Monday 3PM Game 49 – The Bar of Appleton WI vs. Decatur Pride IL – free audio on www.ballparkradio.com

Today’s free audio broadcast from the 2010 ISC World Tournament at Midland Michigan will feature the #7 Bar of Appleton with Josh Johnson and young Aussie Andrew Blackshaw taking on #10 ranked Decatur Pride, with ace Karl Gollan. The game is a rematch of an earlier season matchup when the Bar of Appleton knocked off then-higher-ranked Decatur in the championship game of the Decatur Shootout tournament.

The win marked the start of the rise of The Bar of Appleton in the rankings, from their preseason ranking of # 12, up to #10, then # 9 and a final ranking of #7. Decatur started the year ranked # 9, dropping one slot to #10 by the final rankings.

The Bar narrowly escaped with a first round win, topping #33 ranked Mickey’s Sled of Michigan (with Michigan veteran Doug Gillis), 2-1 in 11 innings, while Decatur topped a tough # 23 Kitchener-Waterloo (KW) Cubs in their first round game.

California A’s squeak one out at 2010 ISC WT

Monday, August 16th, 2010

The California A’s only mustered two hits, but in the end, with Sean Whitten’s 14 strikeout shutout, only needed one to win their first game of the 2010 ISC World Tournament. The hit was a triple by Marcus Tan, who came home to score the game’s only run, on a wild pitch.

The # 5 California A’s squad shook off rust from late season inactivity to notch a win in their first game of the 2010 ISC World Tournament, 1-0 over an unheralded – but very tough #33 Staten Island, NY Adco Electric team that played in the ISC II division last year. Pitcher Greg Garrity kept the usually strong A’s offense in check most of the night.

The A’s will play again Tuesday night, at 9pm EDT against western region rival, the Pueblo Bandits, who came into the World Tournament ranked # 21. Pueblo has qualified for the World Tournament in 15 of the past 16 years, and has plenty of veteran experience.
