On page 58 of the June issue of PB2X Keith’s sexy self is shown wrecking shop, in a semi finals game against Chickun Nuggets where he won a one on one and hung the flag with two seconds to spare.  I am glad they got a photo of the game and a picture of Keith not only rocking the new jersey’s but sporting the sponsors stickers.

I am sure he will be signing boobies at a field near you soon.

Pumpenstein traveled to Huntington Beach to battle the best of the pumpers at the NPPL / OSC. The fields, like always were set on the beach and the OSC was relegated to two of the fields on Sunday for all of our prelim, semi’s and finals play.

Despite a limited paint rule and a field designed for 7 man electro play (neither of which are really our style) Pumpensteinwas doing pretty well. We had two close games in the prelims but shrugged those off and came away with narrow victories. We played: Pump and Dump, The Hendshmen (an all star cast put together by Chuck Hendsh), a throw together team of MCB members and others (who played us VERY well), and others that escape my mind right now.

We dropped one game going into the semi’s and were doing pretty well. In the semi’s we played Pumpenstein ball a little more and beat Chickun Nuggets and Turtles (dropping a close game to Blowfish) and advanced to the finals.

The wheels came off in the finals for us as our lack of freestyle play showed. Hitman and Blow fish beat us handily and we could not scrape together a win to save our lives. Despite the poor showing in the finals we thought that 4th out of 28 great teams (really the worlds best pumpers) in a division we have never played in and a style (limited paint) we picked up two months prior was not too bad. We take a lot of pride in our game however and expect a lot out of ourselves. So, I am sure that we will be back at the practice field in the near future to hone our skills and keep striving for that number one spot. That is the Pumpenstein way.
