2010 Snapper Shootout Divisions and Schedule

Friday, June 4th, 2010

(Bumped up)

Editor’s Note: Will this be where fans get their first peek at the revamped Jarvis lineup? The highly regarded Snapper Shootout was traditionally a bellwether tournament for ISC II teams to measure their strength against the competition leading into the always-tough Ontario qualifiers and then the ToC. With the unification of the ISC, the Shootout will be a leading indicator for some of the former ISC II teams to see how they stack up against the likes of Jarvis and Owen Sound.

Here is a look at the divisions and schedule.

I got a call from the owner of a refrigeration truck parked near the outfield fence at the Boatnik tournament in Grant’s Pass, Oregon last weekend. Seems that his truck was damaged by a flying home run ball. Anyone know how I can get a hold of Rob Gehrke?

Editor’s note: Yes, I was kidding about getting a hold of Rob Gehrke…
