Monday, March 3rd, 2008Young Bucks Rally from Down 14-4 to Win Quarterfinal 17-16
Courtesy of Young Bucks’ Skipper, Clyde Bennett:
A great performance by the Young Bucks at Taft Tournament. With only 8 of our roster players we scored 37 runs, had 35 hits including 2 HR’s and 2 triples. Big hitters were Joel Lange and Jacob Venzor. We drew 21 walks in the 5 games. Larry Watts caught all five games. Sterling pitching at times by Alan Miller and Buddy Armijo. Two new pitchers made their debut, Joel Lange and Mike Watts. In the quarter final game we trailed West Bishop 14-4 after 4 innings and 16-12 in the 7th. In the bottom of the 7th we scored 5 runs to win it 17-16. In the semi-final we faced Spud and undefeated Rude Pac. We had a 2-0 lead after 5 and ended up losing in the 7th 3-2. Not bad against the NAFA AA CHAMPS. Everyone there was impressed by the Bucks hustle and never give up spirit.

ACT get off to a flyer in fastpitch title defence
By Julia Whyte, The Canberra TimesTHE ACT men’s softball team sent an early warning to its competitors after starting its national fastpitch title defence with a 4-2 victory against NSW at Alton in Victoria yesterday.
Despite missing a host of players, who are travelling with the world youth team, the ACT got off to a strong start as it chases its third consecutive championship.
Laing Harrow hit a home run in his first game for the ACT since retiring five years ago. Adam Folkard impressed from the pitcher’s plate.
ACT and Australian Steelers coach Bob Harrow said it was a great way to start the tournament, but he predicted some tough matches ahead.
“It was a big win for us, beating NSW at anytime is a big win. But we were struggling for players to come here and this will do a great deal for our confidence,” he said.
“Michael Moore, who is one of the young guys we brought into the team, made some brilliant plays in the outfield and did well with the bat …”
The ACT play both the Australian under-19 team and Victoria today.
AT A GLANCEAustralian fastpitch championship: ACT 4 bt NSW 2, Qld 4 bt WA 3.

[Vancouver, BC] – The Vancouver Grey Sox are pleased to announce the signing of pitcher Frank Cox to bolster the team’s line up for the 2008 Softball Canada Senior Mens Fastpitch National Championship to be held in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan from August 24 – 31.
Cox a resident of Owen Sound, Ontario is arguably one of the top throwers in the game today and his numerous accomplishments in the sport are widely regarded. We are very pleased to add a fine individual and proven open level pitcher such as Frank to our program. We believe his vast experience in high level competition will add more depth to what we feel is a very solid pitching staff for the Softball Canada Nationals. Cox will join a staff for the nationals consisting of Nick Underhill, Korrey Gareau and Mike Piechnik.
Further details regarding our 2008 schedule and roster will be released in the coming weeks.
