the type of clothing jewelry and electronics they buy to where they eat and vacation. I was reading books and using the resources I have at school, but the most incredible information I have found is searching through blogs! Thank you for sharing your great information!
