Fawcetts host Fredericton, Brookfield this weekend
The Guardian
After eight years, the Maritime Fastball League makes its return to Charlottetown this weekend with six games.
The Hunter’s Ale House Fawcetts will host the Fredericton Fastpitch Club and the Brookfield Elks today and Sunday at City Diamond.
The Fawcetts recently completed their successful exhibition games with a 4-1-2 record.
They are hoping the league and selected tournaments will help them prepare for the 2009 national senior men’s fastpitch championship in St. Thomas, Ont.
Mike Bishop and Mitch Hardy will be toeing the rubber for the Fawcetts this weekend.
Both pitchers were dominant throughout the exhibition schedule.
Hot-hitting Chris Craig and Steven Larter will look to jump start the sluggish Fawcetts offence against some of the Maritime’s best pitching.
“The fans should expect low scoring tight ball games,†said the Fawcetts’ Mark Arsenault.
The Fawcetts will host team for the 2010 nationals.
This weekend’s schedule:
Today – 1 p.m., Fawcetts vs. Fredericton; 3 p.m., Fredericton vs. Brookfield; 5 p.m., Fawcetts vs. Brookfield.
Sunday – 10 a.m., Fawcetts vs. Fredericton; 12 p.m., Fredericton vs. Brookfield; 2 p.m., Fawcetts vs. Brookfield.
