Defending champs show early form at women?s NPC 
Sunday January 2nd 2005

Wellington look to be in ominous form after the first day of
play in theNew Zealand Community Trust women?s National Provincial
Cup at HataitaiPark in Wellington.

Making full use of home advantage Wellington started the tournamentstrongly
opening up with a convincing 11-1 victory over Western Bay ofPlenty
and then repeating the score line later in the day as theydefeated
Auckland.

Wellington are the defending champions and look like they will
be toughto beat as they try and match the feats of the Wellington
men?s team whotook out the men?s NPC title just last week.

The defending champions were not the only team to perform well
today asSouthland went through the first day unbeaten with wins
over Nelson 5-1and Hawkes Bay 6-0.

Another side to start strong was Counties Manukau who upset nearneighbours
Auckland 1-0 and then defeated Rotorua 2-0.

The biggest upset of the day came in the final round as the number
oneseeds in section two Hutt Valley was beaten by Waikato 9-8.

Tomorrow will be a key day for Hutt Valley as they look to keep
theirtitle hopes alive. They have key games against the unbeaten
Southland andHawkes Bay and will need two victories to get their
campaign back ontrack.

Another interesting match up tomorrow will see the two unbeaten
sides insection one Wellington and Counties Manukau facing off.

Four new caps in Black Sox team
Monday January 3rd 2004

There will be four new faces in the team when the New Zealand Community 
Trust Black Sox assemble in Rotorua next month for the Evodrive Pacific Cup 
Series.

Black Sox coach Eddie Kohlhase has gone for a mix of experience and youth 
in naming his first 20 man squad. The team includes 13 players from last 
year?s world championship winning team along with four new caps and three 
recalled players.

Kohlhase says the selection panel felt it was important to maintain 
consistency in the team along with developing a few new players.

?There are four brand new caps and it is great for them to be coming into 
such an established team ? a winning established team,? said Kohlhase.

In speaking of the four new caps Kohlhase says Tane Richardson is a pitcher 
who has matured and learnt his craft over recent seasons and the Evodrive 
Series is a chance to him to show what he has got.

One selection made with an eye to the future was the inclusion of young 
Auckland catcher Jonathan Munden. Kohlhase says while he may not receive a 
lot of game time during the series he is confident he can handle the step 
up as he has been catching week in week out at club level to international 
class pitchers Michael Gaiger and Heinie Shannon.

Another youthful selection is the naming of Wellington?s Chris Eden-Huria 
who caught the eye of the national selectors last season playing for 
Canterbury against the Black Sox in the build up to the 2004 World 
Championships.

?Chris is a very big man who has a lot of grace on the diamond in terms of 
balance. He is at a very high level for this stage of his career and we see 
him as a potential development prospect.?

Another who will make his debut at the Evodrive Series is veteran Auckland 
catcher Lyndon Andrew.  At the age of 34 the international call up has been 
a long time coming for Andrew but Kohlhase says the experience he brings to 
the catchers position will prove invaluable during the series.

The naming of the team toady also includes an international recall for 
three players who have been on the fringes of Black Sox selection during 
recent seasons.

?Fabian Makea, Stephen Ratu and Rhys Casley are all guys that are good 
enough to make any other international team in the world but they have come 
up against tough opposition here in New Zealand,? said Kohlhase.

Another feature of the team named today is the selection of infielder 
Nathan Nukunuku as vice captain. Kohlhase says the naming of a vice captain 
while it is rare in softball is all part of developing leadership in the team.

?With the next world championships five years out it is important that we 
develop leaders within the team. Nathan?s selection as vice captain is a 
coming of age for him, he has been around the Black Sox since 2000 and his 
form and ability to lead at the 2004 world champs was inspirational.?

The 20 man squad named today will assemble in Wellington on January 8th for 
a two day camp as part of the build up to the Evodrive Series.

Looking ahead to the series where the Black Sox will be taking Australia, 
Japan, Samoa and Argentina at Rotorua International Stadium from February 
3rd ? 6th Kohlhase is confident he has selected the right team to do the job.

?We have named four pitchers for the series and Jarrad Martin will be able 
to cover the pitching as well and there is some real depth in the hitting 
and we are strong on the bench. We have got guys we can bring into the game 
to do a job weather it be hitting or fielding and we have got a lot of 
speed in the team and offensive power.?

NEW ZEALAND COMMUNITY TRUST BLACK SOX TEAM:
Pitchers - Marty Grant (Wellington), Michael Gaiger (Auckland), Thomas 
Cameron (Auckland), Tane Richardson (Hutt Valley).

Catchers - Lyndon Andrew (Auckland), Patrick Shannon (Auckland).

Infield - Jarrad Martin, captain (Wellington), Dion Nukunuku (Auckland), 
Brad Rona (North Harbour), Nathan Nukunuku, vice captain (Auckland), Roman

Southerners blast off at women's NPC
Monday January 3rd 2005

The team from the deep south, Southland have gone into overdrive on day two 
of the New Zealand Community Trust womens National Provincial Cup at 
Hataitai Park, Wellington today.

With New Zealand Community Trust White Sox pitcher Sheree Cartwright 
leading the way for Southland they have been hard to stop as they scored 27 
runs over two games while conceding just two.

First up Southland dismissed Waikato in the early game today 15-0 and then 
backed that up with a convincing 12-2 win over Hutt Valley in the final 
round of games on day two.

Southland were always going to be a team to watch at this tournament as 
they boast a side full of hitting power and young talent. On the back of 
today's results the southerners lead section two with and unbeaten record 
and look to be in a good position for the start of the playoffs late tomorrow.

In section one the home team Wellington are leading the way also with an 
unbeaten record. Today they overcame Counties Manukau 6-0 and are showing 
strong form as they look to defend the title they won last year.

Section play rounds up tomorrow before the top two teams from each section 
move on the top four final series at 5.30pm while the remaining five teams 
fight it out for the lower placings.

There have been a lot of high scores on day one of the New Zealand 
Community Trust under 19 boy's championships at Fraser Park, Lower Hutt today.

Defending champions Auckland started the tournament strongly with an 
impressive 10-1 victory over Waikato and then they backed that up with 
victories over Nelson and Wellington. Leading the way for the bat for 
Auckland were Daniel Lamb-Hunt and Bernard Hale.

In the first game against Waikato Hale picked up three hits from three at 
bats with a double and triple and an automatic. Lamb-Hunt was just as good 
with three hits from four at bats against Waikato.


Also hitting well on day one was Canterbury who convincingly beat Nelson 
22-2 in their first game of the tournament. Penese Iosefo was a power house 
with the bat for the red and black team with three hits from four trips to 
the plate including two automatic home runs.

Home team Hutt Valley have also started well with a tight 7-6 victory over 
near neighbours backed up by a 7-3 win over the Southern Regions side.

Judd Berthiaume Appointed to ISC Specialist Role As Pitching Clinic 
Administrator


A young, highly decorated, and very active fastball player and enthusiast 
has been appointed to a key position in the administration of pitching 
clinics around the continent.

Judd Berthiaume of Roseville, Minnesota, has been appointed to a position 
as ISC Specialist.  His area of responsibility will be as Pitching Clinic 
Administrator.

In this key role, young (24) Berthiaume will report to ISC Developmental 
Vice President, Wayne Fisher, who is enthusiastic about the appointment, 
citing Judd as "a young man who has literally grown up in the 
game".  Fisher continues, "He is an extremely dedicated and intelligent man 
who at a very young age has agreed to take on a demanding administrative 
responsibility.  His accomplishments and awards speak for themselves, and 
we welcome him to this most important position."

Berthiaume will replace Kyle Beane in this key administrative position with 
the International Softball Congress.

These responsibilities, which will now be assumed by Berthiaume, include 
handling all correspondence and questions about pitching clinics, how to 
stage and promote them, how and where to obtain instructors in the various 
areas, coordination of mailing of instructional videos to clinic 
organizers, and communicating with both ISC personnel and tournament 
directors on all aspects of staging pitching clinics.

Kyle Beane has recently been elected to the A.S.A. Board of Directors as an 
Elite Athlete Rep.  He will also continue to serve the I.S.C. as a Player 
Rep for the Eastern Region.

Judd Berthiaume has been in the game of fastball since early in his teenage 
years, having started to pitch a decade ago.  He has played with teams 
which won three ASA National tournaments including the 18-Under with the 
Poynette Nitehawks and the 23-Under (twice) with Munger, Michigan.  He was 
twice selected to the ASA All-American team in those tournaments.  His 
teams have also notched several top five finishes in ISC Developmental 
tournaments where he was awarded one "Most Valuable Player" award along 
with several All-Tournament positions.

A graduate of University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN, with a degree in 
Broadcast Journalism, he is currently employed by the University in its 
television studio.

Judd is excited about his new position and describes himself as "looking 
forward to getting started!"

As a player, Berthiaume is currently active with Munger, Michigan, as well 
as planning to participate in league play with Grand 7 of St. Paul.  He is 
also playing with the "Aggies", a team which he formed with his brothers 
and a group of their friends who have taken up the sport of fastball after 
playing on a state champion high school baseball team with St. Agnes H.S. 
in St. Paul.

His background and activity in the sport are impressive - - - his 
enthusiasm for the sport, and for the new responsibilities are world-class.

Welcome, Judd Berthiaume, to the International Softball Congress.

Wellington book finals spot at women?s NPC
Tuesday January 4th 2005

The defending champions Wellington are the first team to book a place in 
the final of the New Zealand Community Trust women?s National Provincial Cup.

Wellington the top qualifiers from section one won their way through to the 
final with a convincing 7-1 victory over Hawkes Bay the number one 
qualifier from section two at Hataitai Park, Wellington today.

Who Wellington will meet in the final is still to be decided with playoffs 
continuing tomorrow morning between the top four sides.

In the early game tomorrow Counties Manukau will play Southland with the 
loser dropping out of contention. The winner goes on to play Hawkes Bay for 
the right to play Wellington in the final at 2pm.

Wellington are the only unbeaten team in the tournament after finishing 
section play today with victories over Rotorua and Otago before defeating 
Hawkes Bay in the play off game.

The upset of the day cane when Hawkes Bay was too strong for the previously 
unbeaten Southland as the team from the Bay came out on top 2-1. That 
result saw Hawkes Bay claim the top spot in section two.

Defending champions Auckland is only unbeaten team after two days of play 
at the New Zealand Community Trust under 19 boy?s championships.

Auckland have been in impressive form at Fraser Park, Lower Hutt today as 
they first ended the unbeaten run of Hawkes Bay with a 9-3 win and then 
dismissed the Southern Regions team 17-2 with the game called early as the 
Aucklanders were ahead by 15 runs after three innings.

Bernard Hale has been a star performer for the Aucklanders he was named the 
tournament player of the day after play yesterday and was just as strong 
today when in the key match up against Hawkes Bay he picked up three hits 
from four at bats.

The upset of the day came late as the previously unbeaten Canterbury were 
knocked off their perch by Wellington 3-1. In a close game the southern 
side were three outs away from victory when Gary Pointon stepped up to the 
plate for Wellington with two runners on base and smashed the ball over the 
fence to win the game for his side.

It has not been all bad for Canterbury today though as they were strong 
early in the day overcoming home side Hutt Valley 9-4. Going into the game 
both sides had still to taste defeat and while the home side took the early 
lead they couldn?t maintain it as power hitting from Canterbury took 
control of the game.

Of the nine runs Canterbury scored against Hutt Valley six came courtesy of 
automatics off the bats of Corey Harbour, Michael Taylor, Penese Iosefo and 
Josh Thompson.

Round robin play finishes tomorrow afternoon before the top four teams move 
on to the finals series and the fight for the title.

Local player earns Hall honor

Sunday, January 4, 2005
By Mike Spencer
TIMES SPORTS WRITER

Fastpitch softball is dying, but somehow Delbert Benson still manages to 
keep the game alive.

The 56-year-old Munger resident, who played competitively for three decades 
starting in 1967 with the Akron Merchants, continues to keep the fastpitch 
fires burning by coaching three different teams.

For his coaching efforts, Benson will be inducted into the Michigan Amateur 
Softball Association Hall of Fame on Jan. 22. The ceremony will be held 7 
p.m. at the Holiday Inn in Midland.


"I'm trying to promote the game that has given me the most fun I've ever 
had in my life," said Benson, who currently coaches both the Munger 
Bulldogs and Munger Firemen and has taken 20 teams to the ASA Junior 
Olympic Boys Fastpitch National Championships. "The game is still going 
downhill, but boy I keep hoping we hit the bottom and start to rebound 
sometime soon."

Benson, who started playing shortstop for the Akron Merchants, was hard to 
put out from the left side of the plate.

"Del earned a reputation as being the toughest out to get on his team," 
said Vassar's Jim Volk, Del's first manager and now an MASA district 
commissioner and board member. "He learned how to play the game, starting 
with the bunting game and he adjusted.

"Even today, when he gets an occasional at bat, you can't get him. He has 
an eye for the game."

"Del was a competitor," said former Auburn catcher Chet Beane, who played 
against Benson but now is glad to have him as his side coaching the Midland 
Explorers. "He was a good, all-around player. And he always hit the ball to 
left or left center. He was hard to strike out."

Benson could also play the field.

"Del was a steady infielder," Volk recalled. "He didn't have a great arm or 
great range. But he got to the ball and he got the outs."

Benson, one of eight new inductees, said he was honored but surprised at 
the his election.

"Every time the phone rings, I wonder if it's the MASA changing their 
minds," said Benson jokingly.


Benson, a plant manager for Fairgrove's Archer Daniels Midland Co., 
competed in two ASA nationals.

"I've met a lot of great friends, but I I'll never forget the first 
Merchants team in 1972 to go to the Class C state finals," said Benson. 
"Back then you had to win seven or eight games in the districts or 
regionals. It wasn't easy."

Another highlight was playing in Bay City in the mid-1970s in a league that 
included Saginaw and Midland ballclubs.

"We were really good and we were playing against the best teams in the 
country," said Benson. "It was special just to play that caliber of ball 
for the first time."

He got into coaching with the Midland Metros and was instrumental in 
organizing the Munger Bulldogs in 1979.

Now Benson divides his time between the Class A Munger Bulldogs, a team 
comprised mostly of players 23-and-under, and the Class D Munger Firemen, a 
group of 19-and-under players who compete in the Reese/Vassar league. Both 
teams are sponsored by the Munger Firemen.

In 23-and-under nationals, Benson has guided the Bulldogs to one title and 
another second place finish. In the 19-and-under nationals, he has two 
runner-up finishes and three thirds.

"With his organizational and leadership skills, Del has helped keep 
fastpitch thriving in the Thumb and mid-Michigan area," said Volk. "He is 
held in high esteem by his fellow managers, players, umpires, league 
directors and commissioners.


"Through the game he loves, he has helped to keep fastpitch softball alive 
today."

Other inductees include: Jerry Henning, former Bay City Made Rite 
player/manager; Dave Ganton, Reese, player; Jim Stankowski, Scottville, 
manager; the late Ron Myers, Shepherd, meritorious service; Kevin Ryan, 
Brighton, umpire; Jerry Rosevear, Petoskey, meritorious service; and the 
late Ralph Ward, Saginaw, manager.

Tickets for the induction are $30, but must be purchased by Friday. Tickets 
are available through the players or the MASA office, 3316 Isabella St., 
Midland or by phoning (989) 835-5821.

Frankenmuth, MI


The Frankenmuth Fastpitch softball team has had a busy offseason and has 
finalized plans to add three Newfoundlanders to its 2005 ISC roster.  With 
holdover Jason Hill already in the fold, the Frankenmuth team will have a 
distinct Atlantic Canada flavor this season.   In addition to Hill, 
Frankenmuth will add pitchers Matt Bramwell and Blair Ezekiel along with 
catcher Jon Kelly to its 2005 roster.

Ezekiel joins Frankenmuth full time this year after pitching for the 
Driving School team in the 2004 Alvinston Jimmy Shaw tournament and the ISC 
23 & Under tournament in Frankenmuth.  Blair pitched the Driving School to 
a 3rd place finish at the Shaw tournament and carried the team through the 
loser's bracket of the 23 & Under tournament to a second place finish.  He 
earned 23& Under MVP honors with a 5-1 record on the hill and a batting 
average of over .400.  Ezekiel also helped The Bar of Appleton, WI, to a 
third place finish at last year's ISC II Tournament of Champions.  Ezekiel 
has also led his NL provincial team to silver and bronze medals at the last 
two Junior Canadian nationals.

Bramwell will join the team in August for the ISC World Tournament ins Eau 
Claire, Wisconsin.  Plans are also in the works to add Matt to the roster 
for some of the team's weekend tournaments earlier in the season.  Matt 
throws hard and when not toeing up on the rubber can play anywhere on the 
diamond.  He will also be a nice addition to the midldle of the team's 
young lineup.  Matt led his local club team to the Provincial Senior Men's 
Newfoundland title in 2004 while capturing MVP honors.  He will also 
represent his province at the Canadian Nationals in St. Thomas, Ontario, in 
late August before joining Frankenmuth in Eau Claire.  Matt played in last 
year's world tournament with the Halifax Murphy's Fish & Chip's/Keith's.

Kelly will handle the bulk of the catching duties for Frankenmuth this 
year.  Jon will join his fellow Newfies in the middle of the Frankenmuth 
lineup.  Jon has hit .400 or better at the last three Junior Canadian 
championships and has earned 2 All Canadian Team awards.  He has proven 
himself at the Junior level and is looking forward to making the jump to 
Senior ball.

Manager Tom Stasik looks for these upgrades, along with this season's 
improved pre-ISC schedule, to pay dividends at this year's World 
Tournament.  In addition, the Frankenmuth team has been in contact with a 
former ASA All American and veteran of the Major circuit and hopes to have 
him in the fold for ISC play soon.  Stay tuned...

Auckland retain under 19 boy?s title in a thriller
Thursday January 6th 2005

The fight for the New Zealand Community Trust under 19 boy?s title went 
down to the wire at Fraser Park, Lower Hutt today.

In a thrilling final defending champions Auckland have retained the title 
winning the final 7-6 over Canterbury in the first tie breaker inning.

Canterbury took the early advantage in the final scoring three runs in the 
third inning on the back to automatics from the bats of Anthony Stuart and 
Michael Taylor. The Southerners went further ahead in the fourth inning 
courtesy on a big home run from Bowen Annandale.

Auckland picked up one run in the fifth inning but when Canterbury scored 
two more runs in the top of the sixth inning they looked to have the game 
wrapped up at 6-1 but no one told Auckland.

The defending champions took the final down to the wire when Auckland 
catcher Jonathan Munden demonstrated the reason for his call up to the New 
Zealand Community Trust Black Sox.

In the bottom of the sixth inning Munden stepped up to the plate and 
smashed a huge home run with two runners on base to get his team back in 
the game. Auckland tied the game up in their final turn at bat in the 
bottom of the seventh inning with two further runs to send the game into 
tie breaker innings.

Auckland secured the game in the first tie breaker inning after they kept 
Canterbury scoreless in the top of the inning and then picked up one title 
winning run in their turn at bat.

Following the final New Zealand under 19 coach Mark Sorenson and his 
selection panel named a 22 man training squad to prepare for the junior 
boy?s World Championships to be held in Canada later this year.

Rookie added to White Sox pitching staff
Monday January 10th 2005

There is a Tangaroa back on the mound pitching for New Zealand
but it isnot the well known Chubb it is his daughter Michal who
won a call up tothe New Zealand Community Trust White Sox today.

Michal Tangaroa has been added to the White Sox squad for the
New ZealandCommunity Trust Tri Series to be held in Christchurch
this weekend. The18-year-old will be with the Kiwi team as they
take on a World All Starsline up and the national Japanese under
23 team.

White Sox coach Mike Walsh chose to include Tangaroa for the
series withan eye on the future and on the back of her strong
form for Hawkes Bay atthe national under 19 girls tournament
and the National Provincial Cup.

Tangaroa has been included as cover for the four pitchers already
namedin case of injury and to give her a taste of the White Soxenvironment.

?We wanted to give Michal an opportunity to get into the White
Soxenvironment and be part of the dynamics for the future. She
has comealong really well in the last 18 months she is getting
stronger and shehas developed more movement with the ball and
speed,? saidWalsh.

Michal follows in the steps of her father Chubb who played for
the BlackSox during the 1980?s and 90?s. Chubb was also pitching
coach for theBlack Sox at the 2004 World Championships.

Proud dad Chubb says Michal has put in a lot of work over the
years toreach the elite level and she was wrapped to hear the
news of her callup.

?This is the first stage of a new journey for Michal we have
put in a lotof hard work together and to see it come to fruition
is great,? saidTangaroa.

White Sox blast past All Stars
Saturday January 15th 2005

A fourth inning blitz has seen the New Zealand Community Trust White Sox 
defeat the World All Stars team 4-0 in the NZCT Tri Series at Smokefree 
Ballpark, Christchurch today.

Two big hits to the left field fence in the fourth inning from White Sox 
hitters Fiona Timu and Maleme Williams scored all the runs for the home 
team. Jackie Smith lead the inning off by getting on base via and error and 
Togi Lote following her did the same. That brought Williams up to the plate 
and she smashed the ball to the left field fence for a stand up double that 
scored Smith.

White Sox captain Fiona Timu kept the runs coming when she also hit to the 
left field fence for a stand up triple to score Kalala Faalogo running for 
Lote and Williams. Timu then rounded off the scoring when she came home on 
a hit by Nic Pouaka.

Ahead by 4-0 the White Sox were always in control of the game with Kiwi 
pitcher Lisa Such keeping a tight lid on the All Star batters. Such started 
the game on the mound pitching six innings and giving up just the two hits 
and no runs. Such was replaced at the start of the seventh inning with 
16-year-old Jessica Hau coming in to pitch the final inning.

Australian pitcher Zara Mee was on the mound for the All Stars facing 29 
batters taking five strike outs and giving up five hits and four runs.

The White Sox have had two wins over the All Stars in the tri series and 
will face them again tomorrow at 12.30pm with the winner of that game going 
on to face the Japan under 23 team in the series final at 3pm.

The Japanese team won direct entry through to the final courtesy of two 
wins today over the All Stars 9-1 and the White Sox 6-5.

Victory over the White Sox today for Japan was a close run thing as the 
home team came from behind to give the visitors a real fright. With the 
Japanese team coasting at 5-0 in the sixth inning the game looked to be 
wrapped up but the White Sox had something to say about that.

The White Sox were sparked into life in the bottom of the sixth inning when 
designated player Maleme Williams smashed the ball to the left field fence 
with the bases loaded for a stand up double that scored three runs. Two 
further runs were scored in the inning on the back of hits from Cindy Potae 
and Nic Pouaka to level up the scores at 5-5.

Japan had more fight though in the top of the seventh inning they scored 
the game winning run when Ayumi Tanaka came home on a hit from Sonomi 
Monshita.  The White Sox had no answer in their final at bat with Japanese 
pitcher Miyuki Ito closing them out.

NEW ZEALAND COMMUNITY TRUST TRI SERIES RESULTS

Denmark, WI

The Boys of Summer Open tournament will be held July 8-10 at Circle Tap
and Memorial Park in Denmark, Wisconsin.  The tournament has grown
considerably over the last 5 years and has now become one of the most
competitive tournaments anywhere.  The atmosphere is excellent with Circle
Tap Bar and Grill only a few yards from the playing field.  Huge fans can
sit on the deck or bleachers or inside the bar to take on the games.
There is a full menu if you are hungry and it is a bar so anything you
want to drink is available on site as well.  Also there will be a beer
garden again down the 1st base line.  The crowds are always strong and
knowledgeable.  Media coverage is always outstanding with details of each
game in the Green Bay Press-Gazette.  We also had 3 TV stations doing some
interviews and stories throughout the weekend and we anticipate the same
again this year.  We have filled the tournament for this year.  The field
includes:

County Materials-Marathon, WI
The Farm- Madison, WI
Circle Tap-Denmark, WI
The Bar on the Avenue-Appleton, WI
The Bull/Townline-DePere, WI
IS Knights-Fargo, ND
St. Louis, MO
Team Rainey-Whittier, CA
Dolan/Murphy-Aurora, IL
Stix-Bloomington, IL
Patsy's- New York
RWP-Geneva, MN

This is a 3 pools of 4 round robin event.  6 teams advance to a single
elimination tournament on Sunday.

DAVENPORT, IA -- The Quad City Sox are pleased to announce the signing of 
their newest pitcher for the 2005 season -- Harold Kelly.  Harold lives in 
St. John's, Newfoundland.  He threw for Plangger's Furniture in 2004.  He 
helped Plangger's to a 7th place finish in last year's ISC World 
Tournament.  Harold should fit-in nicely with Al Rebling on the Sox' 
pitching staff.

The Sox may have an opening for a catcher to compliment their current 
roster.  If you are interested, feel free to contact Sean Marten at 
<mailto:ssmarten at aol.com>ssmarten at aol.com or by phone at (563) 391-8307.

The Sox hope to announce their entire roster and schedule in the near future.

We are deeply saddened to pass along to you this tragic news this morning.

Brendan Fisher, son of Wayne and Jerilyn Fisher was one of two people 
killed in a tragic accident in Milwaukee yesterday.

No other details are available at this time however we will keep you 
informed through Ken Hackmeister.

2 die when car rear-ends snowplow on I-94

A gusting, swirling blizzard dumped more than a foot of snow on some parts 
of the Milwaukee area, delighting children, sledders and skiers, but 
confounding motorists, driveway shovelers and a slew of air travelers 
stranded in their quest to reach warm-weather destinations.

While the storm itself seemed to pass without major incident, its aftermath 
turned deadly.

Two people died late Saturday when the car they were traveling in 
rear-ended a county snowplow on Interstate 94 just east of Highway 100, 
said Milwaukee County Sheriff's Deputy Phil Wentzel. Two other occupants of 
the car were injured, Wentzel said.

The accident happened about 9:30 p.m. in the eastbound lanes of the 
freeway, which were closed after the crash.

Snow storm dumps up to 13 inches across Wisconsin

As much as 13 inches of snow blanketed parts of Wisconsin Saturday, 
canceling sporting events, closing museums and libraries and making travel 
treacherous statewide as plows tried to keep up with blowing snow.

The snowstorm that made its way across the country Friday and lingered 
through Saturday morning dumped between 5 and 11 inches in most parts of 
Wisconsin, and lake effect snow off Lake Michigan caused some areas, such 
as Milwaukee and Waukesha, to see a total of 13 inches.

''The main issue they are dealing with is the blowing snow,'' making 
visibility poor, Milwaukee County sheriff's deputy Phil Wentzel said 
Saturday. ''They go through with the plow and as soon as they go through it 
comes right back. There's not a lot they can do with it.''


Two people died late Saturday when the car they were traveling in 
rear-ended a snowplow on Interstate 94, Wentzel said. Two other occupants 
of the car were also injured in the crash that shut down the eastbound 
lanes of the freeway.

Owen Sound, ON

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Harry Dozak died Friday.  Almost nobody has heard of Harry Dozak,
butHarry was "Jake the Snake" in my neck of the fastball woods.


Harry was an intellectually challenged knuckle baller with a
hare lip.His life was fastball. He threw junk and nothing but.
Hisclaim to fame was his snakeball.although he pronounced it
"fnakeball'.His fnakeball was pretty good, baffling many recreational
players inour hometown of Owen Sound which was pretty well a
fastball Mecca atthe time.

Harry was a fixture at Harrison Field, six doors down from my
place and3 down from a guy named Bill Simpson and his young son
Jamie. Iremember that Wednesday night was the big ball night
at Harrison Field.I often watched Harry throw the junk and last
into the fifth or sobefore losing in the sixth. Harry didn't
win alot. He didn't need to.

Harry lived the game. Harry was fastball and fastball was Harry.
I'veseen some of the best play our game, but I'd be hard pressed
to findone with the drive and dedication that Harry Dozak showed
everyWednesday night. Nothing at stake, nothing to gain, nothing
to lose.Fastball for the sake of fastball.

We'll miss the fnakeball, Harry.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I recently updated The Bar of Appleton's website (www.thebarfastpitch.com)
with the results from the 2005 AAU International Tournament.
 I have provided a play by play of each of our games from the
scorebook as best I could.  These can be found in the Play by
Play folder.  There is also a brief summary under the My Site
News folder.  I apologize for any misspelled names or lack of
names.
 
I can only speak for myself but I would definitely recommend
the AAU International tournament for those who love fastpitch
and would love to get out of the cold.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Seventh Annual AAU Invitational Fastpitch Tournament was
played 20-23 January at Disney Wide World of Sports Complex in
Kissimmee, Florida.   Four beautiful, sunny days, ideal for fastpitch
players; twenty-four teams from eight different countries and
eight states competed on six manicured diamonds.  This is the
fifth year I have attended this tournament and it gets better
each year.  This tournament was far better than any of the ASA
major tournaments for the past ten years.  Many of the top players
from Canada and the USA participated.  Each year I am amazed
of how well the teams from the Caribbean, Central and South America
play.  Most could easily compete in the ISC Major Championship.

This tournament has evolved into one of the better tournaments
played in North America and I am certain that the participants
and fans appreciate the TIME and EFFORT that Ken Hackmeister
and Alex Linares gave to create so successful and endeavor.

I stayed at the Howard Johnson Parkside several miles from the
ballfields, in an excellent, very quiet room costing $36.00 a
night, total, which included a large continental breakfast. A
tournament pass cost only $17.50 and the parking was free.  Many
reasonably priced restaurants near the hotel.

Hi Al,
 
I wish to make a slight change on one of the profiles if possible.

re:
http://www.escribe.com/sports/alsfastball/m16746.html

 
EVAN CONNORS ( INFIELD/OF ) Evan also plays for the N/L CBC Jr
Canadians and was a key player in their bronze metal finish at
the 2004 Canadian Nationals. Evan is a speedy leadoff or top
of the order hitter that can get the rally going.Evan hits for
average and can give you a few dingers as well.Evan and Leon
are both exceptional talents and provide an eastern flavour to
our roster.We are pleased to have them join our club to showcase
their talents.
 
I apologize for any inconvenience,
 
Thanks,
Frank

For those that wish to view my 2004 Valley Chronicle "2004 Year
In Review"
photos Go to:www.thevalleychronicle.com/news.

Then click on: "A Year In Review - Bob Otto" in the index.

And if you want to spark a little romance with that special Valentine,
read
how dance instructor Shirley Clifton has her students "dancin
and romancin"
in her beginning dance class. (Might just help improve the footwork
for some
of our fastpitch players. Along with their love lives...)

Go to: www.thevalleychronicle.com/news.
Click on: "Hemet Police Get New Weapon." Scroll down the news
index on the
left side and look for "dancin and romancin."

I'll be working on my new editor (starts Monday) for my own photo
(including
fastpitch photos) page...we'll see.

I hope you enjoy,
Bob Otto

The Peterboro Ricart Pros fastball team participated in the 7th
Annual AAU International Men's Fastpitch Tournament played 20-23
January at Disney Wide World of Sports Complex in Kissimmee,
Florida.  We would like to thank a number of people who made
our first time experience at the tournament a memorable one,
Ken Hackmeister and Alex Linares tireless efforts made everything
possible, Jim Flanagan who again continues to promote the game
through today's technologies and of course last but not least,
Blue, who did an excellent job considering the high calibre of
ball without for the most part spring training to get ready.
    
The Ricart Pros finished with a 2-3 record and acquitted itself
quite well considering that our players are in the off season
and also running into the New York Gremlins in our 2nd Championship
bracket game. The following are the game by game line scores

We
got a little taste of ball last weekend in Orlando and I can
see already
it's going to be a long 3 months until we get to have that feeling
again. 
Not much else to say about that tournament that hasn't been said
already. 
It's flat out a must go event.

First things first, we are now announcing the signing of utility
player
Kyle Magnusson. Kyle is the 5th member of the CT team to also
be a member
of the US Men's national team. Kyle will see time at various
positions
throughout the year as he can play anywhere. We are very happy
to have
him aboard.

Here is the remainder of the roster:

Adam LaLonde
Chris Miljavac
Chris Delarwelle
Rob O'Brien
Don Garvey
Kevin Reichardt
Darren Derricks
Steve Sell
Kyle Magnusson
Jesse Wotruba
Dewey Dyck
Todd Malnory
Rob Scheller
Brock Bisick-part time
Jamie Knudson-part time
Dean Kane
Denny Bruckert

Our complete schedule can be found on our website on the
fastpitchchronicle.com website
We are looking forward to another very strong year as we compete
in the
war zone of fastpitch..., Wisconsin. We will be again competing
in the
Wisconsin Travel League as well as tournaments in Des Moines,
Kimberly,
Decatur, Eau Claire, Monkton, Denmark, Allentown, Madison, Aurora,

After 36 years in operation the Victoria Men's Fastball Team
has folded. Over their history these teams were known as Bate
Construction, Budgets, Royals, Pay Less, Legends and Traveller's
Inn.  Their accomplishments include; Co winners of an ISF World
Championship, The last club Team to win a Pan Am gold medal for
Canada and 10 National Championships. The West Coast Fastball
Society, who operated the team in 2004 were dealt a heavy blow
in early December when Traveller's Inn representative Harvey
Stevenson Sr. informed President Gary McInnis that Traveller's
Inn were unable to provide any cash for the team for the 2005
season but would help out in rooms for visiting teams. After
several meetings with individuals and companies to find the cash
needed to operate the ball club the executive met last night
and with no sponsor or sponsors folded the operation for the
2005 season.
We would like to wish everyone a successful 2005 season.

Evodrive Series officially opened
Wednesday February 2nd 2005

Rotorua International Stadium was the stage this afternoon for
theofficial opening of the Evodrive Series which will see the
New ZealandCommunity Trust Black Sox taking on some of the best
teams from aroundthe world over the next four days.

As part of the opening the Black Sox were part of a parade of
teams alongwith Australia, Japan, Samoa and the All Stars. Rotorua
mayor KevinWinters welcomed the teams to Rotorua and wished them
all well for anexciting four days of softball ahead.

Following the opening ceremony a celebrity match was held as
a team oflocal identities pitched their sporting talents against
a collection ofplayers taking part of the series. A feature of
the teams was thecoaching of The Mad Butcher Peter Leitch who
had the dubious honour ofcoaching both sides.

Given the good nature of the game it was widely agreed that the
team oflocal identities came out on top and there was even suggestions
of themkeeping the team together to compete in the series.

The fun nature of the opening ceremony will be put to one side
tomorrowwhen the Evodrive Series gets underway with the opening
game at RotoruaInternational Stadium between the Black Sox and
Samoa at 11am.

The series runs for four days with all teams completing a double
roundrobin before the top three sides play off in a finals series
on SundayFebruary 6th.

The Black Sox haven?t taken to the diamond as a team since theirvictorious
feats at the 2004 World Championships where they claimed theirthird
consecutive world title. 

While it may have been a year since their last game together
the team aredetermined the continue the Black Sox winning way
during the series asthey set the platform now for their long
term goal of successfullydefending their world title in 2009.

Farewell to a friend

Family, former classmates say goodbye to Fisher



By Rob Daniel
Iowa City Press-Citizen

It was time to say goodbye to a friend.

As the blue and gold balloons floated into the cloudy sky above
St. Joseph Cemetery, the throng of mourners -- a few wearing
Regina football hats -- slowly marched by the casket of Brendan
Fisher to the tune of "Amazing Grace" played on bagpipes. Placing
a rose on top, they moved to the side, where they remembered
their friend in silence.

Fisher, 23, died Jan. 22 after the vehicle he was traveling in
with three co-workers hit the back of a snowplow along a snowy
Interstate 94 near Highway 100 in Milwaukee. Fisher, the son
of Wayne and Jerilyn Fisher, was a 2000 graduate of Regina High
School, where he was a four-sport athlete, and a May 2004 graduate
of Marquette University in criminology and law studies. Two colleagues
from the Milwaukee marketing firm he worked for also died in
the crash.

On Saturday, more than 200 family and friends, some traveling
from as far away as Germany and California, said goodbye during
a funeral Mass at St. Mary's Catholic Church. His uncle and godfather,
Richard McCarty of Elk Grove Village, Ill., said through tears
that his nephew always showed compassion for others.

"Losing someone like Brendan gives tragedy a whole new meaning,"
McCarty said. "We really should feel incredible gratitude to
him, the Lord and his parents ... that we knew him."

of their son's casket during the burial service Saturday at St.
Joseph's Cemetery.  Press-Citizen / Jason A. Cook
>
The Rev. Kenneth Kun-tz, the priest at St. Mary's, said Fisher
lived life to the fullest, yet continued to be concerned about
people. He stressed Fisher's work at a Milwaukee legal aid office,
where he helped HIV and AIDS patients, as well as the time he
stayed up all night to talk to a friend who was considering suicide.

"Brendan was someone who was easy to love," Kuntz said. "I think
Brendan would want us to continue his legacy, living life to
the fullest ... showing concern to others. That is what life
is all about."

Many of his friends and former teammates at Regina and Marquette
came to say goodbye.

Robert Campagna, 22, graduated with Fisher from Regina, where
both were teammates on the football, basketball, baseball and
track teams.

Campagna said Fisher was one of his best friends after Campagna
moved to Iowa City from New York before starting fourth grade.

"He was my first friend in Iowa,' Campagna said. "He was the
best type of guy you could find."

Shaun Hargrave, 21, was a classmate of Fisher's at both Regina
and Marquette. He said Fisher convinced him to attend Marquette,
where the two regularly spent Saturdays together hanging out
with other friends watching football and having fun.

"Those were the greatest days of my life," Hargrave said. "While
I was there (at Marquette), he became my best friend. He valued
his friends above everything else. If I could do half the things
he did, I'd be alright."

Hi Al,
Just to let you know that I have had numerous people inform me
that they 
have written Stephen Owen and their MP's about this Canada Games
travesty.
Interestingly I see no leadership or response from our Provincial
Sport 
Body's or Softball Canada to assist us in our campaign.
Surely they haven't given up, we can't

Who should write:
The 1200 players and coaches who had the experience of attending
The parents who supported their sons in such a great event
The club teams that had the benefit of having participants on
their team
The Top level clubs who had the benefit of these players playing
in a 
environment that encourages them to play higher.
And anyone else that cares.

Thanks to the Aussie, who informed me he sent an email.

One writer informed me that Men's Fastpitch was sold out for
the Medal Games 
at the last two C.G.
Can this be confirmed?

If you haven't written yet, time too!!!!

Thanks for your help,
Tom Taylor

Dear Honorable Member:
As a constituent in your riding I would like to request your
assistance regarding a matter that is very important to me. 
I am a strong supporter of the sport of Softball.  As you know,
sport is extremely important to the health and well-being of
Canadians.  Softball is a sport played by over 300,000 people
in Canada.  It helps to raise activity levels, build self-esteem
and teach life lessons.  Softball Canada, the National Sport
Organization, recently went through the sport selection process
for the 2009 Canada Summer Games.  As you know, the Canada Summer
Games is a national multi-sport competition for Canadian youth.
 This event is a key step in the development of softball athletes
at the high performance level.
Sports are selected to a particular Canada Games program approximately
five years in advance of the Games.  The Canada Games Council
begins the sport selection process by circulating a draft of
the process to all stakeholders (Federal and Provincial/Territorial
Governments and National Sport Organizations) and feedback is
requested.  This was done in September 2003.  After the consultation
period, the Canada Games Council then publishes and sends a detailed
sport selection process to National Sport Organizations (NSOs)
like Softball Canada and calls for applications.  This was done
in August 2004.  This is a very extensive application that involves
points awarded for rankings by the Federal Government (Sport
Canada), rankings by the Provincial/Territorial Governments,
rankings of the NSO?s Coaching Programs, number of members and
international competitions the sport competes in.
In September of 2004, Softball Canada applied to have Softball
included in the 2009 Canada Summer Games.  After all the applications
were reviewed, it was determined that Women?s Softball was in
the 2009 Games but Men?s Softball was not.  The basis for the
exclusion of Men?s Softball was the awarding of zero ?0? points
out of a possible 32.5 points from the Federal Government (Sport
Canada).  After reviewing the results of the selection process,
Softball Canada felt that an error was made in how the criteria
for selection were applied.  An appeal was sent to the Canada
Games Council on November 18, 2004.  It was decided the appeal
had merit and was then forwarded to an independent arbitrator
for review.  After gathering all the necessary information, the
arbitrator ruled in favour of Softball Canada.  The arbitrator
gave the Canada Games Council three (3) options to resolve the
matter. These were:
1)	Apply the criteria as they were correctly interpreted by Softball
Canada (this would have put Men?s softball in the Games).
2)	Allow the sports for the 2005 Games on the 2009 program (this
would have put Men?s softball in the Games).
3)	Throw the whole process out and re-write the criteria, allowing
the Canada Games Council the possibility of now writing the criteria
to match how they originally, incorrectly, interpreted them.
With all the scoring effectively known, the likelihood was that
the same result as the previously voided process would then be
replicated.
This is the point in time where I have strong misgivings about
the actions of the Canada Games Council.  Instead of realizing
that they made an error and accepting they were in the wrong,
they chose the option where they ?trashed? the entire sport selection
process and decided to re-write the rules.  A new sport selection
process was then quickly created and circulated by the Canada
Games Council in January 2005.  I can think of no other situation
where an organization would be allowed to re-write the rules
after they were published and a fair competition had been held.
 It is normal practice to accept the correction and then re-write
the policies, if that is required, for the next time around.
 This would have been for the 2013 Canada Summer Games not the
2009 Games.
The second situation that concerns me is the ranking given to
Men?s Softball by the Federal Government (Sport Canada).  The
score of zero ?0? was given because Sport Canada does not recognize
the results from the very successful Softball Canada Men?s National
teams (7 straight gold medals at the Pan American Games and recently
a silver medal at the 2004 World Championship).  My understanding
of Sport Canada?s policy is that Men?s Softball is disadvantaged
because Women?s Softball is in the Olympics (Sport Canada only
recognizes the Olympic version of a sport).  If it were the other
way around, however, and Men?s Softball was in the Olympics,
the Women?s National Team results would be recognized and awarded
points due to Sport Canada?s gender equity policy.  No other
sport is in this unique position of only having the Women?s program
in the Olympics. This should not serve to punish the male side
of the game.  Other non-Olympic sports are better off when neither
the Men?s nor Women?s programs are in the Olympics. In that case
both their teams? results in World Championships are recognized
by Sport Canada and they are each awarded points.  Again, how
is that fair or equitable for Men?s Softball?
So I am asking for your support.  I am requesting that you bring
these two issues to the attention of Minister for Sport, Mr.
Stephen Owen, so that a proper resolution, in the interest of
fairness, can be reached.
If you should have any questions regarding this situation, please
contact Mr. Hugh Mitchener, CEO of Softball Canada (613-523-3386,
ext. 3106 or hmitchener at softball.ca).
Sincerely,


Als Fastball List

A home run double from the New Zealand Community Trust Black
Sox has seenthem defeat Samoa 2-0 in the opening game of the
Evodrive Series inRotorua this morning.

The home run double at Rotorua International Stadium came in
the bottomof the fifth inning when first catcher Patrick Shannon
fired one over thelet field fence off the pitching of his twin
brother Heinie. 

On the back of the home run Heinie Shannon was replaced on the
mound byMichael Roberts but that didn?t stop the runs as Rhys
Casley was next tothe plate and he smashed one over the right
field fence to put the BlackSox 2-0 up.

The Black Sox haven?t taken to the diamond since their victorious
featsat the world championships last year and today?s first up
game was alwaysgoing to involve a few nerves. Coach Eddie Kohlhase
was making his debutas head coach in the game while Wellington?s
Chris Eden-Huria also madehis first official Black Sox appearance
in left outfield as did DamianMcCulloch of Wellington.

On the mound for New Zealand was pitcher Marty Grant and he was
dominantas he faced 25 batters taking eight strikeouts and giving
up just one hitand one walk. Samoa?s only hit in the game came
in the top of the seventhinning when Michael Fenton picked up
a single to left field. Gus Legeralso picked up a walk in the
same inning.   

Starting the game on the mound for Samoa was Heinie Shannon and
while hegave up one automatic home run to his brother he had
a good day on themound. Shannon pitched the opening five innings
facing 14 batters andtaking six strikeouts and giving up just
one hit and one run. 

Michael Roberts replaced Shannon on the mound in the fifth inning
and hefaced seven batters giving up two hits and one run.

In other results from the opening morning of the Evodrive SeriesAustralia
defeated the All Stars 2-0.

The Black Sox have two more games today taking on the All Stars
at 2.30pmand Japan at 7pm.
Results Thursday February 3rd:

Black Sox blast past All Stars
Thursday February 3rd 2005

Strong powerful hitting has seen the New Zealand Community Trust
BlackSox take out their second victory today at the Evodrive
Series inRotorua.

In a convincing display the Black Sox were too strong for an
All Starstaking out the win 11-1 at Rotorua International Stadium
this afternoon.

A feature of the Black Sox hitting was a big home run from Rhys
Casley inthe fifth inning as he pummelled the ball over the right
field fence withtwo runners on base. Casley?s automatic against
the All Stars comes onthe back of another home run earlier in
the day against Samoa.

Casley was not the only home run hitter in the game with Brad
Ronagetting in on the act in the second inning and Black Sox
captain JarradMartin ending the game in the sixth inning also
with an automatic.

The Black Sox were not the only home run hitters with the All
Stars onlyrun of the game coming in the fourth inning when baseballer
Travis Wilsonsmashed a huge homer over the left field fence.

After picking up one run in the first inning via Thomas Makea
and anotherthree in the second the Black Sox were always in control
of the gamewhich finished in six innings when the mercy rule
was invoked as theBlack Sox were up by 10 runs. 

While there was strong hitting there was also a good performance
on themound from Black Sox hurler Michael Gaiger who pitched
five inningsfacing 17 batters and taking nine strike outs and
giving up just twohits.

Tane Richardson came on in relief in the sixth inning to make
his debut.Another to make his first Black Sox appearance was
catcher Lyndon Andrewwho started the game before being replaced
in the sixthinning.       

For All Stars pitcher Jeremy Manly it was a tough day on the
mound as hehad few answers to the power of the Black Sox batters.
Manly faced 30batters giving up 10 hits and taking one strike
out.

It has been a strong start to the series for the Black Sox as
victoryover the All Stars follows a win over Samoa earlier today
2-0.

Following the game against the All Stars Black Sox coach Eddie
Kohlhasewas a happy man with the Black Sox hitting consistently
and new playersto the squad putting their hand up. 

While it has been a good start Kohlhase is still looking for
even more ashe wants his team to start games better and then
build on that throughoutthe game. 

The Black Sox have one more game today as they take on Japan
at7pm.

Results Thursday February 3rd   

Game 1  New Zealand    2      Samoa           0
Game 2  Australia      2       AllStars       0
Game 3 Japan          2      Samoa           0
Game 4  New Zealand    11      AllStars       1

Black Sox strike back
Thursday February 3rd 2005 10:15pm 

The New Zealand Community Trust Black Sox have come from behind
to defeatJapan 9-5 for their third victory today at the Evodrive
Series inRotorua.

Black Sox outfielder Thomas Makea set the crowd alight at RotoruaInternational
Stadium tonight in the bottom of the fifth inning with anin the
park home run with two runners on base. That hit put the Black
Soxin front for the first time in the game and it was a lead
they refused torelinquish.

It was a trying game for both sides as constant rain throughout
thefixture made things difficult. Discussions were held between
the umpiresand team coaches in the fifth inning regarding the
conditions but thedecision was made to play on.

Japan took the early lead with two runs in the opening inning
courtesy ofan automatic homerun from the bat of Hiroshi Ishimura
over the centrefield fence with one runner on base. 

The home team struck back with one run of their own in the first
inningwhen Nathan Nukunuku also send the ball flying over the
centre fieldfence. The outfield fences were rattled again in
the second inning whenYasutoshi Yamasaki for Japan hit over the
right field fence to put histeam up 3-2.

Strong hitting in the bottom of the second saw the Black Sox
peg two runsback with Patrick Shannon and Rhys Casley both scoring
to tie up thegame. Japan scored again in the third and fourth
innings to take theadvantage again before Black Sox captain Jarrad
Martin came up withsomething special to get his team back in
the game.

Martin fired the ball over the left field fence in the bottom
of thefourth inning with Thomas Makea on base to score two runs
and put hisside back on level terms with Japan. 

Following on from the heroics of his captain Thomas Makea then
came tothe party with his in the park home run to score three
runs to give theBlack Sox the advantage. One further run in the
bottom of the sixthinning on the back of good running from Roman
Gabriel saw the Black Soxclose out the game.

In the pitching stakes Thomas Cameron started the game on the
mound forthe Black Sox but was replaced in the second innings
having given upthree runs and two hits from the seven batters
he faced. 

Tane Richardson came on in relief for the Black Sox and had a
strong gamewith Richardson taking seven strikeouts and giving
up five hits againstthe 22 batters he faced. 

Yukinori Nakashima started the game on the mound for Japan before
beingreplaced in the second inning by Tatsuya Hamaguchi.

Day one of the Evodrive Series has been a successful one for
the BlackSox as they have claimed three victories and along with
Australia are theonly unbeaten teams in the tournament. 

The Black Sox opened the day with a 2-0 victory over Samoa courtesy
ofback to back home runs from Patrick Shannon and Rhys Casley
and strongpitching from Marty Grant.

Game two for the Black Sox was more convincing as they defeated
the AllStars 11-1 in six innings with the mercy rule invoked.
A feature of thatgame was the hitting of Rhys Casley who picked
up his second automatic ofthe tournament this time with two runners
on base. 

Day two of the Evodrive Series tomorrow will see the Black Sox
taking onJapan again at 3pm followed by an evening match up against
traditionalrivals Australia at 7pm.

Its not fastball but its a break from snow... and many
Polynesians involved in the sport of Fastpitch!)

Since the completion of "Fastpitch" the movie, I have been hard
at work on
another sports documentary. Because of the initial contacts at
ESPN with
"Fastpitch" (they are still interested in screening it on ESPN
Classic) I
have had strong interest in my new project since I "pitched"
it some 4 years
ago. ESPN purchased the film and it is finally ready to air.
I think the
Fastpitch community will find it of interest.

Here are the details:

2TEAM Entertainment is proud to announce the debut of Polynesian
Power:
Islanders in Pro Football, a documentary chronicling the ascent
of
Polynesians in American Football. The film is narrated by ?The
Rock? and is
scheduled to premiere on ESPN in February 2005.

The film chronicles the personal journeys of two Samoan athletes,
Pisa
Tinoisamoa and Isaac Sopoaga, and the cultural grounding that
defines their
individual pursuits of athletic glory. Produced and Directed
by Jeremy Spear
and Robert Pennington, Polynesian Power is a fascinating exploration
of
America?s diverse cultural base and the challenges of chasing
dreams.

Black Sox blast home 
Saturday February 5th 2005, 11:30am

The New Zealand Community Trust Black Sox have shown why they
are worldchampions this morning in the opening game of the day
in the EvodriveSeries at Rotorua.  

Taking on Japan in a game that was carried over from yesterday
when rainstopped play the Black Sox have defeated Japan 8-3.
When the game startedthis morning it was the bottom of the second
inning and the home side wasleading 1-0 but that advantage didn't
last long as Japan picked up threeruns in the top of the third
inning.

The strong hitting from Japan sent a shudder through the crowd
at RotoruaInternational Stadium as the Black Sox were put on
the back foot. Whilethe crowd may have had a few nerves there
were no such thoughts in theBlack Sox camp as they fired back
in the bottom of the third inning withinterest.

In a commanding performance the Black Sox put on an onslaught
of hittingpicking up seven runs as all the Kiwi batters hit the
ball hard andcaused errors in the Japanese field.

A feature of the third inning hitting from the Black Sox was
an automatichome run from the bat of Patrick Shannon over the
left field fence withtwo runners on base. 

Tane Richardson pitched the game on the mound for the Black Sox
todayreplacing Marty Grant who pitched the first two innings
of the gameyesterday. After a few early flutters in the third
inning as the Japanbatters picked up three runs Richardson took
control and refused them anyfurther chances.  

In another game completed this morning Australia have maintained
theirunbeaten record with a 8-3 victory over the All Stars. While
the scoreline looks convincing it was anything but with the sides
locked up at 3-3after regulation inning before Australia piled
on the runs in the firsttie breaker inning.

The Black Sox take to the diamond again at 2.15pm in the clash
of theunbeaten sides the Black Sox and Australia. 

Results Day 3 
New Zealand Community Trust Black Sox 8 Japan 3
Australia 8 All Stars 3 (tie breaker).

It appears that Nelson will join these twoteams in the semi finals

but the game between Papanui A and Royals will produce the other

Probably the best game of the day was between PCU and Nelson

Samoa upset Black Sox 
Saturday February 5th 2005, 11:45pm

Samoa has claimed their first ever victory over the New Zealand
CommunityTrust Black Sox late tonight at Rotorua International
Stadium with a 2-1upset of the world champions.
 
The victory for Samoa sees then qualify for the top three playoffs
in theEvodrive Series and they will take on Japan tomorrow at
12.15pm with thewinner of that game going on to play the Black
Sox in the 3pmfinal.

Tonight?s game against the Black Sox was a must win for Samoa,
if theyhad lost against New Zealand they would have dropped to
fourth and theirtitle chances would have been over. Instead Australia
and the All Starswill now be in the position of playing off for
fourth and fifthtomorrow.

Despite the loss tonight the Black Sox have won direct entry
through tothe final given their six win one loss record in the
tournament.

The victory for Samoa came via tight pitching from Heinie Shannon
andconsistent hitting. The Black Sox opened the scoring in the
bottom of thefirst inning when Thomas Makea scored on a sacrifice
fly by Donny Hale.

Samoa drew the scores level in the top of the second when captain
GusLeger came home on a double by Gene Lutton and then they went
ahead inthe top of the third courtesy of the home run over the
left field fenceoff the bat of Michael Niu.

Pitcher Heinie Shannon deserves a lot of the credit for Samoa?s
victoryas he kept under wraps the normally lethal Black Sox batting
line up. Hefaced 21 batters giving up five hits while taking
two strikeouts.

For the Black Sox it was a game where the bats just didn?t click
hitsthat would normally would go over the fence or find the gap
were insteadfinding the gloves of the Samoan fielders. 

Pitching for New Zealand Michael Gaiger started the game on the
moundfacing 11 batters and giving up three hits and two runs
while taking twostrikeouts before being replaced in the third
innings. Tane Richardsoncame on in relief facing six batters
for three strikeouts and one walk.

The results were not all bad for the Black Sox today as earlier
resultssaw them pick up three victories with wins over Japan,
Australia and theAll Stars.
On the back of the loss to Samoa tonight the Black Sox will have
a pointto prove tomorrow in the final as they take pride in their
successfulrecord and any loss doesn?t sit well.
   
Results Day 3 
New Zealand 8 Japan 3, Australia 9 All Stars 3 (tie breaker),

Stoney Creek Gators ( Masters ) Have Officially Folded

It is with great sadness that I announce that the Stoney Creek
Gators 
Masters Fastball Team has officially folded.
It was a great 6 year run for the Gators which saw them win the
2002 Ontario 
and Eastern Canadian Championships
followed by a silver medal performance at the 2004 Canadian Masters

Championship. The primary reason for folding
the team is based on the new rule changes introduced by the O.A.S.A.
for 
2005. I hope that other teams enjoyed
playing against the Gators as we strived to play very competitively
but also 
with great respect and camaraderie towards our
opponents. The Gators enjoyed some good friendly rivalries against
the 
Oshawa Ravens ( formerly Mickey Finns ) as
well as the Waterloo Classics and Colborne Rutherflo. The Gators
would like 
to thank Bob Litzen of Litzen's Source for
Sports for sponsoring the team for all 6 years. The Gators would
also like 
to thank former O.A.S.A. Secretary Dave
Reynolds for all his help as well as Al Doran for the great work
he does.
A special thanks to Jack Fireman for allowing the Stoney Creek
Gators the 
great honour of wearing the official logo
from the ( World Champion ) Toronto Gators.

Black Sox v Japan in Evodrive Series final
Sunday February 6th 2005, 3:00pm

Japan has defeated Samoa 4-0 this afternoon in the semi final
of theEvodrive Series at Rotorua International Stadium.

Today?s victory sees Japan go on to meet the New Zealand Community
TrustBlack Sox in the series final at 3pm. 

Japan picked up the win over Samoa via a combination of consistenthitting
and controlled pitching. Japan scored two runs in the firstinning
another one in the second and one more in the fourth. 

While the Japanese side were seeing the ball and hitting it well
theSamoan?s on the other hand were struggling to make it click
with the bat.Japanese pitcher Yokinori Nakashima was strong on
the mound pitching thefull game taking ten strike outs while
giving up just two hits. Samoa?sonly other runners to get on
base came from walks and fielding errors.

Samoan pitcher Heinie Shannon was also effective on the mound
but he waslet down by his team mates as errors in the field and
a lack of hittingsaw the Samoan side never really get into the
game. 

The Black Sox have already qualified for the final and have not
had toplay a game yet today given their number one ranking following
roundrobin play.

In round robin encounters between the Black Sox and Japan during
theEvodrive Series the home side have come from behind to take
victory onboth occasions. 

Finals will be broadcast live on TV2 12pm to 5pm 6th Feb 
as well as simulcast live over the Internet. - NZ Time

Black Sox claim Evodrive Series title
Sunday February 6th 2005, 7:00pm

A clinical display from the New Zealand Community Trust Black
Sox hasseen them take out the inaugural Evodrive Series with
a 6-0 victory overJapan in the final at Rotorua International
Stadium today.

The world champion Black Sox are renowned for their power batting
andwhile they didn?t demolish Japan in the final the home side
were alwaysin control of the game as they picked up one run in
each of the openingfour innings and then another two in the sixth.

While his team mates were doing the job with the bat Black Sox
pitcherMarty Grant was in command on the mound as he refused
the give theJapanese hitters any chances. 

With speed and movement Grant deceived the Japanese hitters as
he faced24 batters giving up just four hits while taking ten
strikeouts.

When the Black Sox claimed their third consecutive world title
inChristchurch last year Grant suffered the disappointment of
having towatch from the sidelines after an injury two days out
from the tournamentruled him out. 

Given those disappointments Grant had greater resolve going into
theEvodrive Series with a point to prove in front of a home crowd.
And provea point he did as he was strong throughout the series
giving up no runsin the four games he played picking up the top
pitcher award for thetournament.

After the game Grant was not surprisingly a happy man but was
quick todeflect any credit believing he was just doing his job
for theteam.

?Going into the series I just wanted to make sure I could represent
theteam well. I felt really good on the mound this week but it
is all justabout doing your job for the team,? said Grant.

While Grant had control on the mound his team mates had control
in thegame as they hit the front in their first at bat when lead
off hitterThomas Makea picked up a walk, stole second and then
scored on a hit by Patrick Shannon.

The Black Sox went further ahead in the second inning when Brad
Ronacrossed home plate and then scored again in the third through
Makeaagain. A big automatic from Donny Hale over the centre field
fence in thefourth inning secured the game for the Black Sox
as there was no way backfor Japan at 4-0 down.

There was no stopping the Black Sox though as they added another
two runsin the bottom of the sixth when Rhys Casley and Brad
Rona bothscored.
A feature of the Black Sox hitting was the pressure they put
the Japaneseunder in the field as the home side did the job with
the bat to advancetheir runners around the bases.    

The Japanese team tried to stem the flow of runs in the fourth
inningwhen starting pitcher Tatsuya Hamagughi was replaced on
the mound byKadataka Murasto. It had little impact though as
Donny Hale smashedMurasato?s first pitch over the centre field
fence. Murasato didn?t lastlong he was taken out of the game
in the top of the fifth inning replacedby Kunihiko Ida who pitched
out the game for Japan.
   
Japan won their way through to the final when the defeated Samoa
earlierin the day 4-0. Just like the Black Sox performance in
the final theJapanese side won their semi final with controlled
hitting and strongpitching.

Results Day Five - 
Final: New Zealand 6 Japan 0
Semi final : Japan 4 Samoa 0.

Hello Everyone - What a super day it is!
 
It's the middle of the afternoon here in Wisconsin on Super Bowl
Sunday..
 
I want to take this opportunity to announce that I have added
some interesting things to The Fastpitch Chronicle website at
http://www.fastpitchchronicle.com and you can check those things
out by going to the home page at that address. 
 
The new things include a separate message board page where fastpitch
fans can leave messages, respond to messages etc. and carry on
dialogue on the internet. The second feature is a separate page
of chat rooms. Fans can get together on the chat rooms and send
messages to each other instantly with that feature.
 
The Fastpitch Chronicle will be lining up reknowned guests who
will be available for chatter on the chat rooms at scheduled
times.
 
I will be on the General Fastpitch Chat room at 8 PM Central
Standard time on Monday night, February 7th. Several other people
will be there at that time as well. If you'd like to join us
for some fastpitch softball chatter, just click on that chat
room and log in.
 
The Fastpitch Chronicle will also be firing up some men's fastpitch
pitching clinics late this winter and into the early spring.
We will be holding at least two of them in Poynette, Wisconsin
and will offer video taping, still digital photography and a
few other features that will aid pitchers in their technique
and success. The Fastpitch Chronicle clinics are an entity of
their own and are funded by me and are free for all who attend.
They are strictly for male pitchers.

Rock Island, Illinios

Bill Van Dine passed away today after a long battle with cancer.  Bill held 
a distinction which will never be eclipsed. Bill played fastptich for 17 
seasons, including appearances in two world tournaments.  Known for his wry 
sense of humor and comical wit, Van Dine kept the sportswriters on their 
toes with his timly quips.  For NINE consecutive years (1961  1970) he was 
the tournament director (spelled "heart and soul") of the International 
Softball Congress World Tournament when event was held in Rock Island, 
Illinois.  He also served the ISC as Florida Area Commissioner from 1989 - 
1993.  He was inducted into the ISC Hall of Fame in 1992. Retiring in the 
late 1980's to the Sunshine State, Bill and his wife Marie moved back 
"home" to the northern Illinois.  Funeral arrangements and calling hours 
will be announced at a later date.

Wisconsin NAFA important announcement
By Mike White - April 16, 2005 via The Fastpitch Chronicle website 
<http://www.fastpitchchronicle.com>http://www.fastpitchchronicle.com

The 2005 WI NAFA State Tourney has been rescheduled for July 16-17 at 
Bowling Green Rec. in Middleton. It has been moved back one week due to a 
scheduling conflict. This was done in the best interest of holding seperate
tourneys for A and AA classes.

In an attempt to hold the best possible tournament, the AA will be an "Area 
Tourney". This means that out-of-state AA teams will be allowed to enter. 
The A will remain a true State Tourney for WI. teams only.

Entry Fee $185 + NAFA registration fee of $35 if not registered Double Elim 
Format Prize Money based on entries

From: "John G." <nativebackstop at hotmail.com>







My name is John Goombi (pronounced goom-bye) and I'm from Oklahoma.  We 
have an all Indian fastpitch team and are looking to broaden our game by 
hosting and playing upper echelon/level teams, be it with tournaments, 
round robins, etc.  We're excited about the elevating our game and the 
competition in our region of the country, but it's hard when we ca'nt get 
even just contact information to get started.  We have a couple of good 
facilities and municipalities that are willing to work with us to host 
events.  We have the facilities, the towns and officials to take the next 
step in strengthening the game...all we need is the teams.  Although there 
are a number of quality teams in this area, it would be nice to play 
different teams.  We played in the NAFA AAA and A Major tournaments last 
year.  Except for two of our pitchers unable to make it, we had a great 
time and had a lot of fun getting to know where we need to be, as a team, 
to compete at the next level.  With the exception of the Riversharks, we, 
at one time or another, had the lead in all of our AAA games.  Like I said 
earlier, all we want is to expand on what we've done in the past, but it's 
hard to do when we  play the same teams weekend after weekend.

If there's any way that you can help us expedite our endeavors, feel free 
to email me at 
<mailto:nativebackstop at hotmail.com>nativebackstop at hotmail.com or calling me 
at home;  405.247.8860

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

John Goombi

KITCHENER, ON

Kitchener Fastball Promotions has made arrangements for 200 suites to be 
reserved at Conestoga Residence and Conference Centre for the OASA Men's 
Senior/Intermediate Eliminations - July 29-August 1, 2005.

A special tournament rate of $69.95 plus applicable taxes provides a suite 
consisting of two double beds, bathroom & a kitchenette (microwave, fridge 
and sink).  All guest suites feature air conditioning, cable television, 
free parking and complimentary local calls.  Other available services & 
features include a complimentary continental breakfast, housekeeping 
service, and common social rooms.

Today we received a request from Conestoga Residence to release a number of 
these rooms.  There is a high demand for rooms that weekend due to the 
Annual International Invitational Minor Soccer Tournament being held the 
same weekend.

It is urgent that teams planning to participate in the OASA Eliminations in 
Kitchener contact Martha Johnstone (Regional Sales Manager) at 
1-877-225-8664 or direct at 519-895-2272 x 712 or via email at 
<mailto:mjohnstone at campuslivingcentres.com>mjohnstone at campuslivingcentres.com 
as soon as possible to reserve their rooms. A waiting list has already been 
established for the soccer event.  By April 30th KFP will need to consider 
releasing our rooms if interest is not shown by fastball teams.  Don't be 
disappointed!   Please pass this information along to any teams that you 
know may be planning to compete in this tournament.

Stars of the I.S.C. - - - - - - - - April, 2005

(A Tribute to the Past, Present, and Emerging Stars of the I.S.C.)

ED KIRNER - - - Man of Many Hats ? Many Talents ? Many Achievements

The dictionary defines the word ?Versatile? as:  Capable of turning easily 
from one to another of various tasks.  It defines the word ?Valuable? 
as:  Of considerable use, service, or importance.

Those two words might BEGIN to describe the career of one ED KIRNER.  Doubt 
it?  Just take a listen to some of roles he has filled in his long career 
with the sport of men?s fastball:

Start with player, coach, manager, general manager, team organizer and 
founder, umpire, league secretary, public relations director, editor (and 
publisher) of a softball newspaper, free-lance writer, publicity director - 
- -  plus the role of ISC Commissioner and the title as the ?longest 
serving President? that organization has ever had!.

And that is just for tasks he has performed for the sport of fastball!

Want more?  How about journeyman printer, fund-raiser, promoter of 
professional wrestling matches and of harness racing!!

And how about his role as a state finalist in the MILE RUN as a sophomore 
in high school!!

And Ed Kirner had a mighty hand in breaking the barrier which kept many of 
the nation?s top teams from competing in both ASA and ISC competition.

Not bad for a guy who endured heart trouble as a young man - - - troubles 
which cut short his playing career and re-directed his energies to - - - - 
- well, you can see the rest, can?t you?

Kirner?s nomination to the International Softball Congress Hall of Fame 
came from ISC pioneer Marv Casteel.  He was elected to the Hall in 1989.

In Casteel?s nomination of Kirner, he noted that, ?In 1980, through the 
efforts of Carrol Forbes, Ed Kirner, and Chuck Lockinger, Aurora Home 
Savings and Loan entered the ISC.  They became the first ASA team of 
national level competition to do so.  This opened the door and now nearly 
all teams play in both the ISC and ASA.?

Ray Anderson, a legend of the game for his longtime publishing of the 
Fastpitch Softball News Bulletin, observed of Ed Kirner:  ?I am in constant 
contact with teams and their PR people.  Whenever any media called on Ed 
for information about the Aurora team, Ed was quick to furnish it 
efficiently and quickly - - was a big help in the publicity for the game - 
- Ed is one of the best, if not THE best, in the game.  Fact is, if all 
teams had a PR man like Ed Kirner, the game would be much more prominent in 
the sports world.?

Dan Murr, then Sports Editor of the Aurora Beacon News, wrote a feature 
article focusing on Kirner.  Some of the career highlights which Murr 
mentioned included:

    * Associated with the sport since his graduation from high school (East 
Aurora H.S. ? class of ?51);
    * Secretary of the Aurora City League for seven years;
    * Associated with Hartman?s Supermarket team through eight city 
championship seasons;
    * Publicity/Public Relations Director for the Home Savings and Loan 
team beginning in 1973;
    * Publisher/Editor for 15 years of Grand Slam Fastpitch, a newspaper 
dedicated to men?s fastpitch - - each year spending three months selling 
ads, writing stories, and soliciting articles from teams across the U.S. 
and Canada - - with all profits going to help finance the Aurora team;
    * Raised more than $9,500 to help weather a financial storm for Ray 
Anderson and his Fastpitch Softball News Bulletin;
    * Developed the concept of a team ?Yearbook? in 1981; wrote all the 
contents; sold the ads, did the layouts and paste-ups, and sold the books 
to finance the Aurora team?s trip to Japan for that year?s Friendship Series.

When Dale Lancaster, former Sports Editor of the Aurora Beacon News, wrote 
a weekly column for the Kendall County Sentinel, he focused on the ?hats? 
which Kirner was wearing (or had worn) with such comments as: ?Ed Kirner is 
a man full of hats?.  Lancaster noted that Kirner had organized the May 
Jeweler softball team shortly after his high school graduation; had 
developed and supplied press releases for the Home Savings and Loan team 
to70 newspapers and broadcast media; and had been honored for ?Outstanding 
Contributions to Softball? by the National Associations of Softball Writers 
and Broadcasters on two separate occasions.

Ed Kirner has been involved with the I.S.C. since that memorable year of 
1980 and , as noted earlier, holds the distinction of serving as President 
for the I.S.C. for longer (12 years) than any other President.

Kirner was honored in 1992 by the Aurora Men?s Fastpitch Association as 
?Man of the Year? and was cited ?for Outstanding Contribution to Fastpitch 
Softball? - - certainly an award richly deserved.

Hats off to ED KIRNER - - - - Hall of Famer; versatile and valuable, a 
walking testimony to service to his sport and to the greatness of the sport 
of fastball!

Pre-Season International Softball Congress Team Rankings



<http://www.iscfastpitch.com/webstartme/tours/f2005.htm>http://www.iscfastpitch.com/webstartme/tours/f2005.htm


2005 Pre Season Rankings are here now! - - - they will spark lots of 
interest, and likely some pretty vigorous arguments!

What are they??? They are the annual pre-season rankings of the teams 
competing under the banner of the International Softball Congress.

With the season just around the corner, the ISC Team Ranking Committee is 
hard at work weighing all of the factors which will lead to their first 
ranking of the 2005 season.

The first (Pre-Season) ranking arrived today. During the course of the 
season, rankings will be done at least once per month, and likely more 
frequently during July.

ISC Executive Director, Ken Hackmeister, emphasizes that the final rankings 
in late July will determine the seeding for the ISC World Tournament. All 
teams are reminded that the ranking committee members, while very 
qualified, are at the mercy of information provided via Al's Fastball List 
and Al's Archives. The individual committee members do not have the time to 
search each individual teams web site for information and results. It is 
therefore strongly suggested that teams fully utilize Al's List for 
information about the team, the roster, the schedule, and the results.

All Tournaments Directors are reminded that in order to provide full 
service to your entered teams, tournament results should be sent out 
immediately upon the conclusion of each tournament.

The ISC Team Ranking Committee is comprised of 12 anonymous members with 
two alternates. Each is a qualified, knowledgeable individual who follows 
the sport religiously. Members include players, managers, commissioners, 
administrators - - both Canadian and American. The committee is a good 
cross section of fastball people.

In the four years of Team Rankings, the committee has been impressively 
accurate when comparing the final July rankings with the ultimate ISC World 
Tournament results. The ISC salutes them for their accurate work.

Subject: Ontario ISC II Top 10 Rankings


'Tis the season for rankings and here is the Ontario ISC II Preseason 
Rankings. As the name suggests, this covers teams that are eligible for ISC 
II play. Without further adieu, here they are:



2005 Ontario ISC II Preseason Rankings

1. Smully's Tavistock Merchants

Added power hitter/pitcher Mike Pinder and Shawn Brown to already strong 
lineup. How long will leadoff batter & sparkplug Dean Kaufman stay retired?



2 Harriston Mercury's

With Ryan Dilgee & Terry Martin in Elora, there's some holes to fill for 
last year's ISC II Champs. Joe German is signed on to back up Scott Smith.



3 Micksburg Twins

Have to be considered top seed at ISC II Qualifier in Blackburn with Corey 
& Shawn Costello.



4 Norwich Razorbacks

Signed Todd Winkworth, Ben Blonde & Drew Winger to go with ace Tim Neill & 
added Cory Winkworth plus a couple of sticks from East coast, but losing 
shortstop Jeff Konigshofer.



5 Palermo Athletics

Biggest beneficiary of slightly looser ISC II restrictions, reclassified 
veteran club is loaded with senior experience, especially with NAFA Hall of 
Famer Gord Scott on the mound.



6 Kanata Team Easton

Most of the former Kemptville Thunder players landed here including ace Dan 
Konkle.



7 Port Elgin Blue Devils

With berth to ISC II ToC already in their back pocket, BDs will be heard 
from in Chippewa Falls.



8 Bridgeport Braves

With decision to open up ISC II by a small degree, Scharr brothers will 
keep this team in contention.



9 Elora Rage

Picked up several players from Breslau, including Don Harris, Kevin 
Pomfret, Terry Martin & Greg Scheele to go with Ryan Dilgee, who is playing 
here and not in Harriston.



10  Niagara Snappers

Full-time additions of pitcher Dan Duemo & DH Jarrod Burtt will solidify 
Snappers' lineup and playing in ISC league provides solid experience.





Honourable mentions (alphabetical):

Alvinston Indians - Still looking for pitching to replace Drew Winger. Also 
lost Kyle Mitchell from ISC II roster, but veteran club is still competitive.



Aylmer Cardinals - Dan Beecroft & Ryan Cummings will keep Aylmer in every game.



Cobourg Stingers - Will be a threat to win the Blackburn qualifier with 
addition of Lyle Brown.



Glencoe Astros - If Shaun Winship is on form, Glencoe will be heard from in 
Innerkip. Added three starters from Shedden.



Hamilton Hawks - Apparently looking at ISC II for 2006, have added 
Newfoundland junior pitcher Lee Cose for selected weekends.



Highgate Rock - Added pitcher Jeremy Osbourne & catcher Bryan Depencier, 
but looks like Blonde is gone to Norwich for ISC II.



Jarvis Rock - Can hit with anyone. Big question: Is Dave "Farmer" Martin back?



Kingston Cowboys - Won Loughborough leage in 2004 and will be playing in 
Blackburn.



Mississauga Arrows - Could be tough if Chris McColl pitches full-time. 
Addition of Craig Walker & junior Drew Hathway for tournaments gives some 
pitching depth.



Stouffville Mennos - With Scott Evans they won Intermediate elims, but even 
without, they're very good.

Hi Al, Can you please post this info,

Ralph Trejo?s So Cal Bombers awed the fans at Santa Fe Springs with a

Tony Peeples pitched well down the stretch for the win, outdueling Rainey?s 
Bricklen Anderson.

Santa Fe Springs,California



The So. Cal. Bombers have signed Todd Garcia for the upcoming 2005 season. 
We have Todd for our West Coast Schedule and are still negotiating with his 
boss for our travels to Allentown and the ISC tournament. Todd will only be 
able to travel Fri-Sun due to work,and still be able to see his son when we 
travel to southern cal. "Being able to spend time with my son was a  big 
part of me wanting to stay on the west coast this year, plus a new job that 
would not let me travel as freely as I have in the past" Todd said 
recently. If its only for our west coast schedule or possibly more, the So. 
Cal. Bombers are excited to have the best catcher in the game today, in our 
dugout.

Ralph Trejo?s So Cal Bombers awed the fans at Santa Fe Springs with a 
prodigious display of power this weekend in SoCal ASA A/B league play, 
enroute to a perfect 5-0 record in SoCal ASA A/B league play. The Bombers 
defeated arch rival Team Rainey 4-2 Saturday afternoon, then pounded out 7 
home runs Sunday morning against the NorCal Mavericks ? including 3 in a 
row and 6 in one inning, and finished up the day with an 8-1 win over the 
?Young Bucks?, Clyde Bennett?s 23 and under team. Young Anthony Martinez 
(Amigos) looked strong in his season debut for the 23 and under ?Young 
Bucks?, against upper division competition, shutting out the Bombers for 5 
solid innings before the Bombers went to work in the final two frames.

Mike Butler homered for the Bombers on Saturday and Sunday, while Arturo 
Solano had two home runs in the 9am game against the Mavericks. Dan 
Winnick, Nate Devine and Jason Porto also got into the act, with homers for 
the Bombers on Sunday. Butler came up big Saturday against his former team 
(Team Rainey), hitting a solo home run to straight away center and making a 
spectacular diving foul line catch against Rainey to end an inning. In the 
?feature? game between the Southland?s top two teams, TeamRainey took a 2-0 
lead, but the Bombers scored a pair to tie it, and two more for the win, as 
Tony Peeples pitched well down the stretch for the win, outdueling Rainey?s 
Bricklen Anderson.

The Bombers have dropped only one game all year, to Castlewood Utah, in the 
Las Vegas Spring Swing tournament, which they avenged with two wins in the 
championship of that tournament, and have two tourney titles to their 
credit already, in Norwalk, and Las Vegas, and look loaded for bear as they 
head to Red Rock in two weeks.

Team Rainey bounced back after Saturday?s loss to the Bombers, with wins 
over the River City Rockers and NorCal Mavericks Sunday, to finish 4-1 on 
the weekend. Team Rainey?s new ace, Bricklen Anderson tossed a 3 hit, 3-0 
shutout over the Mavericks, with Ed Gaspar throwing well for the Mavs, 
yielding only two earned runs, and nothing after the third inning. The Mavs 
threatened in the 5th with runners at second and third before Anderson 
struck out the side.

Both the Bombers and Rainey will travel to St. George Utah in two weeks 
(April 30-May 1) for the Red Rock tournament. So Cal pitcher Mark Bennett, 
who pitched for his dad?s 23 and under team in Santa Fe Springs will join 
Portland CR/Adidas for Red Rock.

The River City Rockers and Raymar also competed in the weekend event at 
Little Lake Park,with Raymar picking up a win against the Young Bucks, 
while River City topped Raymar in their final game of the weekend Sunday 
morning. The Rockers have been a contender for the ASA ?B? National crown 
the past several years, while Raymar finished 3rd amongst 70 teams at last 
year?s ASA ?C? National, and were bumped up to the ?B? division under ASA 
rules, and competing at the A/B level for the first time.

Haarlem, The Netherlands April 23rd 2005

Game 1:

For AIMS EHS the Dutch competition finally started after rain outs the last 
two weekend. With temperatures up to 18 Celsius and a bright blue sky, 
conditions were perfect to play ball. EHS started well with two runs in the 
third inning when Anthony Beaumont who reached on a hit by pitch scored on 
a wild throw from the third baseman to first which ended up all the way in 
right field. Eti?nne Meijer who reached second base on the same error 
scored on a hard line drive to center field by first baseman Milton 
Gilbert. Two more runs were added in the sixth inning on a big line drive 
homerun by Jeffry Visser that also scored Ciro Ricardo.

Pitching for AIMS EHS was good old 46 year old Canadian (Richmond Hill, ON) 
hurler Glen Moreland. The strong all Antillian line up from Kokolishi only 
reached base twice on a lucky infield hit by Lionel Emerencia and a solo 
homerun by Gerald Dunlop

Game 2:

Game two started desastrous for AIMS EHS. With one out in the first inning, 
Kokolishi hit back to back homeruns by Gerald Dunlop and Julius Veeris. 
Pitcher Erik Zomerdijk was leaving his pitches too high in the strike zone 
and the boys from The Hague took advantage of that scoring another run in 
the third on yet another big homerun by Julius Veeris. Two more homeruns by 
Edson la Croes and Anthony Hooi did the job for Kokolishi. They scored 7 
runs on homeruns while AIMS EHS efforts all stranded in grounders and fly 
balls. The only memorable offensive action was a solo homerun by Milton 
Gilbert in the fourth inning.

Diemen, The Netherlands April 24rd 2005

With all rained out games being played today and with a shortage of umpires 
due to several reasons we were only able to play one game today. The second 
game of the scheduled double header will be played on Wednesday night May 
18th.

Game 1:

AIMS EHS started aggresive in the first game with the first run scored in 
the first inning by Erik Vrugt who reached base on a double to left field 
and was hit home by Eti?nne Meijer. EHS scored two more runs in the second 
by Enrique Javier and Anthony Beaumont on a single by Eti?nne Meijer. After 
the three runs in the first part of the game the rest of the hits were 
scattered and too many runners were left on base. TIW Survivors scored one 
run in the second after the runner should have been called out on a double 
play that everybody saw except the umpire. They scored two more on two 
errors in the third.

The international tie-breaker came in play when Glen Moreland shut down the 
side and AIMS EHS could not convert the changes they had. In the 
tie-breaker with two outs TIW put Enrique Javier on base with an 
intentional walk and pinch hitter Erik Zomerdijk hit a single up the middle 
which scored Ciro Ricardo. Both Javier and Zomerdijk scored on a double by 
Anthony Beaumont

shoo-in for the ISC Hall of Fame.  Jody lives in northern Virginia & thus 
he can travel out of 3 different airports:  DCA, IAD, & BWI.  So, if

Subject: Notes on a Scorecard at Red Rock




After a Broken Bow sweep of the Red Rock tournament in 2004, this year's Red
Rock title appears up for grabs.  After twenty four (24) games Saturday, an
"Elite Eight" emerged, and  head into a single elimination championship
bracket, while the other eight will compete in a consolation bracket.  Two of
the top four seeds were grabbed by Utah teams, who apparently play well with
home cooking, Larry Miller Chev and Castlewood.  Both finished the day with 3-0
records, as did the other two top seeds, Team Rainey from Southern California
and the High Desert Dawgs (FSR).   Page Brake also qualified for the
championship round, giving host state Utah three teams in the Elite Eight.

It was a day that started with a wild 17-10 game between Mexicali and
Castlewood. Castlewood trailed 10-2, but rallied for 15 runs, on a pair of
grand slam home runs.  Imagine -- from down 8 to up 7 in the blink of an eye.
The California Savala Painters, with the addition of Dean Holoein and Todd 
Budke
finished 2-1 on the day and earned a spot in the championship bracket today.
The highest ranked team in the tournament, the (#19) So Cal Bombers fell to the
High Desert Dawgs in their morning game 6-5, but rebounded to win two and a 
spot
in the Elite Eight by taking it out on their next two opponents, 9-1 and 10-0.
#20 ranked Team Rainey won three, including two with big Sonny Perkins on the
mound.  Perkins helped himself out with a 3 run homer in his morning game, and
came back to pick up a win in the nightcap, broadcast on ballparkradio.com, an
8-5 win over Page Brake, a game in which Chris Hunt homered twice, and drove in
4 with a pair of rockets, and Bricklen Anderson struck out 5 in the final two
innings for a save.  And speaking of two-home-run games, Rod Rainey proved the
shoulder surgery was a success, hitting two against DeMarini.  The doctor's
reports say he'll be ready to play by June.  Despite the loss to Rainey,  Page
Brake earned a spot in the championship bracket by winning their other two
games, including a 1-0 shutout over CR DeMarini, a game that determined which
of the two teams went to the Elite Eight and which one wound up in the
consolation bracket.   #21 ranked Pueblo Bandits struggled to an 0-3 mark,
though playing much better than the results indicated, and without the benefit
of one of their two Manley aces, Jeremy, who'll be on the DL until next month
with a strained tendon.   Pueblo dropped a couple of close games and could have
wound up in the championship round wtih a break here or there. Likewise, ISCII
#34 ranked River City Rockers, one of the teams that knocked off Pueblo, but
lost a crucial game to the Painters by one run.   Mexicali bounced back after
that 17-10 loss to win two and a spot in the championship bracket.  Vannelli's
of Minnesota was in every game, as you'd expect with Darcy Byrne and Blair
Ezekiel, but lost a couple close ones to Castlewood and Mexicali by scores 3-1
and 5-4, low scoring affairs compared to most other games.  They should be in
the hunt in today's consolation bracket.  Raymar, stepping up from the "C"
classification after taking third in last year's Nationals among 70 teams took
their lumps, but led in two of their three games and gave fans a look at some
promising young players, including pitchers Anthony Martinez and Gerald Pyle,
on loan from the Amigos and Rounders, respectively.   Todays' bracket pits
Mexicali against Rainey and the So Cal Bombers against Larry Miller, High
Desert vs. Page Brake, and the Painters against Castlewood.   Or to look at it
another way, Mexico vs. So Cal, So Cal vs. Utah, Arizona v. Utah and California
v. Utah.  However things shake out today, it will provide some exciting 
fastball
for fans at the Canyons Complex in St. George, Utah, and for those listening to
the 1pm semifinal and 3pm championship game on ballparkradio.com

Message-ID: <6.2.0.14.2.20050502234204.02469cd0@mail.pmihrm.com>



Woodstock, ON


While the past two weekends in Southern Ontario have been punctuated with 
snow, the organizing committee of the Legends of Fastball Classic are 
turning up the heat on preparation for the first major fastball event of 
2005. The  Legends Classic is scheduled for June 3, 4 and 5 at the 
Woodstock and District Community Complex ball park, and the quality of 
participating teams continues to grow.

Ontario has always been recognized for the unlimited stable of world class 
fastball pitchers it has supplied to major teams across North America. 
Three recent additions to the areas first jostle in June, includes not only 
returning world class pitchers but confirms what this province has always 
known, some of the greatest all round hitters and ball players in the game.

The Quaker River Sharks from Lebanon , Pennsylvania, the Kitchener Hallman 
Twins  and the St.Thomas Evergreen Centennials will bring fans a great 
combination of power from both the circle and the box, and a chance to see 
some of the best of local homegrown talent.

The River Sharks were a tremendous surprise at the 2004 ISC World 
Tournament and played their best ball of the season en route to an 11th 
place finish in Fargo. Their pitching staff includes Andy Jackson who can 
take the ball out of the yard as easily as his right arm can harness 
opposition hitters. Andy is no stranger to the area after a great junior 
career and a history of  success in the senior men's ranks. His partner on 
the River Sharks mound is another Ontario success story in lefty Paul 
Koert. He too parlayed a great junior career into the senior ranks, where 
he has won National Championships at both levels, most recently as a member 
of the Owen Sound Selects. Hopefully these two will keep the opposing 
offense in check, but they can also rely on some great run production from 
a nickels worth of Ontario power of their own. Speedster and center fielder 
Dan Loney will set the table from the lead off spot, and Pat Graham, Chris 
Shewfelt and Ryan Thompson will give opposition pitchers nightmares when 
they are all clicking. Perhaps the most underrated and explosive hitter in 
their lineup is John Brunton who was a mainstay in the old Selects lineup 
and a clutch hitter with men on base. The River Sharks Gm Bob Nydick and 
veteran coach Chip Savini are certainly excited about the opportunity to 
move up into the elite class of ISC teams in 2005, and kick start that ride 
in Woodstock.

The St.Thomas Evergreen Centennials are the host team for Canada's Sr. 
Men's Fastball Championship in 2005, and bring to the ballyard a lineup of 
veterans, and a chance for field boss Bill Horne to showcase his hometown 
team. While he may not have the services of  key players like Ryan Wolfe, 
Frank Cox, Butch Taylor, and the brothers O'Brien in Woodstock, he will 
have a lineup of household names that could spell success. Chris Payne, Tex 
Lessard, Chris Jones, Jeff Seed and Trevor Wardell were all starters with 
Horne as members of the Waterloo Twins. Jones, Seed and Wardell have all 
worn Canadian National Team uniforms will bring tremendous leadership to 
the Evergreen Centennials lineup. Outfielder Kevin Lynch and pitcher Ryan 
Cummings are promising juniors who will join the big club in Woodstock and 
hope for a chance to crack the final roster spots heading into the National's.

The Kitchener Hallman Twins are a definite threat to earn early season 
success in Woodstock. Their fortunes may well ride on the big right arm and 
powerful upper body of their newest roster addition for 2005, Todd Martin. 
After a number of years with the legendary Farm Tavern and prior to that 
his first ISC World Championship as a Tampa Bay Smoker, Martin has returned 
to Ontario and the Twins are happy he did. Martin will toe the rubber with 
hard throwing Don Scott and former Twin and Fedlock Falcon, Jeremy de 
Belleval. These three will give coach Doug Eidt some real options in 
pitching assignments, and will definitely make scoring against the Twins a 
lot tougher.

While the Twinkies have shored up their pitching staff, their offensive 
will continue to be bolstered by a solid group of veterans. Brian Stere 
enters his 16 season in a Twins uniform and has taken the greatest pitchers 
of his era out of the yard. Over the past few seasons he has moved away 
from his primary role as a DH , and assumed a much bigger role behind the 
dish. He earned All-Canadian catcher honours at the 2004 Canadian 
National's. Ironically 10 years earlier he earned similar catching honours 
at the ISC World's in Summerside.

A number of veterans will make scoring runs easy for the Twins, with Ronnie 
White, Dale Levy, Dave Bailey and Grant Baechler all capable of doing some 
big league damage to opposing pitchers. The real fire-cracker in the Twins 
line-up will be diminutive left fielder, Billy Simmons. One of the few 
remaining real fly chasers in the game , Simmons brings speed, high on-base 
percentage and surprising power to his own high intensity brand of 
fastball. He will be the catalyst for the big run innings and he will 
certainly race down any ball hit to his side of the diamond.

With previously announced ISC World Champion Broken Bow Spirit, the Midland 
Explorers, host Innerkip Eagles and Darren Zack's Six Nation Chiefs already 
committed, the River Sharks, Evergreen Centennials and the Twins have 
certainly made the Legends of Fastball Classic a 'must" stop on the summer 
tournament horizon.

The final tournament entries and the tournament draw is scheduled for 
release next week, along with the individuals who will be honoured as 
Legends of Fastball.

Tickets will be sold at the gate beginning Friday night June 3, at $5 for 
Friday night, $10 all day Saturday and $10 all day on Championship Sunday. 
A weekend pass will be available for $20 , and will include all 25 games 
throughout the weekend. The Legends introduction will go at noon hour on 
Saturday June 4.

  Twins Host "Highly Successful" Youth Clinics in Monkton.....


As part of our original tournament initiatives, the Kitchener Hallman 
Twins- in conjunction with the World Fastball Invitational, held a series 
of "skills" and "pitching" clinics for youths of all ages throughout the 
month of April in Monkton Ont.

The dedication and professionalism put forth by the Twins was greatly 
appreciated by the participants (and their parents!)

We are planning to host yet another youth skills/pitching clinic, the 
week-end of the World Fastball Invitational - and initial reaction has many 
"future stars" eager to take part and have a chance to spend time with some 
of the best mens fastball players in the world!!

A huge thank you to the Kitchener Hallman Twins!!!!!....well done!!

White Sox kick start off season schedule
Thursday May 5th 2005

A three day training camp this weekend for the New Zealand Community Trust 
White Sox will be a chance to prepare for a tough few months ahead with 
tours of Japan and North America.

The White Sox have had a busy programme in recent times with a home 
international series earlier this year and a tour of Australia in March. 
Next on the schedule is a one week tour of Japan next month followed by a 
trip to North America in late July.

Two separate squads have been named for the tours and White Sox coach Mike 
Walsh says the training camp this weekend will be a chance for everyone 
involved to plan for the upcoming tours.

?This weekend will be about preparation for both tours and going back to 
the basics. There were lots of things we identified on the Australian tour 
that did and didn?t work and it is time to put that into practice,? said Walsh.

Walsh believes constant international exposure like the two tours coming up 
are what the White Sox need if they are to improve and put in strong 
showing at the world championships in China next year.

The training camp this weekend at Rosedale Park, North Harbour will be the 
first taste of the White Sox for Lara Andrews of Hutt Valley and Amber 
Irving of Auckland. The two teenagers are yet to play a game for the White 
Sox but have been named in the team to tour Japan.

The White Sox tour to Japan in June sees them playing games against Chinese 
Taipei and two professional Japanese club sides. The late June trip to 
North America will see the White Sox competing in the Canada Cup tournament 
against international and club teams.

Looking ahead to the tours Walsh says the focus is obviously on winning 
games but the team will also take the opportunity to learn from playing at 
the top level giving them a better understanding of what it takes both 
offensively and defensively to be competitive and win against the best in 
the world.

Golden Horseshoe Fastball League
Southern Ontario

The first pitch in the 2005 season for the Golden Horseshoe Fastball League 
will be thrown tonight as the Waterdown Hammer take on the Waterdown 
Coyotes at Memorial Park in Waterdown.

The GHFL has expanded to 14 teams year, adding new teams in Niagara Falls 
and Waterdown.

With the addition of Chris Shewfelt, the Hamilton Hawks will be looking to 
defend their GHFL Playoff title in 2005 while ISC II ranked teams (#28) 
Niagara Snappers and (#30) Mississauga Arrows will be hard on their heels.

Niagara Falls Fury, with hard-throwing Scott Wagar, and perennial 
contenders St. Catharines Red Hot Chili Pepper, will be in contention, too.

The GHFL's Waterdown Hammer are travelling to Ohio for an early-season 
test. Last year, the Hammer defeated both the eventual ASA "A" and ASA "B" 
champions at the Elkland, PA tournament.

Up & coming team Waterdown Coyotes won two tournaments last year and will 
be looking to build on their success in 2005.

The GHFL will be split in two divisions of seven this year. Each team will 
play a home & home schedule within their division with a single game 
against the other division's teams for a 19-game schedule.

Tournaments run by GHFL affiliates include the highly touted Niagara 
Snapper Shootout June 3-5, featuring 8 of the top 30 teams from the ISC II 
Preseason Rankings; the 16-team Waterdown touranment June 10-12; and the 
annual Niagara Falls tournament August 5-7.

New GHFL member Smoke of Millgrove are running two tournaments this year: 
May 13-15 and Sep 30-Oct. 2 at their home park in Millgrove.

The GHFL Playoff tournament will be held Sept. 9-11 at Ker Park in Niagara 
Falls.

Ker Park will also play host to the GHFL All-Stars as they face the 
Australian Junior Men's team on Monday June 13 in a doubleheader. Plans are 
being finalized to have the games webcast through 
<http://www.ballparkradio.com>BallParkRadio.com. More details on this as we 
get closer to the event.

The GHFL is affiliating with the Ontario ISC II Home League program and 
will send a representative to the ISC II Ontario Cup tournament in 
Hillsburgh at the end of August.

Fastball fans can check out <http://www.ghfl.ca>www.ghfl.ca for schedules, 
scores and updates on the GHFL and much more.

Good luck to all teams and players for a successful 2005 season.

Cheers,

Subject: Red Rock Tournament - Panoramic Photo of Canyons Complex, St. George,
  UT

Thought we'd share a bit of Maddy's handiwork, a panoramic photo of the 
Canyons Complex at the Red Rock Tournament, taken last weekend in St. 
George, Utah.  It's actually three photos stitched together digitally, and 
gives you a better feel of the place.  Here's the link:

http://www.fastpitchwest.com/photos/2005/Red_Rock/RedRockPanorama.jpg

It's a high resolution shot, so if you're on dial up, be patient while it 
loads.  Most browsers will automatically "shrink to fit" the photo so you 
get the panoramic effect.   You can also view the photo in "full size", if 
you wish.
There are a few photos posted online (about a dozen or so at present), but 
we'll have the rest posted online over the weekend .

Sharon, ON


Fastball returning to Sharon

This season marks the return of high caliber fastball to Sharon. The Lake 
Simcoe Lightning have moved from Keswick to the East Gwillimbury Sports 
Complex North Diamond off Farr Avenue.

  Hoping that this year will be a successful year the Lightning will be 
welcoming back Brad Fogal. Fogal left last year to play with the Oshawa 
BB's an experience that led him to be selected to both the Team Ontario and 
Team Canada selection camps. Second year lightning player Jeff Hansen was 
also selected for the Team Ontario camp.

Returning to the Lightning again are 2 time all stars, Todd Hamblin, John 
Zeiger and Matt Osborne. Rick May who struck out 100 batters last year 
returns to the rubber along with Jay Nesbitt joining the team this year in 
a full time roll. Dean White, Brad Copping and Al Cox will patrol the 
outfield and Dave Smith will add youth up the middle at second base.

Chris Campbell will take over the reigns coaching the Lightning, replacing 
Bill Owens who retired at the end of last season.

With a new look and a new home the Lightning look to improve on last 
seasons success where they finished 4th at Provincials in Wiarton.

The season opens May 8th for the Lightning in Markham with the home opener 
scheduled for May 17th against their perennial rivals from Bradford. All 
home games are Tuesday nights at 8:30.

Kudos again to Ken Hackmeister, Roy Stout and Josh Olmstead for a job well 
done, and special cap tip to the City of St. George grounds crew, without 
whom the tournament could not have been played.  Though you can't tell from 
the photographs, the fields were under water just days before the 
tournament began, and their crew worked round the clock for 24 hours to get 
the fields ready for play on Saturday morning.

Congratulation to the California Painters, the reigning Red Rock champions, 
2005.

Hello fastpitch world.  As the 2005 season has begun and teams know their
plans for the season I'd like to remind the 23 and Under teams of North
America that the 23U North American Championships will be held from
July 15-17 at Circle Tap in Denmark, WI.  This is an excellent facility
that plays host to top notch events in one of the hotbeds of men's
fastpitch.  We've also negotiated room rates with the Amerihost Inn of
Green Bay for $55/night to make your stay as affordable as possible.
We've seen interest from many teams but would like this to be the best
turnout ever for this very important event.  Entry Fees are $250 U.S.  For
more information you can contact myself or John Goral,
lumpkin10 at hotmail.com, or Darren Derricks at  darrenderricks at aol.com
Entry Fees can be sent to:

Message-ID: <6.2.3.4.2.20050814121829.04c476e0@mail.pmihrm.com>

Saturday afternoon in the ball yard

Eau Claire, WI

4pm

You can't beat this.

75F, partly cloudy, light breeze, no humidity, and a perfect 
afternoon for a ball game in one of the most beautiful settings you 
will find anywhere.

The drive into this complex is similar to the one that takes you to 
Currie Stadium in Midland Mi, a park like environment, with lots of 
lush green trees and grass, ponds, a beautiful spot.

The Carson Park complex has lots to offer including good seating, 
especially on the main diamond. The press box is hard to beat, with 
room for teams of people like Gary Baughman, our stats man, and myself.

The ball has been very good so far with promises of a lot more to 
come and a mystery playoff scheme to be announced sometime next week. 
No, don't ask, I have no clue who plays who in the playoff round.

The umpires are well taken care of here, with a well-equipped change 
room in the stadium, complete with lockers and showers. And its true, 
Bob Henning is buying furniture at the local store; he must be 
planning to stay.

There are lots of concession stands and a small tent city that offers 
all the usual things one would expect at a world tournament. There is 
a very well stocked trailer offering tournament souvenirs, complete 
with silk screening if you want a special design or a special size made up.

There are lots of food choices and they look good. About the only 
complaint here at the 2001 World Tournament was the one about food, 
too expensive, not enough choices, and, not so good quality. Eau 
Claire has bent over backwards to avoid that complaint in 2005. There 
are several outlets here, and each has a wide variety of choices. 
Gary and I are working our way through the menu and so far Gary gives 
complete thumbs up to the cheeseburgers and I give similar thumbs up 
to the roast beef sandwich. Beware of the killer mustard; it has 
great horseradish in it. Their ham sandwiches are almost as good.
We will have more to day on that as the week moves on.

Almost overshadowing the ball play and most everything else is the 
situation with Darren Zack. I noted in my reports last night about 
the County Classic game that Zack was not here, and shared some of 
what I know about why he is not here. I said:




"A very sad note this evening, pitching great Darren Zack of Garden

River Ontario is NOT here.



Zack, on the County roster today when the teams registered, has been

cut from the team. He is not on the line up card tonight.

Zack is home in Garden River.



Up until today, at least two Wisconsin teams, hurting for pitching

help, had hoped to pick up Zack, but County reserved the right to

keep him on their roster.



This is indeed a sad day for fastball. So many wanted to see Zack

pitch again, he is the best known pitcher in the game and truly its

best ambassador."





To the best of my knowledge this information is correct. Over the 
past week and a half I have had dozens of conversations with the 
executive of the ISC and with Darren's family.



As has been reported to me, County told Darren very recently that he 
would not be one of their two pitchers at the ISC world tournament. I 
know he was disappointed, but he had hoped that County would provide 
a release or at least a conditional release to play for another team. 
Darren this year is considered a Wisconsin player due to his OOA 
status and if released, he could be picked up by a Wisconsin team if 
they could prove a hardship status.



The ISC became aware of this and did their utmost to encourage County 
to release Darren to play for a Wisconsin team.



I have not commented on the story that County tried to sell Darren 
off to the highest bid by a Wisconsin team. But since Bob Tomlinson 
included this in his story, I will admit that I had heard this from 
reliable sources. As Bob so aptly pointed out, this is within their 
rights to do so, or to at least try.



I guess what comes to mind next is what if a team from Wisconsin 
cannot afford their price? One would hope they would do the "right 
thing" for the game and make sure Darren could be at the WT.



A week ago I approached the team management of County Classics with a 
suggestion that they release Darren to one of the Wisconsin teams 
that could use his services. I already knew that the ISC executive 
would give reasonable and speedy review of any hardship case 
presented by a Wisconsin team. I did hear back from John Becker but 
not Mr. Sonnentag.

Subsequently I gave all the contact information on the team 
management of County to the ISC executive and I do know there were 
many conversations trying to encourage them to release Darren, even 
conditionally (like to the two local teams who could use him).

I had daily updates from several members of the ISC executive on 
progress or lack of it.



As noted in other fastball stories we have reported here, I 
acknowledge there are always two sides to every story. When I was 
trying to communicate with County last week, I was not getting their 
side of it, for whatever reason. I have offered John Becker to share 
their side of the story, if they care to share it here.



I have known John Becker and Tim Lyons for years, and have always 
considered them reasonable people. I do not know Mr. Sonnentag from a 
hole in the ground. I have it from his colleagues that he is as 
notorious for not finding the reply key on his keyboard as I am for 
hating the telephone.



The bottom line as of late Saturday afternoon is that Darren is not 
here, he is home in Garden River, Ontario, and very disappointed. His 
family is very upset about this, they know he lives for this game and 
they are aware that just about everyone who knows this game consider 
him its best ambassador ever.



As of this afternoon, Darren is still on the County roster, although 
he cannot pitch for them as they have used their two OOA pitchers in 
the tournament already.



That is what I know so far, and state that I am willing to share any 
reliable information on this story when it becomes available.



The fans here are very disappointed and that is almost all they are 
talking about.



Darren wishes he were here, I had a note from him this evening. He 
said he really misses the fans and he hopes to return next year.



Let's be straightforward here. I do work for the ISC and would not do 
anything knowingly that would hurt them. So far, all I have observed 
is a very positive reaction from the ISC on this case. They spent a 
great deal of time over the past week or so trying everything they 
could to resolve the problem, notably to try and convince County 
Classics to conditionally release Darren to another Wisconsin team, 
so the fans could get to see him in Eau Claire. I have no idea what 
else they could do.



Not the end of the story, I am sure.



Please remember, these opinions are mine and not those of the ISC. 
The information I post to my own web site is for the enjoyment of the fans.



 From Eau Claire.

Ellsworth homers Fargo, N.D. Knights

to opening two wins at ISC Worlds

By Pat Healey

EAU CLAIRE, WIS. - Jeff Ellsworth is making sure he leaves an 
impression on Team Canada coach Mark Smith and the 2005 ISC World 
Softball Championships here in Eau Claire, Wis.

Ellsworth hit two solo home runs Sunday to lead his Fargo, N.D. Kegel 
Black Knights to a 7-0 mercy-run win over Page Brake of Salt Lake 
City, Utah. The Alberton native also hit a towering three-run home 
run in a five-run second as the Knights opened the Championships 
Friday night with a 9-4 win over Patsy's of New York.

Smith, the Canadian Senior Men's team coach, is evaluating players 
such as Ellsworth and Steve Langley of Trenton, N.S. during the 
Worlds, which is the second phase in a three step process to 
determine who makes and doesn't make the Team Canada. The Senior 
Men's Canadians in St. Thomas, Ont. is the final step, with the team 
being named in October or November.

Sunday, the Alberton Recreation Director went 3-3 and did all his 
damage early in the first three innings going 3-for-3 as he hit solo 
home runs in the first and second and Darcy Byrne threw five 
scoreless innings of three-hit ball to earn the win. It gave the Jon 
Kegel-managed Knights some breathing room and a glance at finishing 
in the top two in their division and advancing to the playoffs come Thursday.

Ellsworth's first solo slam was a lead off home run as he led the 
game off with a bang before he doubled in the third driving home 
Adrian Brown and Peter Reimer.

Reimer (2-2, run scored, two RBI), Chad Boom (1-3, run scored, solo 
home run in the first inning) and Bjay Boom (1-2) led the way.

For Page Brake, Dave Sonneberg, Brandon Burt and Josh Putnam all went 
1-for-2 at the dish.

Byrne struck out 11 of the 18 batters he faced while Losing pitcher 
Mike Lorange walked three, allowed seven runs on eight hits and fanned two.

On Friday night, Ellsworth went 2-for-3 at the dish stealing a base, 
driving in three runs, being hit by a pitch and scoring twice as he 
led the attack,

Winning pitcher Steve Langley, of Trenton, N.S. was 1-3 with a run 
scored and an RBI, Duane Clarkson of Winnipegosis, MB. went 1-4 with 
two RBI and Peter Reimer of Landmark, MB. was 1-for-3 with a run 
scored, walk and RBI. All four will play with the Hitmen when they 
head to the Senior Men's Nationals at the end of the month in St. Thomas, Ont.

Tops for Patsy's was second baseman Travis Wilson (3-4, home run, two 
RBI, run scored) and Frank Degroat (2-3, home run, two runs scored).

Langley threw six innings of five hit ball allowing three runs- two 
earned - while striking out 11. Losing pitcher Marty Grant went the 
distance allowing nine runs ons even hits, and fanning eight.

Fargo sits first in Pool C at 2-0 and will also see action Tuesday at 
noon CST ( 2 p.m. ADT) against Canadian counterpart Jarvis Merchants 
of Ontario, who sits second at 1-0 heading into action Monday night. 
Their final round robin game is at 8 a.m. CST Wednesday morning 
against Guaranteed Air Freight of Vandalia, Il, who were set to play 
Page Brake at 8 a.m. CST Monday morning.

The top two pools - A and B - have spots secured in the playoff round 
as the top 10 teams in ISC rankings (who are in these pools) are 
secured a spot while the top two from the remaining pools C-H will advance.

Message-ID: <6.2.3.4.2.20050815154357.04ea09b0@mail.pmihrm.com>



As predicted before leaving home, we are not having a great deal of 
success in sending to our very large list of subscribers.

We have sent several reports from Eau Claire but we doubt if they 
have reached everyone.

All of our lists are now less than 100 people but we think they are 
being blocked or spooled off someplace by the provider we are connected to.

We have an excellent wireless connection at the ball park but sending 
email out seem to be a problem when there are more than just a couple 
of recipients.

We will continue to try and post to the List and at the same time 
will continue to post to Jim's temporary site while eScribe is down.

Please note we have no formal connection to eScribe and have no way 
of knowing when it will be back up again. Its a free site run by a 
volunteer who has a day job. He has not responded to my inquiries 
about when eScribe will be back up.  He is probably getting hundreds 
of inquiries.


Please note that our primary objective in Eau Claire is to update the 
ISC site and the ISC II site. So far we have had no problems updating 
the information, the connections here are good.


Watch:

ISC:    http://www.iscfastpitch.com/webstartme/world.htm

ISC II: http://www.iscfastpitch.com/webstartme/tours/2005world/isc2/main.htm

Eau Claire, Wi

Jarvis Merchants doing well in Eau Claire Wisconsin.

This is their first trip to the International Softball Congress 
annual big show, the World Tournament, this year being held for nine 
days in Eau Claire Wisconsin. 38 of the best club teams in North 
American and two from Europe are meeting where the clear water flows 
for nine days to determine who has the best men's team in the world.

Jarvis, with many players just a year or two out of junior qualified 
for this annual tournament back in Ontario along with the Kitchener 
Hallman Twins and the Innerkip Bright Cheese House Eagles, all fellow 
members of the Schneiders I.S.C. Alliance, Travel League of Eastern Canada.

Driving all the way from home, through Chicago at high noon, the team 
got here on Friday just in time for to register and attend the 
manager's meeting where their coaches learned some of the rules 
associated with the tournament.

In their first ever game in a world tournament, on Saturday at 
4:00pm, the young Jarvis team met an experienced team from New York, 
NY, aka Massapequa, NY, who until recently had been a modified 
softball team. A modified team of some renown who had picked up a 
couple of world class fastball pitchers to augment their seasoned 
position players. Patsy's has Marty Grant from New Zealand. Grant has 
been on a couple of gold medal wining ISF teams with the NZ Black 
Sox. Other pitchers include well known Robbie Scheller, a sometimes 
modified, sometimes fastball pitcher; Reno Lata, Darren Rae, and 
Heinrich Shannon, another Kiwi fastball pitcher.

Jarvis scored early on Patsy's in their world tournament debut, 
putting one run in the second and three runs on the board in the 3rd 
inning. They added an insurance run in the sixth inning, which turned 
out to be the winning run as Patsy's came on strong and brought in 
bottom of the seventh inning. What a surprise, the new kid on the 
block had won their first ever game at a world tournament. Scott 
Wagar got the win for Jarvis, with young flame thrower Andrew Phibbs 
getting the save. Rob Scheller went the distance for Patsy's. Mark 
Colemen, who plays right field for Jarvis started things off in the 
second inning with a solo home run.

In the third inning, a lot of hard work and a little bit of luck, 
equaling a lot of hard work, produced three un answered runs to make 
the score 4-0 after 3 innings. Capitalizing on a hit batter, a single 
by Greg Courneyea, two wild pitches, a single by up and coming short 
stop Ian Fehrman and a single by the most seasoned veteran 2nd 
baseman, Adam Smith, the team found themselves with a 4-0 lead.

A double play wiped out the hard work of Courneyea and Fehrman who 
had each singled, but again veteran Adam Smith to the rescue with a 
solo home run.

Patsy's scored 3 in the 7th but when it was over, the rookie Jarvis 
Merchants found themselves winning their first ever world tournament game.

On their second outing, the team had all the confidence in the world. 
They met Vandalia, IL, The Freight. Monday night at Eau Clair's 
Carson Park, Jarvis fought all the way, getting two runs in the 
second inning and some more comfort with a single run in the fourth. 
They held Vandalia scoreless all the way and in the 7th inning Jarvis 
came on like gang busters and added 8 more runs for a 11-0 win.

Young ace Andrew Phibbs went the distance on the mound for Jarvis.

Fehrman and Smith each contributed each, 2 hits, 2 runs, and 3 RBIs. 
Each had 5 at bats.First base Adam Robinson added 1 hits, 2 runs and 2 RBIs.

The team are now 2-0 and play again at noon on Tuesday against the 
highly regarded Fargo ND, Kegal Black Knights.

Hallman Twins now 3-0 at World Tournament and 
Todd Martin throws Near Perfect Game


Eau Claire Wisconsin

Monday,

The Kitchener Hallman Twins made the long trip 
from Ontario to Eau Claire Wisconsin along with 
three of their fellow member teams of the ISC 
Travel League of Eastern Canada. Making the trip 
were The Six Nations Chiefs from Ohsweken.ON; The 
Innerkip Bright Cheese House Eagles, and the Jarvis Merchants.

The Hallman Twins have made the trip many times 
before, in various versions of the storied team. 
This year is an important one for them as next 
year they will be the host team for the 2006 
version of the ISC World Tournament. They want to 
make an impression and attract fans to their fair city next August.

The Twins started off the tournament as co-first 
game participants, Friday afternoon at 4pm. Their 
opponent was the Czech Republic National Team, a 
team they hosted in 2002 when Kitchener first 
hosted the ISC World Tournament at the Peter Hallman Ballyard.

Kitchener won that game 8 ? 1 in five innings. 
Todd Martin pitched for the Twins, giving up only 
one hit and one run. Kitchener got 8 runs on 9 
hits and they were scattered around amongst a 
number of players but it was left fielder Billy 
Simmon?s birthday and he got the lion?s share 
with 2 hits and 3 runs. Billy also walked and 
stole a couple of bases. All with only two at bats in the short game.

Centre fielder Dale Levy also had a good 
afternoon with 2 hits, 2 runs, and 4 RBI. 1st 
base Ron White also added 2 hits and 2 RBI.

The Twins were off to a good tournament.


The Twins got their second test at high noon on 
Saturday against Brandt?s of Springfiled, 
IL.  Don Scott got the start for that game and 
the 12 ? 0 win in five innings. The hits were 
shared around but Ron White led the charge with 
six RBI on his 3 hit, two run afternoon.


Tonight, Monday night, the Twins got their most 
serious challenge to date. They were on the late 
night bill scheduled for 10pm on diamond one against Team Rainey of
Whittier California. The game did not get started 
until just before midnight thanks to a number of very long games ahead of them.


Todd Martin got the start and did he ever go the 
distance. He gave up no runs, only one hit and he 
struck out a record (tie) 20 batters. The Twins 
did not exactly have hot bats this evening but 
they got the hit that mattered, in the bottom of 
the 7th inning. Third base Derek Shackleton got 
the game-winning hit that drove in the winning 
run. Levy struck out swinging. Stere singled. Daer pinch ran

for Stere. White grounded out to p; Daer advanced 
to second. Shackleton singled, RBI; Daer scored. 
1 run, 2 hits, 0 errors, 1 LOB.



The Twins next game in Tuesday at 10am against 
the North Americans of Oklahoma City.

Art Gillis and me
-
As I sat watching the game between the Midland Explorers and the Fargo IS
Knights from the home plate bleachers the other day, I noticed Art Gillis
and my dad watching the game from one of the VIP tents on either side of
the bleachers at Gelein Field in Eau Claire.  Art?s son, Doug, was
throwing a gem of a ballgame to that point and anyone who has ever been
around Art during one of his son?s games knows that Doug?s intensity on
the field is probably only matched by his fathers.  After a couple innings
I couldn?t resist but wander down with my fianc?, Shelly, and sit with Art
and my dad, and to get Art?s pitch-by-pitch reaction to the happenings on
the field.

Anyone who has ever had the chance to talk with Art Gillis knows why he
always draws softball?s finest players, coaches, sponsors and fans to his
presence.  His more than 80 years of life experience includes more than 65
years of fastpitch softball stories from his days as a player, manager,
and sponsor.  They are stories with an edge ? stories everyone likes to
hear over and over.  In fact, many of the stories begin with Art?s
admission, ?I might have told you this one before.?  Still, in the hours
I?ve been around Art, I?ve never witnessed a single instance of a listener
stopping him because they had already heard the tale.  Everyone is content
with hearing the stories another time.

As I walked into the park on that afternoon, shortly after showing the VIP
pass I was given for my new position as Pitching Clinics Administrator to
the ticket-taker, I saw Art slowly pacing behind the third-base bleachers.
  When he saw me he told me his mission was ?to find some bananas.?
?Really?? I asked.  ?Yeah ? leg cramps like you wouldn?t believe,? he told
me.  Let me just say I was relieved to finally see that he had found a
comfortable chair in the shade.

You can imagine my dismay when one of the younger World Tournament workers
came over and booted Mr. Gillis out of the VIP tent for not possessing a
VIP pass. (To the worker?s defense, in hindsight, he didn?t know who Art
Gillis was and he was probably instructed to do what he did, though
hopefully more prudence will be exercised in the future.)  It was an
embarrassing situation for the tournament hosts because only 10 or so of
the 50-60 seats under the tent were full when this situation came up.  It
was an embarrassing situation for me after spending five minutes telling
the gentleman that he was out of line for making a stink about the VIP
passes in front of my new colleagues at the ISC.  It was embarrassing for
Art Gillis, who just wanted a comfortable spot to rest his legs and watch
his son throw a great ballgame without being in the middle of any trouble.

I?ve never been a fan of anything with the letters ?VIP? on it.  This was
the first time I received a VIP pass since the late, great Bob Welby asked
me if I had a pass to the tournament about 10 years ago (when I was a
wide-eyed ballplayer witnessing the tournament for one of my first times)
and when I told him I didn?t he promptly pulled a VIP pass out of his
pocket and handed it to me to use the rest of the week.  And even with my
new position I don?t feel worthy of being regarded as an important person
(though I must say that there are a lot of people in the ISC that work
like crazy all year and deserve that recognition 100%).  My point being
that I did not sit in the specially allotted seats because I had a VIP
pass.  I sat in those seats because one of the most important people in
the park on that afternoon sat in those seats without one.  I sat there
because that is where Art Gillis was.

I apologize to anyone who was offended or inconvenienced by my outrage on
that afternoon.  At the same time, I encourage anyone who witnesses such a
situation in the future to, more politely, ask that a softball legend be
excused for at least a few more innings before being uprooted from his
seat.  It is because of people like Art Gillis ? a man who claims there
are a lot of people who don?t like him, though evidence of that is nowhere
to be found ? that fastpitch softball is what it is today.  That is why
you will see everyone from Denny Bruckert to Jody Hennigar make sure they
have at least a few minutes with Art over the course of the best nine
softball days in the world.

And so I leave you with this question, without regard to a piece of paper
either of us has in his pocket:  Art Gillis and me -- who is the VIP?  I
think we all know the answer to that one.

JRW & Associates are 1-1 in Pool Play at ISC II ToC

Casper Park, Chippewa Falls, WI ...At the International Softball Congress II
Tournament of Champions, JRW & Associates of Yakima, WA are 1-1 after two
days of pool play.

In Game 15, the Associates beat Galena, IL Keg and Cask Liquor in a 5-inning
mercy game, 7-0. Galena's ace pitcher, Larry Timpe, and only regular pitcher
took a batted ball off his right pitching elbow in the third inning and had
to leave the game. Larry is probably finished for the tournament. (Dream
Seams, anyone ??)

JRW SS Paul Reyes had a three run homer and a two run homer to lead the 11
hit effort. CF Tim Fischer was 3 for 3 with one run scored and one RBI.

JRW Pitcher Dave Drotzmann threw a perfect game for 4 innings. When the
leadoff batter in the 5th singled, Matt Barnes relieved for the first two
outs of the 5th and Travis Kraft struck out the last batter to end the game.

In Game 30 against the two time defending champions Harriston, Ontario
Mercury, JRW pitcher Matt Barnes was called for several illegal pitches and
allowed a single earned run in the first inning. A two out throwing error by
JRW in the 4th inning allowed two more Harriston runs to score for a 3-0
lead. In the 5th inning, Harriston loaded the bases on a single and two hit
batsmen by Matt Barnes. Pitcher Dave Drotzmann relieved and ended the inning
without any Harriston scores with two groundouts and a strikeout.

In B6, JRW catcher Troy Grow reached on an error, advanced to third on LF
Dave Carlton's single, then scored on 3B Kasey Knight's infield ground-out.
Harriston's Shaun Winship relieved and struck out the side in B7 to preserve
the 3-1 victory.

Fenelon Falls, Ontario

Bobcaygeon Jermyn Lumber continued their winning ways and have run 
their season record to 15-1.

The last two games have seen the squad score consecutive last bat victories.

On August 09, Sports Lettering Co. held a 5-1 lead over the Lumberman 
going into the bottom of the seventh. Hard throwing Dave Lembke came 
in for to nail down the victory but never recorded an out as Jermyns 
bats finally came alive. Jason Scarlett (batter) and Aaron Jermyn 
(runner on third) executed a perfect suicide squeeze to seal the 
victory for Bobcaygeon. Dave Taylor earned the win throwing a 
complete game for Bobcaygeon. Dave Lembke was tagged with the loss.

On August 14, Woodville was leading 5-3 going into the top of the 
seventh. Jason Scarlett hit a three run shot to give Bobcaygeon the 
6-5 lead. Woodville loaded the bases (two intentional), but Dave 
Taylor came up with two big strike outs to finish out what was an 
exceptionally well pitched game. Taylor finished with 16 Ks to keep 
his perfect record intact.

With three games remaining Jermyn Lumber has locked down 1st place.

Pitching for success
Wednesday August 17th 2005

Having achieved at the highest level on the diamond former White Sox 
pitcher Debbie Mygind is now taking on the challenging position of 
National Pitching Director for New Zealand Softball.

Mygind played for the White Sox for 11 years and spearheaded New 
Zealand to victory at the 1982 World Championships pitching the 
final. She also had a successful career in America undertaking a 
scholarship with Cal State University, Fullerton where she studied 
physical education.

After time away from the sport Mygind says she is excited by the 
prospect of getting back into the game and developing future world 
championship winning pitchers for New Zealand.

"It is good to give something back to the game, I have been away for 
a little while but still have a great passion for softball. Sitting 
back and watching the 2004 World Championships as the New Zealand 
Community Trust Black Sox claimed a three peat of titles has inspired 
me to want to get back into the game," said Mygind.

The 44-year-old pitcher says the role of National Pitching Director 
was an opportunity she couldn't turn down.

"To have a full time job coaching pitching is too good to be true. 
Pitching is a subject  I know a lot about but I am also keen to learn 
more. My experience from having played in the States especially has 
taught me a lot, I know how the Americans train and how to prepare as 
a pitcher."

Mygind describes the position of pitcher as one of huge pressure both 
physically and mentally and she believes success in the role comes 
down to preparation which is something she will be looking to 
emphasise to young pitchers coming through the grades.

New Zealand Softball National Coaching Director Naomi Shaw believes 
Mygind will be a valuable asset to the national body's coaching staff 
with her wealth if experience unbeatable.

"Debbie can walk the talk, her record speaks for itself. The position 
of National Pitching Director is a very specialist one and you have 
to have someone in there with a lot of credibility. Debbie has a lot 
of experience and her time in the American college system is a huge 
plus for us," said Shaw.

A key aspect of the role of National Pitching Director is one of 
coaching the coaches to ensure young pitchers from all around the 
country are learning the right techniques and systems. Mygind will 
interact with coaches at all levels, including those with the New 
Zealand Community Trust White Sox and Black Sox sides along with 
their junior counterparts.

Mygind takes over the position from NZCT Black Sox pitcher Marty 
Grant who Shaw says has put in place some really good initiatives for 
the incoming Mygind to build on.

Fargo lays the Boom on Jarvis at ISC

Worlds; secure first in pool

By Pat Healey

EAU CLAIRE, WIS. - Jeff Ellsworth continued his hot hitting while 
getting some help from another hot hitter in Chad Boom as the Fargo, 
N.D. Kegel Black Knights secured first place in Pool C with a 5-0 
blanking of Jarvis, Ont. Merchants Tuesday morning.

Ellsworth was 2-for-3 with a run scored, hit a leadoff triple to open 
the game and an RBI, while also being walked to load the bases.

But above Ellsworth's accomplishment was that of home run power 
hitter Chad Boom, who smacked a solo home run in the third inning 
while driving in another run later to end the game with two RBI and 
two runs scored.

In three games to date, the Alberton recreation director is having a 
phenomenal Worlds hitting 7-9 with three home runs, nine RBI and five 
runs scored.

Other top batters were Eric Lewis (1-1, RBI) Bjay Boom (1-3), Peter 
Reimer (1-4 run scored) and Nathan Geisbrecht (1-3).

For Jarvis, Ont., Tax Lessard (1-3), Adam Smith (1-3), and Brad 
Robinson (1-3) led the way.

Winning pitcher Steve Langley went the distance allowing five hits, a 
walk and striking out 11 batters. Losing pitcher Andrew Phibbs went 
four innings giving up five runs on seven hits, walking three and 
fanning six.Scott Wagnar pitched three innings in relief, allowing 
two hits, a walk and striking out three.

The Knights will try to end the round robin portion with a perfect 
4-0 record when they face winless Guaranteed Air Freight of Vandalia, 
Il., who were beaten handedly by Jarvis Monday night 10-0, in an 8 
a.m. CST (10 p.m. Atlantic) game Wednesday morning.

JRW & Associates drops Extra Inning Game in Pool Play at ISC II ToC

Casper Park, Chippewa Falls, WI ...At the International Softball Congress II
Tournament of Champions, JRW & Associates of Yakima, WA are 1-2 after three
days of pool play.

JRW dropped an extra inning game to a scrappy bunch from Wasau, WI as Rep &
Baja rallied for 3 runs in the B8 to secure a 4-3 victory. Rep & Baja are
now 2-1 and JRW & associates drops to 1-2 in Pool play.

JRW LF Dave Carlton homered to lead off the top of the second for a 1-0
lead. Several outstanding defensive plays by the JRW fielders kept R & B off
the board. CF Tim Fischer crashed over the fence for a catch to save a home
run. SS Paul Reyes dove in the 2B hole for a grounder and threw the
batter-runner out from his knees. In the 8th Paul again dove in the 2B hole
to keep a grounder from going thru and preventing the runner from second
scoring.

JRW pitcher Dave Drotzmann had 9 strikeouts thru the 5th inning, but walked
Rep & Baja 3B Bryon Harris with two outs in the 6th inning. Byron scored the
tying run as the result of two infield fielding errors.
In the T8 under the International Tie-Breaker (ITB) rules, JRW scored two
runs on CF Tim Fischer's RBI single and pinch hitter Matt Barnes' ground out
that was errored.

In the B8, Rep & Baja scored a run on R & B Catcher Brad Ceranski's single
after the ITB runner was thrown out at the plate. The next batter was
intentionally walked and Pitcher Matt Barnes relieved Drotzmann. R & B pinch
hitter Steve Ackerson hit a looper into RF and two runs scored before the
right fielder could get the ball to the plate, giving R & B the 4-3 victory.

JRW pitcher Dave Drotzmann had 10 strikeouts and 4 walks while WP Jay Wilder
had 8 strikeouts and no walks.

JRW now must beat McKie Sports of Lake Oswego, NY 2004 ASA National
Champions, at 2 PM Thursday in their 4th pool game to make the playoffs.

Four Elected To the I.S.C. Hall Of Fame

            A pair of left-handed pitchers, a 
nimble shortstop, and a sponsor of an ISC World 
Champion team and host of an ISC World Tournament 
were elected to the International Softball Congress Hall of Fame.




Ed Klecker of California was an outstanding 
pitcher who led the Lakewood, Ca. Jets to the 
World Tournament title in 1973. In that event he 
was an All-World selection. He was also the 
tourney?s ?Outstanding Pitcher? and the ?Most 
Valuable Player? of the tourney which was held in Rock Island, Illinois.


Klecker was also an All-World tournament pitcher 
in 1972 and again in 1974 with the Lakewood Jets. 
In both the 1972 and 1973 World Tournament, he 
lead all hurlers with the most strikeouts.




Brad Underwood of Ontario was a dominant 
left-handed pitcher who was four times an 
All-World Tournament choice while throwing for 
Canadian Tire of Owen Sound, Ontario, and All Car 
of Green Bay Wisconsin. In the 1991 and 1994 
World Tournaments he was selected as the event?s ?Outstanding Pitcher?


In the 1991 World Tournament, Underwood turned in 
a performance for the ages when he beat defending 
champion Seattle 2-1, threw a perfect game 
against Aurora, tossed a 22-inning 1-0 shutout 
over Santa Rosa, and blanked Sioux City for nine 
innings in the championship contest ? all in the span of 32 hours!

Greg Sepulveda of California was a splendid 
shortstop. He starred with several teams but was 
at his best while earning All-World tournament 
laurels in both 1984 and 1985 with the Lancaster, California Chameleons.

Sepulveda?s talents led the Chameleons to a 3rd 
place World Tournament finish in 1984 and to the runner-up spot in 1986.

Art Gillis of Michigan holds the unique 
distinction of having captured an I.S.C. World 
Championship (1979) as sponsor of the Saginaw, 
Michigan, Bolters and also having served as the 
host and sponsor of an I.S.C. World Tournament. 
The latter event, played in 1981 in Saginaw, is 
believed by many to have been the greatest World 
Tournament in the proud history of the 
International Softball Congress. Gillis was the 
first ever Michigan I.S.C. commissioner. He also 
served later as an I.S.C. commissioner in Florida.

These four men, heroes to followers of fastball, 
will be inducted into the ISC Hall of Fame in 
August, 2006 during the World Tournament in Kitchener, Ontario.

The Pier, Alberton Pharmachoice named division

sponsors for Bantam Girls Eastern Canadians

By Pat Healey

Media Communications Officer/statistician

2005 Bantam Girls Eastern Canadians

ALBERTON - A pair of West Prince business continue to follow the lead 
of the Tignish Credit Union in being involved in major sporting 
events in their community, by coming on board as division sponsors 
for the 2005 Tignish Credit Union Bantam Girls Eastern Canadian 
softball championship.

The 12-team, four day event is set for Aug 25-28 and hosted by the 
hometown West Prince Cavendish Produce Athletics and Summerside 
Stringers, who finished in third at the provincials held last weekend.

On Thursday, co-chair Allan Clark announced the finalized details 
that Greco/Capt Sub has come on as the Player of the Game sponsors 
for both squads, the home and visiting teams for all 35 games. He 
thanked owner Duke Cormier for his pledge of support for the tournament.

Meanwhile, Clark also said as far as the two divisions, with six 
teams in each one, that the Northport Pier and Alberton Pharmachoice 
have come on to sponsor the divisions generously.

"These two business coming on board show just how involved they are 
in their community, with events such as this magnitude," he added. 
"Coming on board as a division sponsor is a big commitment for these 
local businesses and we're sure the teams will thanks them by showing 
up at their business while they are here."

In the Northport Pier division, the co-host Summerside Stingers will 
lead the way, followed by P.E.I. women's Canada Games star Charley 
Johnson and the Cornwall Cougars, Au Ptit Mousse Penisule Acadienne 
(N.B. 2); Sud Ouest (Que. 1), Nova Scotia runner up Dartmouth 
Diamonds (N.S. 2) and Ontario champion Ancaster Cyclones (Ont. 1).

The Alberton Pharmachoice Division will consist of the Host West 
Prince Cavendish Produce Athletics, Kingston Kobras (Ont. 2), 
L'Express du Laval (Que. 2), Judique Celidh Royals (N.S. 1), 
Madawaska Chaleur (N.B. 1) and Cardigan, P.E.I's fourth entry at the 
tournament.

berth by crushing Alberta 9-0 in a game that 
lasted only 5 innings due to the 7 run mercy 
rule

JRW & Associates loses 1-0 Squeaker to Fisher Group in Playoff

Casper Park, Chippewa Falls, WI ... At the International Softball Congress
II Tournament of Champions, JRW & Associates lost a tough one, a 1-0
squeaker to Fisher Group of Mankato, MN Wed evening in their first game of a
24 team single-elimination playoff.

JRW pitcher Matt Barnes and Fisher Group's Troy Glaubitz locked up in a
classic pitcher's duel. Although each pitcher only struck out 3 batters, all
10 hits in the game were singles. Neither pitcher gave up a walk.
In the T4, Fisher Group LF Bret Rabenhorst singled, stole 2B, advanced to
third on a WP and scored on a perfect suicide squeeze by 1B Brian Swanson
for the lone run of the game.

Six different JRW batters had one hit each. Two JRW runners reached second,
while a third runner reached 3B. He was thrown out at the plate when catcher
Chad Ostermann quickly recovered his passed ball and relayed it to Glaubitz

Wyevale Tribe Starts Play-Off Run On Good Note



The Wyevale Tribe after receiving a bye into the semi-finals by 
virtue of their first place ranking during the regular season opened 
up the play-offs with a 3-0 win over the visiting Toanche Eagles.



The Tribe scored all 3 runs in the 2nd inning on a 3 run homerun by 
Graham McNabb.  McNabb with 2 out and 2 strikes, took the Foster 
offering over the centrefield fence to provide the Tribe with all of 
the offence they would need on this day.  The Tribe offence showed 
the effects of a nearly 4 week layoff as they stranded runners in 5 
of the 6 innings, and 9 in total.



Not showing any rust from the down time was pitcher Jason Giffen who 
went the distance and earned the victory.  Jason took a no hitter 
into the 7th, when with two outs gave up an infield single to break 
his bid for the no no.  Jason stuck out 14, walked 1, and gave up 
just the one hit in the complete game shutout.



Game 2 of this best of 5 series will take place in Toanche on Monday 
August 22 at 8:30PM.



In other SRFL action, Minesing knotted their series at 1 game a piece 
with a 10-5 victory over Vasey.  Vasey won game 1 2-0 in tightly 
contested affair.  Minesing and Vasey met last year in the final, 
where Vasey came out with a 4-3 series win to earn themselves the 
SRFL championship.  This series is shaping up to be another 
competitive duel between two of the best teams in the SRFL.

Power Pool Concept Scores A Hit ? But Not With Everyone

?I didn?t like the idea at first?

?Initially I was shocked?

?Don?t mind it as much as when I first saw it?

?I still like the double elimination better?

Those are some of the comments heard around the 
park in Eau Claire from fans and players as they 
shared their feelings about the ?power pool? 
concept for the round robin portion of the 2005 ISC World Tournament.




Jerry Stangl 73 year old retired postal employee 
from Coon Rapids, Iowa, has been coming with his 
wife to the World Tourney for over 35 years.


?We plan our vacation around it.? Says 
Stangl.  And how does he feel about the latest wrinkle in the format?

?I didn?t like the idea at first, but having seen 
it in action I like it a lot better. It gave the 
non-power teams a better chance of making the 
playoffs? says Stangl. ?I still like the old 
style (double elimination) better, but with the 
new format you get a chance to watch some better games early.?

Phil Reimer of Landmark, (?the fastball hotbed of 
Manitoba?) calls the power pool format ?fine ? it 
has cut down on the number of mercy games? Reimer 
is watching his first World Tournament. He 
questions whether there are ?too many teams?

Carl Lind of Crystal Falls, Michigan, has been 
coming to the tournament for 15 years. His 
reactions: ?I was shocked when I saw the change to the power pools?

But Lind continues, ?I take my hat off to the 
I.S.C. They are doing their best to save the 
game. They are trying valiantly so we really 
shouldn?t be shocked at seeing major changes come.?

Lind admits he ?comes late to the tournament? 
since the ISC has gone to pool play. He sums up 
his feelings with, ?You are doing your best to 
save the game ? now if we could only get the owners to go along.?

Certainly not everyone agrees with the power 
pools ? or with round robin play in general.

?I?ve always liked double elimination better.? 
Says Leo Lowe of Garretson, S. Dak., who has been 
coming to the I.S.C. since Saskatoon in 1987.

?I like it, but I still like double elimination 
better.? says Bruce Simpson of Alleston Ontario, 
who has seen 24 World Tourneys.

Simpson adds ?I don?t mind sitting here watching 
good teams play and I?d rather see teams fairly 
well matched than watch one team beat the bejebbers out of another.?

Guy Greenwall and Bob Goulden who played for the 
Edmonton Express agree that ?the power pool gives 
a sense of fairness. It sets up some upset 
possibilities and makes pool play more 
competitive with better matchups.? Goulden 
observed that, ?I didn?t mind it as much as when 
I first saw it. I thought it was a bad idea, but 
now that I?ve seen it, I think it is better than I had expected it to be.?

The power pool concept is likely to be continued 
when the 2006 edition of the ISC World Tournament 
is contested in Kitchener next August.

JRW & Associates drops Opener to Boise Clippers at NAFA World Series


Casper Park, Mankato, Minnesota..On Friday in the NAFA Class AA World
Series, JRW lost their opener 7-3 to the Boise Idaho Clippers.


Ann Morrison Park in Boise was booked as was Gateway Park in Yakima so the
Clippers and JRW decided to play their travel league game in Mankato.


In T1, JRW loaded the bases on an error, walk and a single. One run scored
on a walk. Then JRW LF Bob Harris ground into a 5U, 5-3 DP. Another
groundout ended the inning.


In the T2, JRW RF Troy Grow singled, then 2B Don Cawthron homered to give
JRW a 3-1 lead.
The Clippers added a run in B2 on a walk, error and a sac fly by LF Kerry
Green. The Clippers tied the score on three successive singles in the B6
with Boise CF Daric Smith driving in the run.


JRW threatened in the T4 with successive singles by CF Tim Fischer and RF
Troy Grow. The Clippers sent ace John Clark to the mound who struck out the
next two batters to end the inning scoreless for JRW.


The Clippers broke open the game with a double by LF Kerry Green, an RBI
double by RF Dave Ediss, an RBI single by 1B Mike Lehman and an RBI single
by 3B Brian Stanton. (Mike Lehman was the MVP in the 2003 DeMarini Classic
in Portland Oregon).


JRW Travis Kraft pitched the last two innings, striking out two but allowed
one run for the 7-3 Clipper victory.
For JRW, 2B Don Cawthron was 1-4, 1 HR, 2 Runs, 2 RBI; 1B Dean Waltier was
1-2, 1 RBI; and RF Troy Grow was 2-3, 1 Run.

Not an excuse, but from their ISC II roster, JRW is missing SS Paul Reyes,
pitcher Matt Barnes, LF Paul Carlton and 2B Kasey Knight, the latter two who
were pickups from the NW Merchants team who won 1-0 Friday in their opening
game at the NAFA World Series. JRW will also be without 1B Dean Waltier who
severely pulled his hamstring trying to advance from first to third on a
single by JRW's LF Bob Harris. To add misery to misfortune, Dean was trying
to return to Seattle on a Northwest Airlines flight, an airline whose union
was set to go strike Friday night at 1:00 AM.


JRW will play at 11:30 AM Sat morning in the 3GG NAFA loser's bracket.

Eau Claire, Wi



As we get into the final games of the 2005 version of the ISC World 
Tournament we are seeing some upsets and we have seen some come backs.



Tonight's game between the reigning ISC World Champions, the 
Amsterdam NY Broken Bow Spirit and the Kitchener Hallman Twins can 
only be called an upset, although as they say, any given game, any 
given night......



The Twins came through tonight, eliminating the Broken Bow team from 
the tournament. Todd Martin threw a great game for the Twins and the 
team came through with the hits, especially in the 6th when vetran 
Dave Bailey, the DH hit a solo shot to put the Twins ahead by one 
run. Dambrosio singled. Baechler singled; Dambrosio advanced to 
third. Simmons singled,RBI; Baechler advanced to second; Dambrosio scored.







It was a low scoring game, but a well played one, and one that the 
fans thoroughly enjoyed.

Kitchener will next play in Game 102 on Saturday afternoon against 
the winner of tonight's 8pm game between The Farm Tavern of Madison 
WI, and Saskatoon SK, Aspen Interiors, which just happens to be 
coached by none other than Kitchener's own Larry Lynch, long time 
coach of the Waterloo Twins. Most bets are on The Farm boys but the 
way things are unfolding here in Eau Claire, anything can happen.





On the other side of the action today, Circle Tap from Denmark WI 
came back in the bottom of six with two runs to upset Green Bay WI, 
Townline/Shoot's, defeating them by a slim 3-2. For Circle Tap, 
Dwayne Dyck gave up the two hits in 3.2 innings. He was relived by 
Rob O'Brien from Fergus Ontario.

<http://www.iscfastpitch.com/webstartme/tours/2005world/isc/98.htm>http://www.iscfastpitch.com/webstartme/tours/2005world/isc/98.htm

Tane Richardson from New Zealand pitched for Green Bay and gave up 3 
runs on 7 hits.



Circle Tap will now go head to head with the prohibitive favorite, 
County Materials of Marathon WI in game 101 at high noon on Saturday. 
This will be a well attended game as both teams very popular in Wisconsin.



In an upset last evening, the Calgary Smokers were eliminated by 
Green Bay in a 6-2 contest that ended at 2:45am



The new pool format at this year's World Tournament has provided some 
interesting outcomes, including some teams that were quite pleased 
with their performances. This would include Innerkip who went 4-0 in 
round robin play. They lost to a top team, Circle Tap, so went home 
pleased with their performance.



The Jarvis ON Merchants performed at a very respectable 3-1 record, 
especially considering this was their first World Tournament.



The Kitchener Hallman Twins went 4-0 in round robin play and are 
still in contention.



We have some great ball on schedule for tomorrow, starting at 
noon.  Be sure to set your web dial to 
<http://www.sportsjuice.com/providers2/index.php?tname=isc/>http://www.sportsjuice.com/providers2/index.php?tname=isc/

The live audio crew will be broadcasting all day Saturday starting 
with the Circle Tap vs County Materials at high noon.



We understand from the web cast crew that they have been testing a 
video feed to go with the audio option for tomorrow. Stand by for 
news on that item.

North Mankato, Minnesota


Sunday evening, the Scarlett's of Sioux Falls, South Dakota won the NAFA 
A-Major World Series Championship.  The Scarlett's defeated the Duncan 
Outlaws 11-5 in a "Winner Take All" Final.   In just it's second year of 
existence, the Scarlett's join the Boise Clippers (Boise, ID) as the only 
champions in NAFA Class A-Major.

Duncan jumped on the scoreboard early, scoring five runs in the runs in the 
top of the first inning, including a home run to begin the game by Allen Hodge.

The Scarlett's scored two runs in the bottom of third inning on an two-RBI 
single by Chuck Huntimer.

The Scarlett's bats came alive in the sixth as they scored nine runs, 
making it 11 unanswered runs by the Scarlett's.  Three walks were mixed in 
with singles by Chuck Huntimer, Lon Anderson, Don Hegge, Mark Mueller and a 
double by Dave Loruny.

Dan Huisman, former Minnesota State Director for NAFA, got the Championship 
game win in relief of starter LeRoy Jolstad.



The Duncan Outlaws forced the "If Necessary" game with a dramatic 6-5 
win.  The Scarlett's brought the game even 5-5 in the top of the 
seventh.  With one out, Jimmy Cobb singled.  Cobb then advanced to third on 
Brent Miller's single through the left side of the infield.  The next 
batter, Jeff Gangler, was walked intentionally.  Tim Smart came to 
plate.  He hit a grounder to the second basemen, who threw the ball 
home.  The catcher then attempted to get Smart out at first base.  Instead 
his throw sailed wide and Miller scored to give the Outlaws the win.

Graff Pepsi of Brookfield, Missouri earned fifth place.  Graff Pepsi lost 
to the Scarlett's in the Winner's Bracket Final before losing to the Duncan 
Outlaws.  Rudd's Team and Trophy of Peoria, Illinois placed fourth.



The Scarlett's Dave Lorang was named the A-Major Most Valuable 
Player.  Teammate Leroy Jolstad earned Most Valuable Pitcher honors.  Tim 
Smart of the Duncan Outlaws was named the Best Offensive 
Player.  Outstanding Coach went to the Duncan Outlaws skipper Matt Miller.

The Sportsmanship Award went to Rudd's Team and Trophy.

North Mankato, Minnesota

Waseda University of Tokyo, Japan advanced to the championship game of the 
2005 NAFA World Series at Caswell Park in North Mankato, Minnesota this 
morning with a 3-0 win over Lancaster County Motors of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Waseda pitcher Yukinori Nakashima ran his record to 5-0, striking out 17 
against Lancaster.  Nakashima threw a no-hitter in his previous game 
against New Image Salon of Monfort, Wisconsin.

Waseda awaits the winner of the Lancaster-Nor Cal Mavericks (Sacramento, 
Cal) game.  Nor Cal defeated New Image 5-4.  Trailing by two outs in the 
top of the seventh, with runners on first and third, New Image batter 
Harvey Knutson hit a fly ball to centerfield.  Nor Cal centerfielder Jeff 
Reach jumped to make a catch that carried him over the fence and would have 
been a walk-off homer for Knutson in the Fourth Place Game.

Cc: tim_hamilton5236 at hotmail.com


Hello again,
I wish to, once again, thank all involved for trying to keep Masters 
Fastball alive. And the fields in Coburg are the best I have ever played 
on. However, I have some serious concerns about the trend I am seeing. I 
was out of Fastball for 6 years and returned in 2004 with Alvinston. I was 
so happy to be back that I was unconcerned where we played or how things 
were set up. After completing the last 2 years I will not return if I know 
the set up is the same in Coburg. There is no legitimate excuse in the 
fastball world that would cause a team (not ours) to be 2 and 1 in the 
divisional play and then have to possibly play 5 more games to win it all. 
8 games in 2 days. Last year we played 7 games in 2 and 1/2 days to finish 
3rd. We would have had to forfeit the final if we had made it because of 
fatigue and injury. The world tournament does not play that many games in 6 
days! I have not been associated with any tournament in any sport (I have 
played hundreds) that required this amount of action from any teams, let 
alone guys over 40 and 50 and more. It also seems that the schedules the 
last 2 years in Coburg were set with different motives than sportsmanship. 
Last year the schedule seemingly changed on our trip down to play.

Anyway, enough griping. Ball is always great and it is great to play a lot 
of the old and new masters. I just fear that if run like this it will die 
an early death which would be a shame.

Once again, these are only my views and are not necessarily shared by 
anyone else on my team.
Sincerely,
Tim Hamilton

P.S. My wife came for 1 game only and paid $10 to get in and $4 for a beer. 
I paid less than that for a Jays game 3 weeks ago.

Kudos to the guy who brings the souvenirs. I know he takes a chance on 
sales and I want him to know his efforts are much appreciated. I hope he 
will forward me his e-mail address.

JRW & Associates throws away the throw-away game with PBI at the NAFA World
Series.

Casper Park, Mankato, Minnesota..On Saturday morning in the NAFA Class AA
World Series, JRW lost in extra innings 5-3 to Pate Bonding, Inc (PBI) of St
Paul.

JRW literally threw away the throw-away game in the NAFA 3GG format. In this
format, the first game after a opening game loss has typically been called a
throw-away game as both winner and loser advance to play their guaranteed
third game.

In the T1, JRW gave up two unearned runs with errors on the first two
batters, a walk, plus a double and a single by PBI. JRW tied the game in B1
on LF Bob Harris' 2 RBI single.

PBI went ahead 3-2 in T2 on 3 singles. JRW tied the game in B1 on SS Mike
Parham's single and C Jason Scheibner's triple.

PBI went ahead 4-3 in T9 on 3 singles, but added a 5th run on the last
single as CF Todd Vanderhaag stole home when the OF throw to 2B was lobbed
in.

PBI pitcher Don Wall sealed the win with 2 K's in the B9.

JRW will play next at 4:45 PM Sat afternoon in an elimination game in the
3GG NAFA loser's bracket.

Sioux Falls, SD




This email is to try and explain the unfortunate happenings at the ISC II 
Tournament of Champions in Chippewa Valley, WI.  The Sioux Falls Sox 
committed players would like to extend a sincere apology to the ISC, ISC II 
committee especially Blair Setford, the other ISC II teams, umpires, our 
Sponsors, fans and families for allowing the time to be away to play this 
wonderful game.  The Sioux Falls Sox had a very strong showing in the pool 
play going 4-0 and beating the top team and ranked 3rd in the ISC II Team 
Easton.  The core members of the team were informed that players were 
planning to leave to play in another tournament, therefore leaving the Sox 
shorthanded to complete the tourney.  We attempted to bring other roster 
players that had prior commitments up to Chippewa, but was unsuccessful due 
to their commitments at home.  This event will forever be an embarrassment 
on the Sioux Falls Sox and we committed players wanted to formally 
apologize.  The committed Sox players will be planning to revamp their team 
to make a run at 2006 in Kitchener.  Thank you.



Sincerely,



Mike Mueller
SF Sox

AGM chance to bring softball community together
Tuesday August 23rd 2005

The Softball New Zealand annual AGM and conference to be held in Lower Hutt 
this weekend is a chance to bring together the sports administrators from 
all around the country as they work together to further grow and develop 
the game.

This weekend is the ideal opportunity to set the platform for the upcoming 
season in terms of growth and development in the game. New Zealand Softball 
president Bob Leveloff says the AGM and conference is the only opportunity 
each year to bring the sports leaders together and report back on the past 
season and share ideas for the future.

"It is a chance for people to give the board of New Zealand Softball 
feedback and direction, and learn a few things from the different workshops 
being held," said Leveloff.

The AGM will start on Saturday morning and the meeting will include the 
election of three people to the board of New Zealand Softball, there are 
five people standing for the vacant positions.

Other features of the weekend include a presentation regarding the 
commercial development of Softball New Zealand following an independent 
study that has been held over the past 12 months.

The weekend will also see the sports achievers recognised with the annual 
New Zealand Softball awards dinner on Saturday night. The evening will see 
a number of people recognised for achievement and service with two 
inductions to be made for the Softball New Zealand Hall of Fame and awards 
presented for achievements in the 2004/05 season.

Leveloff says the Hall of Fame and Distinguished Service awards are a 
chance to recognise people who have put so much into the sport of softball 
over the years.

Wyevale, ON



Tribe Continues To Ground Eagle Offence



Game 2 of the best 5 semi final between the Toanche Eagles and Wyevale 
Tribe took place last night at the newly renovate Toanche diamond.  The 
field was in great shape, and there was a little chill in the air as Mother 
Nature provided a great night to play fastball.



Kevin Foster got the call for Toanche again, and pitched another solid 
game, but with a similar script to game 1, the Eagle offence provided no 
help. Foster took the loss giving up 4 runs (3 earned) 7 innings of 
work.  Notable for the Tribe was Trace Leonard who went 2-4, and picked up 
2 RBI's.  Mark Lambie, and Kyle Lapham drove in the other Tribe runs.



Kelly, and Game 1 started Jason Giffen combined on a 3 hit shutout of 
Toanche.  Kelly went 5 strong to get the win, giving up 2 hits and striking 
out 7.  Giffen closed the door, and got the save.  In a scary moment for 
the Tribe faithful, Giffen took a hard liner that ricocheted off his hand 
and plunked him square in the cheek.  He was alright, and finished out the 
game.



With the 4-0 win the Tribe takes a 2-0 strangle hold on the series, and can 
close it out on Thursday at the Teepee in Wyevale.



In other SRFL action the Minesing Monarchs took the crucial Game 3 in their 
best of 5 series with the defending champs from Vasey.  Minesing squeaked 
out a 9-8 victory in a slugfest.  Vasey now faces elimination on Thursday 
as they travel to Barrie to battle with the Monarchs on their own soil.

Newboro, ON


The Greenbush Generals defended their title successfully at the 35th Annual 
Newboro Fastball Tournament.  Greenbush beat Sharbot Lake 7-4 in the 
finals.  Kevin Griffin took home Top Pitcher honours and Chris Switzer was 
the Top Hitter of the tournament.  Even though one team decided to not show 
up without any notice, the weather held off and the tournament was a great 
success.  Next year's tournament is slated for August 18, 19, & 20, 2006.

Thanks Al,

Scott Rice
Newboro Team Rep.

best-of-five final.

Manotick on Wednesday August 24 at 8PM and continues with game 2 in 
Stittsville on Thursday August 25 at 8:30PM.

The other semi-final pits the #2 Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric

game win at the ISC II Tournament of Champions in Wisconsin as a member of 
the Ottawa team.  Fitzroy Harbour were playoff finalists in 2004.  Action

In Upper Ottawa Valley Men's Fastball League play, the playoffs have 
already begun with best-of-five semi-final series, with winners to meet in 
a best-of-seven final.

Micksburg Twins (9-4), who finished as the first seed after regular season 
play for the seventh season in a row, are facing #4 Beachburg NRTco (2-8), 
with the Twins currently up two games to none.   Micksburg has ISC II 
All-World Designated Hitter Corey Costello as their main pitcher, with 
veteran Dwight Mick and bantam-aged Joran Graham getting work as 
well.  Beachburg counters with Corey's cousin and fellow Ottawa Team Easton 
Thunder pick up Shawn Costello and Jonathan Regier on the hill.  Micksburg 
won game one (Aug 10) 6-4 and game two (Aug 17) 10-4, with Joran Graham 
getting both victories.  Both games were in Micksburg.  Brad Steege had a 
home run for Micksburg in game two. Shawn Costello took the loss in game 
one, while Jonathan Regier took the loss in game two.  Matt Collins had a 
home run in a losing cause in game two for Beachburg.  Micksburg are 
defending playoff champions and have won the UOVMFL playoff crown four of 
the last five seasons.  Beachburg interrupted the Micksburg streak by 
winning the league crown in 2003.  Game three will take place in Beachburg 
on Wednesday August 24 at 8:30PM.

In the other semi-final series, #2 Campbell's Bay Royals (7-4-1) are facing 
#3 Shawville Hursty's Athletics (5-5-1).  The Royals currently lead the 
series two games to none, based on two strong pitching outings by veteran 
left-hander Len Burger.  Matt Greer and Tony Newberry also see the ball for 
Campbell's Bay, who are playing their home playoff games out of Bryson, 
Quebec.  Shawville's pitching duties have been handled by Todd Fraser (a 
member of the ISC II Team Easton Thunder) and Todd Hearty who each have one 
loss in the series to date.  Campbell's Bay won game one 9-4 and had home 
runs from Chuck Paquette and Joe McCleary.   Shawville countered with home 
runs from Luke Murphy and Al Kuehl in a losing cause.  Game two in 
Shawville was much closer, with the Royals eking out a 3-2 victory.  Chuck 
Paquette had his second home run of the playoffs in this game.  Campbell's 
Bay were playoff finalists in 2003 and Shawville were finalists in 
2004.  Game three will take place in Bryson on Tuesday August 23 at 8PM 
with game four scheduled for Thursday August 24 at 8PM in Shawville, if 
necessary.

r.b.i. single from Jason Redmond.

In the second inning, first baseman Trevor Wardell drilled a solo home run

double, advanced to third on a wild pitch and came in to score on a 
sacrifice fly.

Bradley restored the 3 run Crunch cushion later when he walked to get 
aboard, stole second and then scored on a single by shortstop Chris Mink.

The final Crunch tally came when Garrett Baker knocked in Lisk who had got 
aboard by way of a Stinger error.

Garrett Baker went 4 innings for the Crunch giving up 1 run. Trevor Wardell 
came on with 3 innings of scoreless relief.

'Little things' key to success for Razzy's

Fawcetts at Senior Men's Canadians

By Pat Healey

CHARLOTTETOWN - For the Charlottetown Razzy's Roadhosue Fawcetts to have 
success at the Canadian Senior Men's Softball Nationals in St. Thomas, Ont. 
beginning Saturday they will need to do the little things correctly.

" For us to be successful we need to do the little things right, play some 
defence and make some plays behind our pitchers, move runners and get some 
big hits," Paul MacKinnon, a player on the team, said. "This is the first 
time back for alot of us in several years and we have some great young 
players such as Chris Craig and Jason Blanchard. I expect big things from 
those young players...they are great young talents...."

MacKinnon said keeping the errors to a minimal will be key to any surprises 
of top teams such as PEI #1 representative Kinkora Hitmen, the Kitchener 
Hallman Twins and the hosts and strong St. Thomas Canadians squad.

"We'll hit the ball we just cannot give runs away and we will sneak up on 
some teams," he added.

Charlottetown has played regularly in the Source for Sports Men's 
Intermediate Fast Pitch League, and sits in second at 16-3 behind the 
Hitmen (17-3) in the league standings.
"We're very pleased with having a senior program out of Charlottetown again 
and the support we have recieved from both the public and our sponsors," 
MacKinnon said.

Coach Allan Power said support for softball in the Capital city was evident 
when the Fawcetts played Team Canada in a tune up for Canada for the ISF 
Jr. Men's World Softball Championship in Summerside and at their Canada Day 
tournament, which attracted teams from across the Maritimes.

"We are in a building process and trying to get better and put a good 
product on the field, which we have done thus far" coach Power said.
The Fawcvetts haven't gone without their bumps and bruises during the 
season as MacKinnon is returning to form after sitting out five weeks with 
an injury; speedy shortstop Stecve Larter is just getting healthy but thesy 
have experience at Nationals on their side. Team and league leading hitter 
Mark Arsenault and Rob McIntee have been to close to 30 nationals combined, 
Power said.

"I really expect my veteran players like MacKinnon, Larter, Jamie 
MacDonald, Rob McIntee and Mark Arsenault to lead by example for our 
younger players," Power explained. "They are looking forward to the 
spotlight once again wearing a Fawcett's uniform."

He pointed out the gas man Mike Bishop is pitching, he is optimistic of the 
Fawcetts gaining entry into the playoffs.

"With the new format of eight games in five days, I like the fact I finally 
will have a full bench to work with. Everybody will have to play a major 
role either through pitching, hitting, pinch running or playing defense," 
he said. "Everybody will have to contribute to have success.

"It might be a blessing that we had a short bench all year as a lot of guys 
got to play different positions which allows me to put my best nine hitters 
on the field at all times. We just cannot beat ourselves."

The roster for the Fawcetts includes just three pickups, all from 
Newfoundland and Labrador as noted below:
Mike Bishop; Chris Craig; Steve Bishop; Jonathon Broderick; Newfoundland 
and Labrador's Harold Kelly, Andy MacDonald and Jope Fagan; Jason 
Blanchard; Paul MacKinnon; Rob MacIntee, Steve Larter; Mark Arsenaualt; 
Jamie MacDonald; Cory MacKiegan; Jason Gallant, coach Allan Power; manager 
Campy Gallant

eScribe is down and maybe out, maybe for good.


eScribe went down over a week ago, just as the ISC's were getting underway. 
This is not the first time they have crashed and been down for more than a 
few hours. In June 2004 they went down and were down for weeks while the 
owner bought and set up all new servers.

eScribe is privately owned, my company has nothing to do with it.  Al's 
Fastball is just one of hundreds of list servers that make use of the 
services provided by eScribe. This service has always been free.

Last year in June we learned that the owner, Scott Paterson, was working 
with a couple of unpaid volunteers to keep eScribe going. He had to buy 
expensive computer equipment to replace the servers that had worn out and died.

This week we learned that they major technical problems and the prognosis 
is not good.

See Scott's note to me today:

Al

Dead power supply and lack of financial support and non-paid volunteers. 
Going to try to fix it myself as soon as I have time, but really, with no 
end-user financial support, it's most likely done for.
-Scott

This does not sound good.

Thousands of fastball fans miss their easy access to recent posts AND to a 
virtual gold mine of history on the game, posts from the past several years.

We are encouraging Scott to carry on, which is not easy as he cannot 
receive email any longer @escribe.com, the system is totally down.  We do 
write the occasional very short note to Scott at his work address but I 
cannot give this out, his employer frowns upon getting private email at his 
work place.

In the interim, we have been using Jim Flanagan's TEMP site, as our only 
site for posting fastball news.
That site is: http://www.fastpitchwest.com/alsfastball.htm

For now we are not calling it the TEMP site, its our only site at the moment.

We are looking at other options as the temp site does have some drawbacks, 
including the fact that the latest postings are at the bottom of the page 
and not the top. As well, if someone sends me a post and then changes their 
mind, its not that easy to remove the post in error as eScribe was.

Jim Flanagan has very kindly provided this site and I would most appreciate 
if you could tell your friends about it, many fans may not know about it. 
We have almost 2,000 fans on our subscriber list but we estimate there are 
at least that many who were looking daily at eScribe to get their fastball 
news.

Thanks

Al

Ottawa, ON

On Wednesday August 24, in three different league playoffs games with their 
club teams, the three pitchers from the ISC II #3 Ottawa Team Easton 
Thunder squad all excelled after their return from the Tournament of 
Champions in Wisconsin.

At Stittsville, ON: Dan Bradley, pitching for Stittsville 56ers, threw a 
two hit complete game shutout over the Fitzroy Harbour WC Electric in a 1-0 
victory.  Bradley had seven strikeouts in the victory.  Fitzroy Harbour 
pitcher Brad Porter, a pitcher on the 2004 roster for the Thunder, also 
threw a two hitter - the only run was unearned.  Stittsville leads the 
Greater Ottawa Fastball League best-of-five semi-final two games to none.

At Manotick, ON: Dan Konkle, pitching for Kanata Team Easton, threw a one 
hit complete game shutout over the Manotick Lomor Printers in a 5-0 
victory.  Konkle had eighteen strikeouts in the victory, and did not go to 
more than two balls on any batter.  Kanata leads the Greater Ottawa 
Fastball League best-of-five semi-final one game to none.

At Beachburg, ON: Corey Costello, pitching for the Micksburg Twins, threw a 
perfect game, his second of the season, in a 7-0 victory over Beachburg 
NRTco.  Costello had sixteen strikeouts in the win.  Micksburg defeated 
Beachburg three games to none and now move on the Upper Ottawa Valley Men's 
Fastball League final against Campbell's Bay, QC Royals.

In one night combined totals for Bradley, Konkle and Costello:
21 innings, 0 runs allowed, 3 hits, 3 walks, 41 strikeouts.

  Travel to Kitchener in 2006



New Passport Requirements Won't Affect Travel to Kitchener in 2006

Whew!  That was a scare - - - but it had a happy ending.

A topic which emerged late last week during the ISC World Tournament time 
in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, had some people fretting and concerned.

The topic?  A coming requirement that U.S. citizens would have to have a 
U.S. passport to be allowed to re-enter the United States. And the concern 
was that this new requirement would be in place in time to make it more 
difficult, and costly, for Americans to make the trek to Kitchener and 
Waterloo, Ontario, in August of 2006 for the ISC World Tournament and the 
ISC-II Tournament of Champions.

The good news - - - and the straight skinny - - - is that this new 
"requirement" of a passport WILL NOT BE IN EFFECT UNTIL THE END OF THE YEAR 
2006 if flying and not until the end of 2007 if driving!!!!!

This means that the thousands of Americans - - - players and fans alike - - 
- who will be in Kitchener next August, WILL indeed be able to re-enter the 
good old U.S.A. without a requirement of showing a U.S. passport.

The coming need for a passport, to be required as part of the Homeland 
Security efforts, is on the horizon.  The message here is that Americans 
should seriously consider applying for a U.S. passport to be used for 
identification - - - but this choice will not be forced on Americans until 
more than a year after the ISC World Tournament is held in Canada again in 
2006.

August 25
Denmark, WI

First and foremost I would like to extend a huge thank you to sponsor
Darren Derricks and manager Denny Bruckert for both their financial
resources as well as their strong leadership skills both on and off the
field, promoting this great game.
The 2005 Season for the Circle Tap team is a very difficult thing to sum
up in just a few words but I will do my best.  By far the highlight of the
season is the way we finished.  We finished 3rd place in the World
sporting a 5-3 mark in the tourney(37-22 overall).  Going into the Worlds
I think a lot of people had their doubts about this team, however we came
together and played extremely well together and a 3rd place finish is
something we can be proud of.  This team is extremely talented and a great
bunch of guys.  We had to fight through various injuries, missing players,
etc.  You mention it, it happend to CT in '05.
The season definitely had it's ups and downs.  We did capture our 3rd
straight Wisconsin Classic League.  The league is extremely difficult,
playing against Townline/Shoots(7th), The Bar(16th), and Happy Hollow(went
2-2 in pool play and made it to the WC playoffs).  We all make each other
a little better starting off the season seeing these great teams.
We also captured our 3rd straight Decatur Shootout which was the only
tournament title that we won in '05.  We finished 2nd in Des Moines, lost
in quarters in Eau Claire, winless in Monkton, semi-final at Boys of
Summer, 1-3 in Allentown, 2-2(split squad) in Aurora.  As bad as it looked
for awhile this team came together at the big show and played very well.
Again, I can't say enough about our sponsor and manager so that the rest
of us can play the greatest game at to top level.  I do also want to thank
all of our great players for a fun and exciting year as well.  I truely
hope we can do it again!
I do want to mention that I do believe the great Jody Hennigar is going to
retire.  I only spent one season with him as a teammate but I can tell you
it was a true honor and he is an excellent teammate and very intelligent
player.

That is all for now.

Canadian Softball Championship here.

The Kingston Autohouse Kobras (Ont. 2), L?Express du Laval (Que. 2) and

entertaining day for softball at Memorial Park, the School field and 
Westisle?s new diamond.

Kingston picked up 23-3 and 13-0 wins over the host Cavendish Produce

tied 2-2 until the fourth and fifth innings when the floodgates opened as 
the Kobras scored 21 times in the two innings to mercy the A?s.

Laval took wins of 11-3 and 13-6 over Cardigan (P.E.I 2) and the Athletics 
while Cornwall demolished the host Summerside Stingers 13-4 before Charley 
Johnson pitched a one hit, 10-0 shutout of the Dartmouth Diamonds for the 
Cougars? second win of the day.

Other scores saw the Judique Royals (N.S. 1) crown the Chaleur team from 
New Brunswick 15-3; Sud Ouest earned an opening day 6-4 win over the

P?ninsule Acadienne (N.B. 2) 16-0 and Au P'tit Mousse P?ninsule Acadienne 
edged the Stingers 7-5.

Day one saw close to two no hitter games one thrown by Cornwall?s Johnson,

Wyevale, ON



SRFL Finals Set



Two 1 run games decided who will compete for the SRFL crown in 
2005.  Minesing avenged their loss in the finals one year ago by ousting 
the defending champs from Vasey with a 3-2 victory.  Minesing took the 
series 3 games to 1.



Game #1

Minesing ? 0



Game #2

Minesing ? 10

Vasey ? 5



Game #3

Minesing ? 9

Vasey ? 8



Game #4

Minesing ? 3

Vasey - 2



Minesing moves on to face the Wyevale Tribe in the final.  The Tribe ousted 
Toanche in 3 straight games without giving up a single run.  Three Pitchers 
combined for the series shutout.  Ace Jason Giffen threw 11 innings and 
picked up 2 wins, Graham McNabb tossed 5 innings in game 3 and gave way to 
Giffen with the score tied a 0, and Mike Kelly pitched 5 innings in Game 2 
picking up the win.



Game #1

Tribe ? 3

The final has the makings of a series to remember as two of the best teams

take home the championship in 2005.

Ancaster ?Cyclones? to three wins on Day Two at

Bantam Girls Eastern Canadians Championship

By Pat Healey

MEDIA OFFICER

ALBERTON - The Ancaster Cyclones went into Friday?s action at the 2005 
Tignish Credit Union Bantam Girls Eastern Canadians Championships here 
facing an uphill battle of playing three times along with an opening 
ceremony to attend. They did just fine.

The Cyclones, who were 1-0, remained undefeated and secured at least a spot 
in cross over action with three wins on Friday, but none of them were easy. 
Ancaster (Ont. No. One) spoiled Jane Hurst?s 10 strikeout game as they 
topped Dartmouth Diamonds (N.S. No. Two) 13-1, handed P.E.I. champion 
Cornwall Cougars their second straight loss 14-5.Ancaster then squeaked by 
the Summerside Stingers 3-0 in a game that saw Taylore Matheson of the 
Stingers pitch solid while Kayla Worth broke up the no hitter in the fifth 
inning.

Cornwall remains in the hunt for a playoff spot, while the Stingers need 
some help if they are to make it to further action. Cardigan (P.E.I. No. 
Two) and the host West Prince Cavendish Produce Athletics have been 
virtually eliminated with one game left each. West Prince is 1-3 while 
Cardigan is 0-4.

The Sud-Ouest Dragons (Que. No. One) kept their perfect streak alive with 
two wins on Friday including a come from behind 9-8 win over the Cougars 
after trailing 6-0 at one point. They also beat Au P'tit Mousse P?ninsule 
Acadienne 16-1 in three innings.

Ontario No. Two Kingston Autohouse Kobras have almost certainly assured 
themselves a spot in Friday?s playoffs with 7-0 and 15-2 wins over 
L?Express du Laval (Que. No. Two) and Cardigan.

Meghan Micheau played hero for the Dartmouth Diamonds as they earned their 
first win as they ended the championship with a 3-2 win over Au P?Tit (N.B. 
No. Two) as the sun set in the bottom of the seventh. Micheau, named Greco 
player of the game, went 4-4 with three doubles, a triple, driving in all 
three Diamonds runs in the process.

The co-host Cavendish Produce Athletics picked up their first win of their 
tournament thanks to homeruns from Ashtin Arsenault and Erin Gaudette en 
route to the 9-2 five inning win. The Stingers also won Friday, taking it 
7-0 over Dartmouth Diamonds (N.S. No. Two) on Karen Gallant?s one hit, four 
strikeout performance.

Comeback complete for Cartwright
Saturday August 27th 2005

The international softball comeback of Sheree Cartwright was completed 
tonight with her naming as the 2004/05 Softballer of the Year at the sports 
annual awards dinner in Lower Hutt.

Cartwright was a dominating force in the women?s game during the 2004/05 
season winning re selection for the New Zealand Community Trust White Sox 
earlier this year for the home international series and tours of Australia 
and North America.

On the domestic scene Cartwright was part of the victorious Southland side 
at the National Provincial Championships where she was named the tournament 
MVP while also picking up the same award at the National Club Championships.

White Sox coach Mike Walsh says Cartwright has had a great season and is a 
real asset to the team both on the mound and with the bat where she has 
been one of the sides leading hitters.

While recognising that performances for the White Sox when they toured to 
North America in July were out of the qualification period for this award, 
Walsh stated that Cartwright further demonstrated her claim for the 
accolade. Even when not named to pitch a game Cartwright was often included 
in the team line up as the designated player allowing Walsh to utilise her 
power hitting talent.

?For the White Sox she was our outstanding performer at the Canada Cup 
tournament, she was selected in the All Stars tournament team and she was 
by far our top hitter with an average over 400,? said Walsh.

Along with being named Softball of the Year Cartwright also picked up 
awards for the Female Player of the Year and the Female Pitcher of the Year.

Walsh says Cartwright may have been in and out of the White Sox side in 
recent seasons but over the past year she has won her way back into the 
team due to her commitment and motivation.

?While she has had a great season we are not even close to seeing the best 
of her, she is only 23-years-old and I look forward to seeing even greater 
things from her in the future,? said Walsh.

Others recognised at the awards ceremony tonight were New Zealand Community 
Trust Black Sox outfielder Thomas Makea who was named Male Player of the 
Year and Marty Grant picked up the award for Male Pitcher of the Year.

Junior Black Sox captain Jonathan Munden was named the Emerging Male Player 
of the Year while Ngamoko Hiku won the award for Emerging Female Player of 
the Year.

Victorious Wellington National League coach Wayne Saunders was named coach 
of the year while Southland?s Rex Capil won the award for administrator of 
the year. Selection for official duties at the Athens Olympics last year 
saw Russell Moffat named scorer of the year and Wayne Saunders of Hutt 
Valley honoured as umpire of the year.

Also as part of the awards night there were two more inductions made into 
the Softball New Zealand Hall of Fame with legendary White Sox pitcher Gina 
Weber inducted along with world champion Black Sox infielder Kere Johanson.

Weber represented New Zealand in international softball for 18 years 
attending four world championships and one Olympic Games. She was part of 
the world championship winning White Sox side of 1982 while she also 
claimed a bronze in 1986 and silver in 1990. Weber was made a Member of the 
New Zealand Order of Merit in 2001.

Johanson debuted for the Black Son in 1988 and continued his international 
career through until 2000. During his time on the diamond Johanson attend 
four world championships coming away with silver medals in 1998 and 1992 
and gold in 1996 and 2000.

As part of the awards dinner service to the sport was also honoured with 
Maureen Sorenson and Kevin Baldwin both receiving Distinguished Service 
Awards.

Sorenson has been an Executive Member of the Hutt Valley Softball 
Association for the past 40 years holding the position of president for 
five years and vice president for eight years.

During her time with Hutt Valley Sorenson has filled many roles from scorer 
to manager to tournament organiser. She also served as the Junior White Sox 
manager for three years.

Like Sorenson Kevin Baldwin has also been a strong contributor to the game 
of softball for a number of years. Baldwin has been involved with Hutt 
Valley Softball for over 50 years as a player, coach, manager and 
administrator.

He was part of the organising team for the 1976 Men?s World Championships 
in Lower Hutt, is a life member of the Hutt Valley Softball Association and 
the Cardinals Softball Club and served on the New Zealand Softball 
Association for seven years.

Softball New Zealand chief executive Dale Eagar says the sport of softball 
wouldn?t survive without volunteers such as Sorenson and Baldwin and the 
Distinguished Service Award is the perfect way to recognise such dedication.

Fastball's popularity on the upswing


<mailto:ebender at lfpress.com>ERIC BENDER, Free Press Sports 
Reporter   2005-08-27 02:59:01

ST. THOMAS -- Those who like the game like it a lot.

Fastball has waxed and waned in St. Thomas for decades and like a rise 
ball, it's on the upswing with the 2005 Canadian senior men's championship 
that opens tomorrow at Doug Tarry complex in the southeastern sector of the 
city.

The 13-team tournament ends next Sunday, with the bronze-medal game at 11 
a.m. followed by the championship final at 1:30 p.m.

Bill Horne, head coach of the host St. Thomas Evergreen Centennials, said 
there are enough young players to sustain the sport.


"Maybe not right around here now but over Kitchener way, there's a lot of 
fastball and in the South Perth league. And there were 20 teams at the 
midget championship."

Matt Gentes, director of marketing and communications at Softball Canada in 
Ottawa, acknowledges there was a decline in the sport "a few years ago," 
but added registration numbers have "held steady with a light increase" the 
last two years.

There were more than 30,000 players (men and women) registered at all 
levels, including recreational teams and slo-pitch. Men's fastball is most 
popular (by ratio of population) in Atlantic Canada, he said.

Diana Thibodeau, Softball Canada program director for championships and 
officiating, said the men's championship is "our premier event in the country.

"The top athletes from around the country are there and they are pretty 
much the top athletes in North America in the sport. It's the best ball 
you'll see in the country."

It's not the popular sport it used to be several decades ago, Horne and 
fellow host committee co-chairperson Bill Allman agree.

But where tournaments are held, the faithful flock to the venue, driving 
hundreds of miles to get their fastball fix.

That's why Horne, Allman and a third co-chairperson, Scott Kennedy, were 
convinced as they watched bleachers being trucked in that there will be 
throngs of fans throughout the week.

It's not just blind faith that they'll come and make a $200,000 budget 
tournament profitable. A total of 30,000 spectators attended the 1999 
tournament.

It's the second time in six years the national championship has been held 
at the St. Thomas complex, and the last time, hosted by six local fastball 
teams, it produced a tidy profit. The Tarry five-field complex was deemed 
an ideal venue for the Canadians.

Horne, Allman and Kennedy are the trio of co-chairs who are members of the 
Centennial Sports Club that won the bid for the 2005 championships in 2002.

The club, a 140-member non-profit organization, will donate all profits to 
local sports teams. In the past six years, the club has turned over 
$148,000 to minor sports.

Where quality teams used to be put together strictly from local talent and 
perhaps an import pitcher, top teams are now assembled by players from 
widespread hometowns.

The host team here this year does have a fairly strong local flavour, though.

Nine of the 17 members are local -- outfielders Kevin Lynch of Shedden, 
Troy Rick of St. Thomas, Mark Coleman of Fingal and Ryan Wolfe of London; 
utility player Chris Wismer of St. Thomas; infielder-outfielder Chris Payne 
of London; first baseman Brian Harvey of London; second baseman Tyler 
Lessard of Union; and pitcher Dan Beecroft of St. Thomas.

Allman, who began playing fastball with the Port Stanley Stork Club men's 
team at age 14, said the cost of running top teams has risen with the need 
to pay travel expenses for out-of-town players.

In his prime, there were several fastball leagues in and around St. Thomas 
that eventually merged into the Memorial league where he pitched and where 
he became president after his playing days. Although they didn't win it, 
Allman remembers the St. Thomas team going to the Canadian championships in 
1967 in Saskatoon as the highlight of his career.

"Slo-pitch took over because the guys got a little older and it was a place 
to go," Allman said. "There was less commitment and you could go out just a 
couple of nights a week. Then slo-pitch took off and there were more 
tournaments and there was more commitment and that declined."

Horne, virtually a legend in fastball, pitched an inning last year with the 
Union Storm of the St. Thomas and District Major Fastball League which he 
manages. By doing so, Horne, now 54, became a kind of Gordie Howe of his 
sport because he had pitched in competitive fastball in five decades.

The cost of operating a team these days is substantial, Horne said. For 
Canadian teams the budget can run from $25,000 to $75,000 depending on how 
many tournaments a team enters and how far it travels.

"The Canadians are in Prince George, B.C., next year and if you qualify, it 
will be $30,000 just to get there," he said.

Top U.S. teams spend up to $400,000 and bring in players from Canada, 
Australia and New Zealand.

The three other Ontario entries here are Innerkip, Waterloo and Jarvis.

The opening ceremonies at 6 p.m. tomorrow will include a tribute to Lorne 
Thomson of Port Stanley. Thomson, a longtime trainer with area ball and 
hockey teams and who was the trainer of the host Fingal 99ers, died in 2002.

THE VENUE

Douglas Tarry complex at the northwest corner of Fairview Road and 
Southdale Line has five back-to-back diamonds. Two will be used for games 
and two will be available for practice. A third will contain a huge tent 
for food concessions and merchandise-souvenirs plus a smaller beer tent.

PAST CHAMPS

Ontario and British Columbia have been the fastball powers over the years.

Ontario teams have won the championship 14 times since 1965, while B.C. 
teams have taken 12 titles -- Victoria teams winning 10 of them. In 
Ontario, Owen Sound teams have captured five championships, the most recent 
ones coming in 2003, 2002 and 2000. The Toronto Gators won three Canadians 
in the 1990s. London's claim to fastball fame came in 1970 when the London 
TV Cable team won the Canadians.

HOW THE SCHEDULE WORKS

-- With an uneven number of teams (13) in the tournament, pool play is not 
possible. All teams play eight games in a round-robin format against teams 
that are selected in a seeding formula.

-- The top four teams then advance to a double-knockout schedule and the 
next four teams advance to a single-knockout schedule. The bottom five 
teams in the round-robin are eliminated.

-- The host St. Thomas Evergreen Centennials play their first game tomorrow 
at 1 p.m. against the Alberta Express and play again tomorrow at 7 p.m. 
against the Eastmain Fireballs. St. Thomas goes on to play the Mulgrave 
Nova Scotia Eagles, the Charlottetown Fawcetts, the defending champion 
Saskatoon Black Sox (Tuesday, 8:30 p.m.), the Kitchener Twins (Wednesday, 2 
p.m.), the Jarvis Merchants and the Kinkora Hitmen. St. Thomas does not 
play the Vancouver Grey Sox, Innerkip, Prince George or Newfoundland in the 
round-robin.D With an uneven number of teams (13) in the tournament, pool

Subject: 2005 ISC World Tournament Wrap-up - Thoughts and Thank You's

Let me start off first by saying Thank You to all the tournaments that had 
me come up and take care of statistics for your tournaments in various 
weekends through the year. This next year I will again pull out on the 
beggining of May and travel most weekends until I roll into the  ISC World 
Tournament in Kitchener Ontario Canada. If you want me to come to your 
tournament to take care of it all the way from the first pitch to the 
all-tournament teams get ahold of me when you can as my schedule fills up 
quick. I know I'm already slated to do the Boys of Summer (July 8,9,10th), 
The Hall of Fame Tournament in Des Moines (May 14, 15th), The Decatur 
Shoot-out (June 17,18,19th), the Albaugh Inc Classic (June 10-11, 12th). 
And as always I will be helping Gary with the Iowa Area State Tournament in 
June.

Now let's take a look back at the ISC World Tournament in Eau Claire, WI 
this year. First off I have to say thank you to the City of Eau Claire. 
 From the Plaza Hotel who provided me with the modem I used throughout the 
World Tournament to the amazing cheesecake on registration morning the 
Plaza was an amazing place to spend 11 days. The parks this year were 
awsome as we have come to except in Eau Claire, to the grounds crew, people 
raking and picking up garbage, and to all those people who were cooking, 
selling things, and spending countless hours at the park just keeping 
things going. A big Thank you goes out to all of you.

Ken Van Es - from the first e-mails we shared about two years ago all the 
way up and through Championship Saturday thank you for all your hard work 
and dedication that you and all of your staff brought to the World 
Tournament. In the course of any tournament as you know I spend 19 or more 
hours everyday at the park and the help of you and your organization ranks 
right up there as one of the best I have ever dealt with. Duane Hookum, 
Matt Pronschinske you guys were great to work with (thanks for the web-cam 
Duane great idea that I will be using for all tournaments here on out)

One of the hardest working group of people at any tournament are the 
scorekeepers, scoreboard operators, announcers and this year we had a great 
group and a couple I want to thank specially but lets start with who those 
people were. Wendy and Larry Duerkop, Todd Stuart, Dave Foster, Janet 
Chandler (School needs to start later, I need you at every world 
tournament), Jason Kenney, I know there are others I'm missing but I only 
had the list of names I stole from my pressbox wall.

A couple special thank you's go out to Kirk Howe and Dave Hansen who were 
with me most of the time. Kirk spent a lot of time on Diamond 1 and did the 
championship game for us (great job) and Dave who lived on Diamond 2 with 
me for the most part of 10 days. Dave and Kirk were the guys that spent all 
night with me Wednesday Night while we went through the 6 team playoff to 
decide our two wild card spots. Kirk left around what 4am and Kirk and I 
were there to the end with BILLY (not Billy Smith although he was there 
with me - late night protest committee I think we called it) but Billy the 
famous ball shagger even at 5:30 am he was going strong. I thank all you 
guys, if I didn't give you enough thanks then, believe me without you two I 
would have been up a creek.

The next group I want to thank and I already thanked them after the 
tournament at Sweetwaters for dinner but they are a group I honestly love 
and throughout the summer they are my family as we travel all over together 
but they are the ISC World Tournament umpires headed by Ron Brinkman (UIC) 
and Less Novak (Deputy) these guys get out there and work it each and every 
game and are simply the best in the game. Rob Deakin, Frank Omoe, Scott 
Mair (he really lives in Lincoln Neb.) Rich Silva, Jeff Whipple, Ken 
Vierling (who became best buddies with my 2 year old at dinner), Tom Boyd 
(He has been with me a long time now), Greg Pipher, Randy Souliers, Roger 
Cheyne, Ron Adkins, Kevin Wallace (a great friend of mine), Rick Havercroft 
(Congats on the championship plate and thank you again for all the coins), 
and who am I forgetting oh yes........ Bob Henning (He would be my brother 
if I had one and yes my daugther still has the car you drew with her at 
dinner) You guys are the best and you make my job so much easier and 
honestly your just a great bunch of guys, great bunch of friends and I look 
forward to hearing you call out the balls and strikes next year all over 
the country. I hope I didn't forget anyone or I'm going to get tossed next 
year for sure.

Dave Blackburn, Ferdi Nellisen, Ron Chambers, Billy Smith, and all the 
others that I did my best to keep up to date on the streaming broadcasts 
you guys work hard, I see it every day behind the scenes and I enjoy my 
time with each of you and thanks Billy for putting me on the air for a 
couple innings. All of us thank you for those broadcasts, I know I listened 
to everyone of them from Diamond 2.

I think those are all the Thank You's so on to what I personally thought of 
the Tournament. First off Congrats to County Materials and the Farm Tavern, 
what can we say about this championship game. It the first that went extra 
innings since I believe when Zack (we missed you) and Merideth went 11 
innings I believe in 95' that was the year Peter was 1/2 inch from winning 
his championship in Sioux City and one of my fondest memories in all the 
World Tournaments I have been to since I shook the hand of Ty Stofflet and 
got him to sign a ball in Allentown in 84'. This game you two teams played 
on Saturday late afternoon was simply a classic and in 20 years when I'm 
going back to try and remember all the special games I have seen at a 
ballpark this will be close to the top of the list. County Materials 
congrats on your World Championship.

Another amazing game hardly anyone saw because well we were playing late 
into the night was the 11 inning game between Keating's Fitness and Pueblo 
Bandits. Hillhouse and Manley went toe to toe, Hillhouse had a no-hitter 
into the 11th and Manley I think into the 9th. That is off the top of my 
head and I'm not looking to make sure. This game was great to watch, it was 
a classic.

All in all I spent 113 hours of actual time at the park, another 14 in 
meetings and registration or various other duties so If I went into every 
game that I enjoyed we would be here a while those are the two that off the 
top of my head stuck with me.

I guess that is about it for this year. Thanks to all the fans who came to 
the park to watch, all the players and teams who come each year and to 
everyone who tuned in on Al Doran and I's webcams that were broadcasting 
almost every game of the tournament over yahoo, something I'm sure we will 
continue to do and I will prolly add in the weekend tournaments I do. Also 
thank's to everyone who turned into all our streaming broadcasts, as I said 
earlier those guys are great and work hard to bring you the games.

Thanks again to everyone who helped make this ISC World Tournament a success.

Four Elected To The I.S.C. Hall of Fame

A pair of left-handed pitchers, a super-nimble shortstop who could HIT, and 
a sponsor of an ISC World Championship team and host of an ISC World 
Tournament were elected to the International Softball Congress Hall of Fame 
during meetings of the ISC Board of Directors in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

ED KLECKER of California was an outstanding pitcher who led the Lakewood, 
CA. Jets to the World Tournament title in 1973.  In that event, he was an 
All-World selection.  He was also the tourney's "Outstanding Pitcher" and 
the "Most Valuable Player" of the tournament held in Rock Island, Illinois.

Klecker was also an All-World Tournament pitcher in 1972 and again in 1974 
with the Lakewood Jets. In both the 1972 and 1973 World Tournaments, he led 
all hurlers in strikeouts.

BRAD UNDERWOOD of Ontario was a dominant left-handed pitcher.  He was four 
times an All-World Tournament choice while throwing for Canadian Tire of 
Owen Sound, Ontario, and All Car of Green Bay, Wisconsin.  In the 1991 and 
1994 World  Tournaments he was selected as the event's "Outstanding Pitcher".

In the 1991 World Tournament, Underwood turned in a performance for the 
ages when he beat defending champion Seattle 2-1; threw a perfect game 
against Aurora; tossed a 22-inning 1-0 shutout over Santa Rosa; and blanked 
Sioux City for nine innings in the championship contest - - - all in a span 
of 32 hours!

GREG SEPULVEDA of California was a splendid shortstop.  He starred with 
several teams but was at his best while earning All-World Tournament 
laurels in both 1984 and 1985 with the Lancaster, California, 
Chameleons.  He was a big man who looked like he should have been playing 
either first or third base, but he was a blur covering ground at shortstop 
and could go get 'em and run the bases with the very best!

Sepulveda's talents led the Chameleons to a third place World Tournament 
finish in 1984 and to the runner-up spot in 1986.

ART GILLIS of Michigan holds the unique distinction of having captured an 
I.S.C. World Championship (in 1979) as sponsor of the Saginaw Michigan 
Bolters and also having served as the host and sponsor of an I.S.C. World 
Tournament.  The latter event, played in 1981 in Saginaw, is believed by 
many to have been the greatest World Tournament in the proud history of the 
International Softball Congress.  Gillis was the first ever Michigan ISC 
commissioner.  He also served later as an ISC commissioner for the state of 
Florida.

These four ;men, heroes to followers of fastball, will be inducted into the 
ISC Hall of Fame in August, 2006, during the World Tournament in Kitchener, 
Ontario.

Power Pool Concept Scores a Hit - - But Not With Everyone

"I didn't like the idea at first."

"Initially I was shocked."

"Don't mind it as much as when I first saw it."

"I still like the double elimination better."

Those are some of the comments heard around the park in Eau Claire from 
fans and players as they shared their feelings about the "power pool" 
concept for the round robin portion of the 2005 ISC World Tournament.

JERRY STANGL, a 73 year old retired postal employee from Coon Rapids, Iowa, 
has been coming with his wife to the World Tourney for over 35 years.

"We plan our vacation around it," says Stangl.  And how does he feel about 
the latest wrinkle in the format?

"I didn't like the idea at first, but having seen it in action, I like it 
better.  It gave the non-power teams a better chance of making the 
playoffs", says Stangl.  "I still like the old style (double elimination) 
better, but with the new format you get a chance to watch some much better 
games early."

PHIL REIMER of Landmark, Manitoba (He claims it is "the fastball hotbed of 
Manitoba") calls the power pool format "fine - - - it has cut down on the 
number of mercy games".  Reimer is watching his first World Tournament.  He 
questions whether there are "too many teams."

CARL LIND of Crystal Falls, Michigan, has been coming to the tournament for 
15 years.  His reaction:  "I was shocked when I saw the change to the power 
pools."

But Lind continues, "I take my hat off to the ISC.  They are doing their 
best to save the game.  They are trying valiantly, so we really shouldn't 
be shocked at seeing major changes come."  Lind admits that he "comes later 
to the tournament" since the ISC has gone to pool play.  He sums up his 
feelings with, "You are doing your best to save the game - - now if we 
could only get the owners of the teams to go along."

Certainly not everyone agrees with the power pools - - or with round robin 
play in general.

"I've always liked double elimination better," says LEO LOWE of Garretson, 
South Dakota, who has been coming to the ISC since Saskatoon in 1987.

"I like it, but I still like double elimination better," says BRUCE SIMPSON 
of Alleston, Ontario, who has seen 24 World Tourneys.

Simpson adds, "I don't mind sitting here watching good teams play and I'd 
rather see teams fairly well matched than watch one team beat the bejeebers 
out of another."

GUY GREENWALL and BOB GOULDEN, who played for the Edmonton Express, agree 
that "the power pool gives a sense of fairness.  It sets up some upset 
possibilities and makes pool play more competitive with better 
match-ups."  Goulden observed that "I didn't mind it as much as when I 
first found out about it.  I thought it was a bad idea, but now that I've 
seen it, I think it is better than I had expected it to be."

The power pool concept (placing the top 10 teams all in two pools and 
guaranteeing each of them a place in the playoffs) is likely to be 
continued when the 2006 edition of the ISC World Tournament is contested in 
Kitchener in August.

New face on Softball New Zealand board
Sunday August 28th 2005

With a passion for the game of softball and a desire to contribute to the 
sport Lyn Lockhart this weekend won election to the board of Softball New 
Zealand at the sports annual AGM and conference.

Sport has always been a part of life of Lockhart and after playing softball 
during her school years she returned to the game in support of her 
daughters initially taking up roles in team management.

Nominated by the Canterbury Softball Association Lockhart comes from a 
background in human resources and says she chose to stand for the board 
because she had a desire to give something back to the sport.

"My family have got a lot out of sport and I think I have a practical set 
of skills to offer the board and I want to give a return where I see the 
best value," said Lockhart.

Moving into her first term on the board Lockhart has a real focus on 
women's softball and would like to see the women's game returned to the 
successful days of the 1980's when the White Sox claimed the world title.

"I have very passionate views about women in sport and I would like to see 
the White Sox team back up where they have been and achieving at the levels 
that our men are achieving. If softball is to survive as a sport we need to 
have both out Black Sox and our White Sox achieving at the highest level," 
said Lockhart.

Along with Lockhart's election to the board sitting member Rex Capil from 
Southland and Ray Tibbits were both re elected to the board.

I've read some of the comments of the fans of the game and I must attest I
did my own little poll and there were some simalarities in answers and
some disagreements.   I have come to know  a pretty nice base of fans over
the last couple of years traveling with the CT team.  We've gone to some
big name tournaments with all the big boys and have gotten to know some of
the fans who go to these tournaments.  Not just the ones who show up at
the "big show" i.e. the WT.  The fans that show up on the circuit I'm
talking about.  I talked to many many people and asked them what they
thought about the new set up.  Whether they new I was with a "power pool"
team or not I don't know.  When I asked what they thought about the new
style, 90% of them said we need a double knock out to determine a true
champ.  I couldn't agree more but I know the ISC's thinking on why we
can't go back to that but without a doubt that is the best format.
I talked to, in my opinion, the best fastpitch fan in North America, a lot
in Eau Claire on his thoughts of the format.  I won't release his name
simply because I didn't ask if I could quote him but my feelings are
exactly the same as his.
I asked how he liked the new format.  First words were, we need to go back
to the double knockout.  This is a guy who's associated with no team, just
a fan of the game and is at all the big tourney's.  He also says and I
totally agree, this set up is made to maybe see the two best teams not in
the final.  "I traveled many miles to see the best two teams in the final
and that is what I want to see."  I got this quote on Wednesday night
before the bracket was released.  It just so happened that the best two
teams, Farm and County were in the final.  I'm with CT and I'll say that
they were the best two teams this year.  It just so happend that the #1
and #2 team were in the final but with this format I don't think that is
going to happen every year.  With all due respect that may not happen in
any format.
With the current format we saw 5 top 10 teams bow out in the first two
rounds.  I personally think that is because of the insane amount of energy
we put forth in the round robin portion of the tournament.  I'm talking
both physically and mentally.  We were in a power pool and I'll tell ya it
was grueling.  There was no relaxing and the pressure was on, to both win
and put on a good show for the fans.  I found myself sitting in the stands
pulling for teams in the power pools to win simply because I know what we
had to go through in the round robin.
A bye to one of the other pool winners, although well deserved, makes
little sense to me.  You play the "power pool" schedule and then have to
play an extra game to get to the sweet sixteen is brutal.  I'll speak for
our own team.  We saw Team Rainey in the first round and an extremely hot
Rick Smith and had our backs to the wall.  We manage to get by that game
and then see a pool winner in Innerkip which is an outsanding team.
Granted we got our automatic bid to the "tourney" going 2-2 but where is
the advantage?  The NCAA basketball tournament doesn't say, OK Duke and
Kansas, you guys play on the opening night so we see a good game and then
win or lose you go to the sweet sixteen.
this is my 2 cents worth and it may not mean much but I don't like the
current format.  I speak for myself only and whether my teammates and
sponsor agree with me I'm not sure.  But I am a fan as well as  member of
an incredible team.

thanks

Kobras claim Bantam Girls Eastern

Canadian championship in nail biter

Desousa plays hero with bottom of the seventh RBI triple

By Pat Healey

Media Officer

Bantam Girls Eastern Canadians

ALBERTON - For all the offensive numbers the Ancaster Cyclones (Ont. 
No One) and Kingston Kobras (Ont. No Two) put up during the round 
robin of the 2005 Tignish Credit Union Bantam Girls Eastern Canadian 
Championship here, the bats were silent in the all Ontario0final 
Sunday afternoon.

It took a bottom of the seventh RBI triple of the bat of Kaitlyn 
Desousa and an 11-strikeout , two-hitter performance from MVP Chelsey 
Schoenfeldt to earn the thrilling 1-0 win held at Memorial Park.

Whitney Desarmia (2-3) reached base to leadoff the seventh with just 
the Kobras second hit of Cyclones Sarah Ramage, the top pitcher for 
the playoffs. Desousa hit a 1-1 offering over shortstop Lauren 
Mazzuca's head and into left field and Desarmia wasn't stopping as 
she plated the game's only run, ending the game.

The game was pretty even with neither pitcher or devfense allowing 
anything to get by them. Kingston looked more relaxed then they did 
in their semifinal with L'Express du Laval, where they had a scare 
but rallied for the win to advance.

Ancaster faced a scary moment early in the game when Mazzuca went to 
track down a foul ball, and caught the ball then hit the third base 
side oft he fence and stayed on the ground as her teammates and 
coaches rushed to see if she was ok to end the second inning. She 
would get up and stay in the game after getting her wind back.

"That was a truly unbelievable game," one Kingston coach said after the game.

The Cyclones manage just two hits of a solid Schoenfeldt, with Ramage 
and Veronica Berrie getting the only hits.

Greco'Player of the Game' Schoenfeldt went the distance, walking two 
and fanning 11 to earn the huge win. Ramage, named the Capt. Sub 
'Player of the Game', allowed three hits, two walks while striking 
out four batters.

The Cyclones got to the championship with an 8-2 win over Holly Denny 
and the Judique Celidh Royals (N.S. No. One) behind Lauren Mazzuca's 
big bat and three RBI game while Kingston mercied L'Express du Laval 
11-4 after trailing 3-1 at one point and rallying on the heels of 
Emily Taylor's top game going 3-4 with two runs scored and three RBI 
as Amelia Keech picked up the win.

In Saturday's finale to the round robin, Chelsa Lidstone and Ashtin 
Arsenault teamed to lead the West Prince Cavendish Produce Athletics 
to an 11-2 defeat of Cardigan; Whitney Desarmia hit a grand slam to 
blow it open as the Kobras downed Chaleur of New Brunswick (N.B. 1) 
8-0; Laval ended the round robin with a 6-2 win over Chaleur; the 
Cornwall Cougars mercied Au P'tit Mousse Peninsule Acadienne 9-2; 
Ancaster downed Sud Ouest in their second game of the day 12-8 before 
the Dragons edged the Summerside Stingers 7-6 to eliminate the 
Stingers thanks to a Raven Meloche game winning RBI single.

In the crossovers, L'Express du Laval 15, Sud Ouest Dragons 7 
(playing their third straight game back to back to back) and Judique 
Celidh Royals 3, Cornwall Cougars 0;

L'EXPRESS CLAIMS BRONZE OVER JUDIQUE, N.S.

Alex Voyer hit three doubles, driving homefour RBI as the L'Express 
du Laval mercied the Royals 10-3 in five innings to claim the bronze 
medal. Judique finishes fourth overall at the tournament.

Julie Delorme (3-3, two runs scored), Joelle Doirion (2-3, two 
doubles, two RBI) and Marylyne Cloutier (2-3, run scored, double) led 
the attack.

For the Royals, who had high hopes but were playing immediately after 
their semifinal game, Maddy Syliboy, player of the game, went 3-for-3 
with a run scored, triple, RBI; Katie MacDonald (2-2, double, RBI) 
and Christina Avery (1-3, stolen base).

Winning pitcher Melanie Provencale went five innings allowing three 
runs on seven hits, walking two and striking out six.

Losing pitcher Christina Avery went four innings, scattering nine 
runs on 10 hits, walking two. Holly Denny pitched an inning allowing 
one run two hits, striking out one.

Laval came to the Easterns as Quebec's No. Two entry, and seemed to 
come together as a group as Saturday came around and gelled at the 
right moment to pick up the third place finish.

KOBRAS DOMINATE AWARDS

The Kingston Kobras are heading back to Ontario with an arm load of 
hardware, including the 2005 Tignish Credit Union Bantam Girls 
Eastern Canadian Championship,

and the bulk of the hardware Sunday.

They weren't the only ones with multiple awards as Quebec No. One Sud 
Ouest Dragons, Quebec No. Two and bronze medallists L'Express du 
Laval and the Judique Celidh Royals of Nova Scotia walked away with 
two bantam girls all star awards each.

The Kobras (Ont. No. Two) walked away with awards for top pitcher, 
top batter, all star pitcher, first base and third base.

West Prince Cavendish Produce Athletics Ashtin Arsenault took home

Instead of a perfect diamond, Trevor Wardell gave his wife Lisa 
something more rare for her birthday.
The St. Thomas Evergreen Centennials pitcher worked a perfect game in 
an 11-0 mercy in five innings over the Quebec Eastmain Fireballs at 
the 2005 Canadian Senior men's fastball championships Sunday at the 
Douglas Tarry Complex Sunday night.
"A little present for her," said Wardell. "I couldn't take her 
anywhere so I took her to the ball park."
Lisa watched her husband strike out eight of 15 batters.
"It was a good game. I just hit my spots," Wardell said. "I felt good 
going in and after the first inning I felt pretty loose. Three 
strikeouts in the first was a good start and I continued from there."
The Eastmain Fireballs, from near James Bay, were overmatched facing 
a team with seven players with Canadian National team experience.
"They're a young team, a new team," Wardell said. "They don't play 
the competition we have here in Ontario. It's good for them to come 
here and get the experience."
Rob O'Brien led the Centennials' 14-hit attack with a single, double 
and triple, drew one walk and scored three times.
"It was a fun game," O'Brien said. "We had an objective to do and we 
went out and hit the ball early and got a three run lead. We hit the 
pitches right through. A lot of guys had hits and I was fortunate to 
have three."
Jeff Seed, Ryan Wolfe and Tyler Lessard each had two hits and two 
RBIs. Mike Taylor, Rob O'Brien, Craig Crawford and Kevin Lynch also 
drove in runs.
Chris Payne chipped in with a pair of hits and Crawford scored twice.
Quebec's Ray Shanoush took the loss, allowing 11 runs, seven earned, 
on 13 hits and one walk over four innings.
St. Thomas improved to 2-0 with a pair of shutout wins.
"We're getting everybody together and the boys are starting to gel 
and hopefully by the end of the week we'll be all together," Wardell said.
Rob O'Brien gets the call to pitch for the Centennials in their 2 
p.m. game today against the Mulgrave Eagles from Nova Scotia.
"We haven't given up a hit yet, so a lot of pressure on me (today)," 
O'Brien said. "Things are working well but it's still early in the week."
Nova Scotia also owns a 2-0 record after beating the P.E.I. Kinkora 
Hitmen 9-2 and Vancouver Grey Sox 3-1.

St. Thomas off to hot start

Evergreen Centennials hurler Frank Cox fires a no hitter against the 
Edmonton Express.
<mailto:ebender at lfpress.com>ERIC BENDER, London Free Press Sports

Canadian championships are becoming rather routine for Frank Cox but 
his fourth one this decade would be just fine.

Cox, who helped hurl his hometown Owen Sound team to titles in 2000, 
2002 and 2003, reeled off a no-hitter yesterday afternoon to get his 
adopted St. Thomas Evergreen Centennials off to a 2-0 first-game win 
at this year's Canadian senior men's fastball championship.

The victim was Edmonton Express pitcher Darrell Tilley, who was down 
1-0 after the fourth inning. Legendary pitcher Darren Zack took over 
in the fifth but his presence couldn't inspire the Express to deliver 
and St. Thomas added an insurance run off him.

Owen Sound's team disbanded after the 2003 season and Cox, like many 
elite fastballers with arms or bats for hire, moved around.

"I played with Ryan Wolfe (St. Thomas centre-fielder) with Broken Bow 
(a U.S. team) and I knew him," Cox said of his decision to play with 
St. Thomas in the Canadians.

Last year, Cox played for Halifax. "And I've played with Sean O'Brien 
(catcher). The rest of them I've played against and I know them that way."

"We have a solid team and solid defence but we've got to get some 
better hitting," said Cox. "We were a little slow starting but we've 
not played for a couple of weeks." The Evergreen Centennials played 
six tournaments this year.

Cox, 35, walked the first batter he faced but was flawless from then 
on and fanned 11 en route to a complete-game seven innings.

Last night, the Centennials beat the Eastmain Fireballs from Quebec 
11-0 as pitcher Trevor Wardell tossed a five-inning perfect game to 
give St. Thomas a 2-0 record after the tourney's opening day.

The first game against Edmonton, before just shy of 1,000 fans at the 
Doug Tarry complex in southeast St. Thomas, was won in the second 
inning when designated player Rob O'Brien walked. He was replaced by 
pinch-runner Kevin Lynch who moved to second on Brian Harvey's 
sacrifice bunt and took third on a wild pitch. Second baseman Tex 
Lessard's single to centre scored Lynch for the only run the 
tournament host team needed.

St. Thomas had six hits in the opener. Three were given up by Tilley 
and three by Zack, in the sixth inning.

With two out, Rob O'Brien hit the longest ball of the game, a double 
to the centre- field fence. First baseman Harvey hit a teaser that 
dropped between the Edmonton infield and outfield and scored O'Brien 
from second for the 2-0 lead.

"There were not a lot of hits today," said Harvey, who is from London.

Harvey and Evergreen Centennials coach Bill Horne had been expecting 
to face Zack from the start. However, Zack was late arriving and 
didn't have adequate time to warm up.

"When you've got a tight game like 1-0 you bring in Zack," said Harvey.

"We knew they (Edmonton) had a good team and they have Zack," said 
Horne. "Cox was exceptional. Our bats have to get going more."

No one is expressing any cockiness about winning the 2005 title.

"There are five or six teams here that can win it," said Harvey. "In 
this kind of game one hit can make the difference."

Express pitcher has 18-hour drive to make opener

<mailto:ebender at lfpress.com>ERIC BENDER, Free Press Sports Reporter

Was he the starter or wasn't he?

Darren Zack, the Roger Clemens or Babe Ruth of fastball, wasn't 
supposed to arrive at the Canadian men's fastball championship in St. 
Thomas until today. His team this year, the Edmonton Express, wasn't 
expecting him.

But when he called to say he could get to St. Thomas yesterday, the 
Express thought they could start him. Still, Zack, 45, was a tad late 
in arriving and wasn't sufficiently warmed up to start. He came on in 
the fifth inning of Edmonton's opening-game 2-0 loss to the host St. 
Thomas Evergreen Centennials.

"I was up at James Bay doing a clinic," said the big hurler from 
Garden River, on a reserve near Sault Ste. Marie.

Over the years he has taught pitching on reserves around the country. 
He drove 18 1/2 hours from James Bay to catch the opener in St. Thomas.

"There was supposed to be one more clinic but the last one was 
cancelled so I was able to leave," Zack said with a chuckle. "The 
whole community decided to pack up and go hunting."

Zack also pitched for Edmonton last year.

"Kelly Wenstrom is my catcher. He said come back next year and we'll 
try to win it this time. Here I am," Zack said.

The Saskatoon Black Sox are the defending champions.

Laramie,Wyoming.


Al,
    We would like to announce the Rocky Mountain Wood Bat Classic to 
held September 24,25 in Laramie,Wyoming.
    There is a 3 game guarantee with a $200 entry fee.  There will be 
no aluminum bats allowed.
    The following teams have committed to play:
                   1.  Kings               Salt Lake City,Utah
                   2.  Cedar Ridge         Vernal,Utah
                   3.  Farmington Natives  Farmington,New Mexico
                   4.  Warriors            Fort Collins,Colorado
                   5.  Brown and Gold      Laramie,Wyoming
                   6.  Fremont Motors      Rawlins,Wyoming
                   7.  Rebels              Rock Springs,Wyoming

    This is the first event to be sponsored by the Rocky Mountain 
Woodbat Association.
    The Associations title speaks for itself, we will be playing with 
wooden bats,a Diamond D-100 Ball,and the official strike zone of the 
armpits to the knees.
    If you come to play, you will not see the ridiculous belt down to 
somewhere below the knees that some umpires associations have forced 
down the throat of the mens fastpitch game.  All umpires that have 
agreed to come and enjoy a weekend of fastpitch have agreed to call 
the game in the manner that we have asked.
    The reason for this association is the culmination of a series of 
events over the past 3 years that convinced us that the fastpitch 
associations have dropped the ball on the safety of their players. 
The list of pitchers that have taken serious injuries from balls is 
growing every weekend.  We have decided that we are not going to 
stand by until someone dies to make a change.
    We are tired of seeing our friends and acquaintances getting hit 
in the face with line drives off of "Legal" Bats.
    I was of the opinion several years ago on the Blue Ribbon panel 
of the ISC, that we could control the speed of the game with the 
ball.  I Was Wrong...
    By controlling the speed of the game with the bat and allowing 
the strike zone to be elevated to where it should be...should help 
bring more pitchers into the game.

    If you are interested in playing in the Wood Bat Classic or in 
future tournaments or Travel Leagues in the Rockies,Feel free to give 
me a call at 303-475-8142.  You may also reach Marty Mckinney about 
the Wood Bat Classic at 307-742-0551

Thank You,

Minesing Takes Game #1



The first game of the SRFL finals took place last night at the Wigwam 
in Wyevale.  Although the weather was ominous throughout, the 
fastball was exciting all night.



In what turned out to be another pitchers duel between these two 
clubs it was Minesing who struck first with a run in the top half of 
the first inning.  That run would be the lone run in the game as 
Minesing ace Kurt Glover shut down the Tribe bats the whole way 
through surrendering just 6 hits, while striking out 9 on his way to 
the complete game shutout.  On the losing end Jason Giffen gave up 
just 4 hits and struck out 14 Minesing batters to collect the 
loss.  Three of Minesing's hits came off the bat of Paul Priest, who 
also scored the only run of the game.  Meanwhile for the Tribe Trace 
Leonard and Graham McNabb both had multi hit games, but it was all 
for naught as the Tribe could not string any kind of rally together, 
and as such will travel to Barrie on Thursday night down 1 game to none.

 From Bench Talk
Mix 106.5 FM, Owen Sound


The Canadian Men's Fastball Championships are underway in St Thomas, Ontario.

And while I'm sure the games are competitive, there's an equally 
competitive game taking place around the action, and centering on the 
city of Owen Sound.

Quickly, there are 2 local factions attempting to facilitate the 
establishment of a Senior Men's team back in Owen Sound.

Faction # 1 is looking at an operating budget of about $ 100,000 
Canadian, with the ultimate goal being a return to the National 
Championship for Owen Sound.

Faction # 2 is an American based group represented by different Owen 
Sound interests.

This second group has a target budget of $ 200,000 U.S. and their 
ultimate goal is to attempt to win the I.S.C. World Championships.

Both parties have already conducted, or attempted to conduct, their 
meetings with the potential money men in the scenario.

The interesting thing when you look at the names and the money 
involved in the proposals is that the real power broker could be 
Frank Cox, an Owen Sounder, who is among the elite pitchers in the 
game and has expressed an interest in playing at the same level, but 
reamining a little closer to home.

Someone will win the Canadian Championship at St Thomas this week.

Somebody else may end up committing to a new fastball team in Owen Sound.

I'm Fred Wallace

Wardell keeps Fawcetts off
Pitcher maintains spotless record at Canadians

Tuesday August 30, 2005
By Rob Ross
Times-Journal staff
Pitcher Trevor Wardell remains spotless.
For the second consecutive day, Wardell threw a shutout as the 
Centennials blanked the Charlottetown Fawcetts 2-0 Monday night at 
the Tarry Complex.
Wardell tossed a complete game two-hitter striking out six batters 
and walking one. On Sunday he recorded a perfect game against 
Eastmain Fireballs.
"Things were working again," said Wardell. "It's just keep the ball 
in the park, keep the ball down, that's the main job. Let the boys 
make the outs."
The Centennials did all their damage in the third inning with RBI 
singles from shortstop Chris Jones and designated player Rob O'Brien.

National softball league on the move
Wednesday August 31st 2005

The New Zealand Softball National League is moving to a new spot in 
the sporting calendar for the 2005/06 season with the competition 
confirmed for a November start.

For the upcoming season the National League will start on November 
19th with three weekends of round robin play ahead of the finals 
series to be held in Wellington on December 17th and 18th.  The 
league will have a one week break in the first week of December to 
allow time for other scheduled softball tournaments and events.

The National League in its current form began in March of 2003 and 
has been held three times over the past three seasons with the event 
changing timeslots each season. Last season the National League ran 
from March through to the first week of April.

New Zealand Softball chief executive Dale Eagar says the decisions to 
change the time slot for the league came after a review process and 
consultation. One reason put forward for the change included the 
congestion of the sporting calendar in March.

"We are looking for a window of opportunity in the sporting calendar 
where we are not competing with other major events and can look to 
achieve some greater exposure," said Eagar.

Another reason put forward for the change of dates was the busy 
softball calendar and the fact the pinnacle of the season for many 
players is the national club championships held at the end of the 
season in March and the desire not to clash and interfere with that.

The National League is a franchise based competition for the elite 
men's and women's players in the country with a player draft in use 
to ensure the country's best players get the opportunity to show case 
themselves. In the National League last season there were seven teams 
in the men's competition which Wellington won while Hutt Valley took 
out the women's title against five other teams.

You know the deal, these are just ballyard rumours, stories heard 
from ball players and fans. There may be no truth to these at all, 
but since we have heard them multiple times now, its time to put them 
on the table and share them with the rest of the fans.

This is the time of the year we hear these stories. They start at the 
ISC World Tournament, and this year in the warm environment of Eau 
Claire Wisconsin, they grew like mushrooms. They are still growing 
wild this week at the Canadians in St. Thomas, Ontario.  Fred Wallace 
let the biggest one out of the bag yesterday with his story about a 
new senior team in Owen Sound, Ontario for 2006.



What we have heard:

Peter Porcelli to leave the bench and become the GM of the new Owen Sound team.

Dennis Bruckert to be the coach of the new Owen Sound team.

Players: Frank Cox, Sean O'Brien, Rob O'Brien, Mike Taylor, to name a 
few, to play for new Owen Sound team.
May also include some other Ontario talent playing for the Farm. May 
include Trent Rubley, a buddy of PP.



6 Nations might not be with Z's services next year as originally reported.

Calgary wants to continue their team by joining with Edmonton.

Aspen and Zenon Winters are talking.

Broken Bow continue their quest for the perfect partner and joining 
up with Bill Horne and his St Thomas team.

Kitchener Twins talking to a select few at Canadians including a 
catcher but will keep most of current
lineup for hosting the 2006 ISC's in Kitchener.

Zack still as imposing as a top gunfighter


<mailto:jkernaghan at lfpress.com>JIM KERNAGHAN, Free Press Sports 
Columnist   2005-08-31 02:04:24



The gunfighter analogy is not misplaced. Darren Zack puts form to the 
characterization as he strides across the infield to the showdown.

He is not the dreaded hired gun of a few years back, but the man 
considered the world's top fastball pitcher for nearly a decade is 
still mighty fast. And smart.

Zack is 45 and his presence in the Canadian senior men's fastball 
championship at the Douglas J. Terry Sports Complex is another stop 
in a long career spanning national and international championships.

Organizers have plan to weather any delays


<mailto:sgreen at lfpress.com>STEVE GREEN, Free Press Sports 
Reporter   2005-08-31 02:04:12



ST. THOMAS -- It's tough to watch when you've got one eye on the 
weather, but that's what organizers were doing yesterday at the 
national men's fastball championship.

With hurricane Katrina's remnants poised to make waves in Southern 
Ontario and dark clouds gathering last night, it was just a question 
of how much rain the area would get and when.

It arrived around 9 p.m., but the tournament dodged a bullet by 
getting all of the day's games in. Today may be a different matter.

Eagles still in hunt at Canadians

The Innerkip squad beats Charlottetown, but drops to 3-2 with a loss to Jarvis.

ST. THOMAS -- Bill Ebel missed his shift at work yesterday. He was 
putting in a little overtime at the ballpark.

The outfielder for the Innerkip Bright's Cheese House Eagles was to 
start at 4 p.m. at LTV Copper Weld in Woodstock, but the Eagles 
needed 10 innings to edge Charlottetown Fawcett's 7-6 at the Canadian 
senior men's fastball championship.

Hi Al, 
 
The Newboro Rideau Insurance 56ers defeated the Lansdowne Longhorns last night 7 - 4 to win the North Leeds Mens Fastball League Championship 6 points to 2.  Jeff Rice started the game for Newboro and went 3 innings leaving with a 3 - 1 lead.  DP Tim Seed hit a two-run homerun for Newboro in the 1st inning to give Newboro an early lead.  Lansdowne scored 2 runs in the 5th to tie the game at 3 but Newboro scored 4 runs in the 6th to seal the victory.  Troy McLean picked up the win for Newboro.  This is Newboro's first Championship win since 1999.

Mystery Bluenose softballers on fire at nationals

By MONTY MOSHER / Sports Reporter

Who the heck are the Mulgrave Eagles?

"That's what everybody is asking up here," Eagles head coach Dave Houghton 
said Tuesday afternoon.

The Eagles have been the early story at the Canadian senior men's fast-pitch 
championship in St. Thomas, Ont. They never played a game as a unit before a 
pre-tournanent exhibition game on Friday.

On Tuesday morning, the team moved to 4-0 in the 13-team draw by downing 
Prince George, B.C., and former national team pitcher Mike Piechnik 9-2 in 
five innings. The Eagles are the No. 11 seed.

"We're not supposed to be 4-0," said Houghton, a long-time head coach of the 
Halifax-Windsor Keith's program. "I could have got 50-to-one odds on that at 
the start of the week. We're not supposed to be beating these teams, no way 
in the world. "

The hot streak ended with a 5-1 loss to Newfoundland in the late draw, but 
the Nova Scotians are still sailing toward the playoff round.

The Nova Scotia all-star team has no connection to Mulgrave, or Eagles. Many 
of the team members have had to be told where Mulgrave is on the map.

Houghton said the team has an anonymous sponsor who wanted the name as a 
memorial tribute to a family member.

The core roster is made up of former Keith's players, familiar names like 
Tim Macumber, Brian Urquhart and Ricky Leblanc.

The Keith's program stood at the top of Maritime fast-pitch for much of a 
decade, but were never able to win national gold. They disbanded after the 
2004 tournament in St. Croix, Hants Co.

Mike Grant and Robbie Doiron are ex-junior players out of Antigonish. Joel 
Isenor is a former junior from Hants County. Chris Hopewell played for years 
for the Brookfield Elks.

Joe Kelly and Darrell Walsh are pick-ups out of Newfoundland. Pitcher Grant 
Patterson, from Toronto, failed to land any attention from any of the big 
Ontario teams and joined the Eagles.

Former national team player Harvey Stevenson, one of the few big names on 
the roster, never showed up in St. Thomas.

"Everybody here has made a contribution," said Houghton. "The difference 
this year is no one is waiting for somebody to be parachuted in."

Macumber and Urquhart have always been capable pitchers, but seldom got the 
ball in big games for Keith's when Jody Hennigar, Gerald Muizelaar or a big 
import were around.

Urquhart pitched a five-hit shutout on Monday as Mulgrave beat host St. 
Thomas, the pre-tournament favourite, 1-0. He also pitched the last three 
innings of Tuesday's victory to get the win and has yet to allow a run.

"They have 10 guys from the national team," Houghton said of St. Thomas. 
"We've got five guys from the provincial team."

Macumber throttled Vancouver on Sunday and hit a home run to help his own 
cause in a 3-1 win.

"There's always been somebody ahead of guys like Tim and Brian," said 
Houghton. "But they've really stepped it up."

Leblanc had a double and two singles, Macumber a triple and single and 
Hopewell a double and single as part of a 12-hit attack against Prince 
George.

In the late game, Ward Gosse checked Mulgrave on five hits and John Farrell 
homered twice off Macumber. Jim Midgley had an RBI single for the Eagles.

The top eight teams advance to the playoff round beginning Friday. The best 
four from the round-robin will have double life in the playoff bracket.

Crawford defeats ex-mates

Wednesday August 31, 2005


By Rob Ross
Times-Journal staff
Craig Crawford has memories and friends from winning the championship 
with the Saskatoon Black Sox a year ago.

That was all put aside Tuesday as Crawford was instrumental in 
helping the St. Thomas Evergreen Centennials beat his former team 3-1 
at the Canadian senior men's fastball championship.

Fastball out of Pan Ams

Participants vying for the Canadian title in St. Thomas were disappointed.

Reporter   2005-09-01 03:08:32



ST. THOMAS -- A ripple of resignation spread on the fourth day of the 
Canadian fastball championship yesterday with the news the Pan 
American Sports Organization has dropped fastball.

"It's a disappointment," said the head coach of the Canadian Pan Am 
program, Mark Smith. "It's been a Pan Am sport since 1979 and Canada 
was gold in every quadrennial."

ST. THOMAS -- Yesterday was an important date on the Canadian 
fastball championship calendar for the host St. Thomas Evergreen Centennials.

With a 4-1 record, two wins on the day would have put the team in the 
driver's seat with the knockout portion of the tournament coming up.

Men's Softball removed from XV Pan American Games

September 1st, 2005



(Ottawa) ? Earlier this week, Men's softball was 
removed from the 2007 Pan American Games program 
by the Pan American Sport Organization 
(PASO).  The 2007 Pan American Games were slated for Rio, Brazil.



Softball Canada President Kevin Quinn is very 
disappointed with this decision. "I am extremely 
disappointed that we have been removed from the 
2007 Pan American Games, however I am not 
completely shocked as host Brazil does not have a 
men's softball program.  Softball Canada will be 
working very hard at looking for new 
championships, such as getting on the program of the Commonwealth Games."



Softball Canada's Men's National team captured 
the Gold Medal in every Pan American Games since 
softball was added to the Games in 1979; that's seven Gold Medals in a row.



Also cut from the Pan Am Games were in-line 
hockey and racquetball.  Added to the program 
were bowling, futsal, individual roller sport, karate, squash and water skiing.



The Pan American Games are held every four years 
in the year preceding the Olympic Games. The 
first Pan American Games took place in 1951 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.



Softball Canada is the national sport governing body for softball in Canada.

Ottawa, ON

In Greater Ottawa Fastball League play, both semi-finals series ended 
after three games on Wednesday August 31.

At Fitzroy Harbour, ON: Stittsville 56ers defeated Fitzroy Harbour WC 
Electric by a score of 5-0 to sweep the series.  Dan Bradley threw 
his second consecutive shutout, with a 5-hitter.  Over 21 innings 
against Fitzroy Harbour, Bradley allowed only one run.  Bud Hanlon 
took the loss for Fitzroy with relief from Brad Porter.  Scott 
Herriott led Stittsville offensively with two infield singles, a 
stolen base and scoring two runs.  Fitzroy Harbour had several base 
runners in the game, including having the bases loaded in the fourth, 
but couldn't push any runs across for their supportive home crowd of 
about 150 fans.

At Manotick, ON: Kanata Team Easton defeated Manotick Lomor Printers 
by a score of 6-0 to sweep their semi-final series.  Dan Konkle won 
his second game of the series, with five innings of no-hit 
ball.  Trevor Lahey took the loss for Manotick.  Konkle did not allow 
a run in either of his appearances and allowed only one hit.  Bill 
Gerber had the other pitching victory for Kanata.  Dave Tubman had a 
home run for Team Easton in the Game three victory.  Manotick 
finished first overall in regular league play for the second season 
in a row, and once again was put out in the semi-finals.

Team Easton will now face Stittsville in a best-of-five final.  Team 
Easton are two-time defending champions.

In Upper Ottawa Valley Men's Fastball League play, the best-of-seven 
final is under way, with Micksburg taking game one by a score of 8-0 
over Campbell's Bay Royals on Tuesday August 30.  At Micksburg, ON, 
Corey Costello continued his outstanding season, throwing a one-hit 
shutout with eighteen strikeouts. Costello also contributed 
offensively with a home run, as did Jamey Mick.  Len Burger suffered 
his first loss of the playoffs, after winning three semi-final games 
in a row.  Game two is on Friday September 2 at 8:00PM in Bryson, 
Quebec, the playoff home for the Royals.

In other eastern Ontario area league play, at Ottawa, ON the Ottawa 
Valley Raiders repeated as the Ottawa RA Fastball League champions 
with a 2-1 series victory over the regular season leader Ottawa 
Atlantic Storm in the best-of-five final.

Extra Inning game.  Jamie Simpson struckout 
batter with bases loaded. Nova Scotia was in a 
position to tie this game even though down by 4 runs in the 8th.

Good sized crowd out to watch this game. The team 
from Nova Scotia has built up a solid following 
in St. Thomas this week with their good play and 
good manners. Beautiful afternoon in the ballpark 
and what a game to watch, for my first of the week.

Peter Porcelli on the bench as an assistant coach 
for this game, tagging along with his Smoker 
buddies Tim Macumber and Grant Patterson.  When 
the game started Porcelli was informed he was now 
a Bluenoser. He has gone to the hotel to look it 
up. Tomorrow he will be told he is also an honorary herring choker.

Al Doran - finally at the ball park.

Extra Inning game.  Jamie Simpson struckout 
batter with bases loaded. Nova Scotia was in a 
position to tie this game even though down by 4 runs in the 8th.

Good sized crowd out to watch this game. The team 
from Nova Scotia has built up a solid following 
in St. Thomas this week with their good play and 
good manners. Beautiful afternoon in the ballpark 
and what a game to watch, for my first of the week.

Peter Porcelli on the bench as an assistant coach 
for this game, tagging along with his Smoker 
buddies Tim Macumber and Grant Patterson.  When 
the game started Porcelli was informed he was now 
a Bluenoser. He has gone to the hotel to look it 
up. Tomorrow he will be told he is also an honorary herring choker.

The El Segundo Rounders, CA won the "play-in" game in the first game
of the 65 team ASA "C" National Tournament at Louis Park in Stockton,
CA, 6-5 over Twin Pines, PA. The Rounders took a 1-0 lead in the third
on a solo home run to left field by Mark Villalobos. The Rounders'
Mitch Mendenhall threw shutout ball into the 5th when Twin Pines
rallied to tie the game at 1. Gerald Pyle came on in relief and
escaped a two-on, one out jam on a spectacular double play by Michael
"Spanky" Thomas, who grabbed a hard bouncer up the middle, stepped on
second and threw to first in mid-air. First baseman Linnell Culver did
the splits to grab the back end of the double play.

The Rounders' Tommy Morton tripled off the top of the centerfield
fence in the 4th, to drive in one, but Twin Pines came back with two
to take a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the 5th. In the 6th, it was Morton
again, hitting a towering three run homer over the center field fence
with runners at second and third and two outs. Morton drove in 4 of
the Rounders 6 runs on the day. Gerald Pyle followed with an RBI
single up the middle to run the score to 6-3. After a hit batter and a
walk, a double down the left field line cut the lead to 6-5 before the
Rounders escaped with the win. Eric Geierman was 2 for 2 with two
walks, reaching base all four times.

The El Segundo Rounders won their second game of the day, an 11-3 run
rule win over the Italian Athletic Club in 6 innings. Mark Villalobos
hit his second home run of the day, and Rounders Kevin Castillo and
Linnell Culver also homered in the win. The Rounders tallied the final
run on an RBI single by Tommy Morton, driving home Linnell Culver.
Culver drove in 3 runs on the day, and Jimmy Crotzer drove in 2.

Hitmen playing tiebreaker Friday

for playoff berth at Canadians

Fawcetts finish at 1-7 after two Thursday losses

By Pat Healey,

<http://www.sourceforsportsfastpitch.com>www.sourceforsportsfastpitch.com

ST. THOMAS, ONT. - The Kinkora O'Shea's Pub and Eatery Hitmen will be 
playing in one of five tiebreakers for single life throughout the 
playoffs here Friday at the 2005 Senior Men's Canadians championship.

Following a 7-0 lost to the host St. Thomas Evergreen Centennials, 
the Hitmen finished tied with Jarvis Merchants and Innerkip Eagles at 
4-4 forcing a tie breaker to determine the eighth and final place 
team that will have single life throughout the remainder of the playoffs.

The win gave St. Thomas double life as second place finishers, behind 
8-0 Kitchener Hallman Twins.

Going into their game on "Moving Day" with the host Centennials, the 
Hitmen knew a win would leave seven teams tied at 5-3, forcing a 
tiebreaker game to determine double life, or a loss would land them 
in a tiebreaker to determine the last playoff position.

"We're playing pretty good," Pat McIver said Thursday night prior to 
their final round robin game. "Other then the first game against the 
Mulgrave Eagles ( a 9-2 loss), we've been in every game. We could 
easily have been 5-2 or 6-1 at this point."

Kinkora will play the Innerkip Bright Cheese House Eagles in 
tiebreaker three at 12 p.m. EDT with the winner going on to face the 
Merchants at 4 p.m. EDT. Kinkora beat Innerkip 2-1 Wednesday night 
behind a strong outing from Rob Schweyer. They lost to Jarvis 4-2 
earlier in the tournament. If they win both games, it sets up a fifth 
place vs eighth place game Saturday morning at 10 a.m. EDT.

Against St. Thomas, Peter Reimer (1-3 double)) and Jeff Ellsworth 
(1-2) were the only players to get a hit of an old nemesis for the 
Hitmen, Frank Cox.

Losing pitcher Rob Schweyer went the complete game allowing seven 
runs - six earned - on 10 hits, walking one and striking out six batters.

Sean O'Brien (2-3 home run) and Ryan Wolfe (2-3) led the Centennials, 
who finished at 6-2. Mark Coleman slammed a home run in the sixth inning.

St. Thomas committed three errors while Kinkora had just one.

Cox pitched a complete game, two-hitter, walking one and fanning 13 
Hitmen. Cox played at last year's Canadians in St. Croix, N.S. with 
the Halifax Keith's.

FAWCETTS FINISH AT 1-7

Meanwhile, the Charlottetown Razzy's Roadhouse Fawcetts lost twice 
Thursday, 8-3 and 5-1 to Newfoundland and Labrador Impact Signs while 
the Hitmen were looking to finish on a high with win over the host 
St. Thomas Centennials in the late game Thursday night.

Against Newfoundland, Jonathon Broderick (1-3, two RBI) , Mark 
Arsenault (1-3 run scored), Joe Fagan (1-3 run scored) and Chris 
Craig (1-3) did the damage.

Mike Bishop got tagged with the loss allowing seven runs - five 
earned - on eight hits in two and two third innings walking one and 
striking out two. Harold Kelly pitched three and one third innings 
allowing one unearned run on five hits while fanning six.

Ward Gosse picked up the win.

Later Thursday, Charlottetown lost a must win game which could affect 
the Hitmen's chances at making the crossovers, 5-1 to the Saskatoon 
Aspen Interior Black Sox.

Canadian senior men's team prospect Trevor Ethier (3-3) did all the 
damage for Aspen with a home run and five RBI.

Leading Charlottetown at the dish in the final game, played under 25 
degree celsius and cloudy skies at Tarry Complex here, was Chris 
Craig (1-3, home run,), Mark Arsenault (1-4), Joe Fagan (1-3) and 
Jason Gallant (1-3, triple)

Harold Kelly took the loss.

Charlottetown's 1-7 record left them out of the eight positions that 
qualify for playoff action of the 13 teams in the week long 
tournament. The top four have double life while the last four have 
single life for the playoffs.

Bluewater Fastball League

at Chepstow

Port Elgin Blue Devils 5 Chepstow Aces 1

Darryl Banks got the win for Blue Devils who finished the regular 
season at 22 & 2.

Rob Fawcett pitched the final inning for Port Elgin.

Aaron Whitney homered and Mike Reilly had 2 hits for Port Elgin.

Port Elgin has requested the League delay the year end championship tournament.

If the current date of September 9th to the 11th stands, the Blue 
Devils may opt out as they can only field 8 players for that weekend 
due a variety of circumstances.

Two Blue Devils are playing hockey in Europe, another is injured, 
another is taking training to become a fire fighter and two more Blue 
Devils have committed to playing at the Eastern Canadian Championships.

The Blue Devils are hoping for the concession and to have the 
tournament at Chepstow delayed one week, but stress they understand 
if the league cannot accommodate their request.

Alvinston ON

Last evening, the Alvinston Indians were on the road in Shedden, for 
game #2 of their best 2/3 opening series in St. Thomas and District 
Fastball League Action.  The local contingent were ready fro battle, 
and right off the top, batted around in the opening inning, hitting 
anything and everything, en route to an early 7-0 lead.  Mike Black 
opened the game with a walk for Alvinston, and Scott Smith came to 
the plate, and hit a two-run bomb, to get the game going.  With two 
out in the inning, Doug Charlton, and Ryan Chapman hit consecutive 
singles, before Jason Hope hit a line drive double down the line, 
scoring both Chapman, and Charlton.  Hope then crossed home for a 5-0 
lead, on an RBI single by Jeff Huston.  Then the following batter 
Marc Greenwood, crushed another two-run home run for the Indians, for 
an early 7-0 lead.  Shedden would claw back with two runs in the 
second, and one in the fifth, to close the gap to 7-3.  But, the 
Indians would respond with three runs of their own in the top fo the 
sixth, when Doug Charlton hit a bases clearing 3 RBI double into the 
gap, scoring Smith, Joe Triest, and Norm Logan.  Now with the score 
at 10-3, the Indians needed three outs in the bottom of the sixth, to 
force the seven run mercy rule, which is what they did.  The Indians 
will now await the winners of the other three series', and it is 
uncertain who will face the local squad next in playoff 
action.  Smith, Logan, Charlton, and Chapman, each had two hits in 
the victory.  Doug Charlton was the winning pitcher on the mound, 
leaving many base runners stranded, and securing the victory.

Good morning

      Is there any contact that I can make that will provide me the 
the names of the teams and their schedule of play in the midwest.  It 
seems that after the ISC championship games thes midwestern teams 
fall of the earth.

      Will appreciate any help I can get.

Thank You

Centennials smack Hitmen

Friday September 02, 2005

Rob Ross
By Rob Ross
Times-Journal staff
Not sure if Frank Cox has a nickname but the Silencer may work for 
the St. Thomas Evergreen Centennials pitcher.
Cox struck out 13 batters and tossed a complete game two-hit, one 
walk shutout as St. Thomas blanked the P.E.I. Kinkora Hitmen in the 
final game of the round robin at the Canadian senior men's fastball 
championship Thursday.
St. Thomas finishes the round robin in second place with a 6-2 record.

ST. THOMAS -- The St. Thomas Evergreen Centennials made the Canadian 
fastball championship a tad more simple last night -- at least for 
the schedulers

Farmhand gets hand from benevolent farmer

Reporter   2005-09-02 01:27:12



ST. THOMAS -- A benevolent employer is definitely a boost when one 
wants to be an elite fastball player.

Mark Coleman of Fingal has kept his fastball career alive with a 
little help from Tom Bradish, the Glanworth farmer who employs him.

NS won it in bottom of the 7th. Goguen and Rick 
Leblanc had bunt singles. New Pitcher Piechnik 
was brought in to replace McKenzie. Jim Midgley 
promptly singled scoring Goguen with the winning run.

A great game to watch, especially for first tie

a wonderful day to be in the ball park.

Vancouver came back from the dead once again, 
with the resurrection coming from Gerry Kennedy 
GRAND SLAM HOME RUN in the bottom of the seventh.

What a fantastic day in St. Thomas!

Hard to find time to visit the BIG TENT.  Instead 
of a tent city, St. Thomas has the Big Tent, one 
stop shopping, everything under one roof, concessions, souvenirs, the works.
Lots of food to choose from and the friendliest people in the world.

So far today, Pat Smith has not broken one chair!


Vancouver Grey Sox will play Mulgrave NS Eagles 
on Diamond 1 at 2pm, and I will be there!

BOYS OF SUMMER CONVENE FOR CANADIAN CHAMPIONSHIP


          For the second time in six years, the 
fastest of fast and the mightiest of the 
mighty  - the boys of summer -  have returned to 
St. Thomas to lock horns for National Softball 
supremacy and winter-long boasting rights.
Many of the elite athletes that have converged on 
this southwestern Ontario fastball mecca, have 
spent months traveling thousands of miles, 
sporting a variety of uniforms in various leagues 
and weekend tournaments across North America..
These lads of the northern climes have shared 
dugouts and playing fields with an international 
assortment of accomplished athletes. Team-mates 
and opponents have represented both hemispheres 
from contrasting climates in such diverse 
countries as  Argentina, Australia, 
Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Dominican Republic, New 
Zealand,  and our most adjacent neighbor, the U.S. of hey!
Summertime fastball is a true world sport, with 
international resumes dotting the starting 
line-up rosters of many of the top teams. The 
recent (Aug. 11-19) International Softball 
Congress (ISC) championship tournament in Eau 
Claire, Wisconsin, featuring 40 senior and 40 
intermediate teams, as well as the North American 
Fast-pitch Association (NAFA) tournament in 
Mankato, MN (Aug. 18-28) are proof that 
fast-pitch softball (fastball ) is indeed alive 
in many areas of the continent.
Really though, this week is about our Canadian 
lads. For this last gasp of summer, fastball 
pitchers and catchers, in and outfielders, all 
sharing Canadian heritage, will don 13 varying 
club uniforms representing eight of Her Majesty?s 
10 coast-to-coast provinces. The quest is for 
medals ? preferably gold ? emblematic of success 
at the 2005 Canadian Nationals.
The Centennial Sports Club of St. Thomas and the 
Host Committee, under the leadership of the 
passionate and highly organized Scott Kennedy, 
has worked diligently to welcome the 250 plus 
team members and officials, as well as several 
thousand fans. The weather-man is forecasting 
perfect conditions, and the old adage of ?let?s 
play two? will be appropriate for the dual 
playing fields at the Douglas J. Tarry Sr. Sports 
Complex. Batter Up and Play Ball!

CENTENNIAL SPORTS CLUB
The Centennial Sports Club of St. Thomas was 
formed and incorporated in 1967, Canada's 
Centennial. The main objective of the Club over 
the years has been through its support of minor 
sports, the encouragement of the youth of St. 
Thomas and the surrounding area in Elgin County 
to participate in any and all sports. Now in its 
38th year, the non profit Club currently has 135 active members.
  In the past five years alone, the Club has 
donated over $100,000 to sports organizations 
including minor and junior baseball, minor and 
junior fastball, minor and junior hockey, minor 
soccer, minor basketball, minor football, youth 
bowling, ringette, girls hockey and "Special 
Olympics" to name just some of the groups. As 
well several charities have also benefited from 
their contributions including The Canadian Cancer 
Society, The Heart and Stroke Foundation, The 
Canadian Diabetes Society, The Sunshine 
Foundation, Christmas Care and the Pinafore Park 
Memory Gardens. The Club is also the major 
sponsor for the annual Minor Hockey House League 
Christmas Tournament and the annual Childcan Golf 
Tournament with all proceeds going towards 
research and treatment for children with cancer. 
Centennial?s credo is that through the Club's 
contributions, all youth, who so desire, shall 
have the opportunity to participate in the sport of their choice.

MULGRAVE EAGLES SOAR; TWINS WIN A PAIR; ASPENS UNDEFEATED


The Mulgrave Eagles have quickly bonded to 
display excellent team play to reel off three 
straight wins, the most impressive a 1-0 blanking 
of the host and #1 (Harrah?s ranked) St. Thomas 
Evergreen Centennials. Pitcher Brian Urguhart 
tamed the Cents? bats with a masterful mound performance, scattering 5 hits.
The Kitchener Hallman Twins, with momentum from 
their impressive 3rd-place finish at the 
International Softball Congress (ISC) 
Championships in Eau Claire, WI, notched a ?pair 
of Ws?, disposing of the Edmonton Alberta Diamond 
Express 11-4 and blanking the Prince George Black Bears 6-0.
Defending champion Saskatoon Aspen Interiors 
Black Sox used timely hitting to stymie the 
?up-and-down? Vancouver Grey Sox 6-1 behind Sean 
Whitten?s 9 strikeout performance.
Saskatoon, Kitchener and Mulgrave share the top 
of the heap with perfect 3-0 records.
Mulgrave GM/Coach Dave Houghton has woven a 
cohesive unit that has impressed in three outings 
? the 1-0 win over St. Thomas has to be viewed as 
a major confidence builder, especially for a 
lineup that includes such a diverse mix of veterans and rookie talent.
Following the exciting 1-0 loss to Mulgrave, the 
host Evergreen Centennials stopped the bleeding 
in the evening?s featured game, locking horns 
with the hardworking Charlottetown Razzy?s Roadhouse Fawcetts.
Cents pitcher Trevor Wardell tossed an efficient 
2-hitter while setting down 6 batters via 
strikeouts. St. Thomas Coach Horne used his own 
version of ?Billy-Ball? in the 3rd inning. Chris 
Wismer opened with a walk, lead-off batter Ryan 
Wolfe deftly executed the perfect sacrifice bunt, 
and veteran shortstop Chris Jones pulled a pitch 
to right field, easily scoring Wismer for the 
opening run. Jones then stole 2nd base on a 
change-up and with two-out, DP Robbie O?Brien 
drilled a 1-2 count pitch to centre field, 
plating Jones. Fawcetts threatened with 
base-runners in the 7th inning, but Cents were 
resilient and win 2-0, Wardell  notches his 2nd 
victory, and Charlottetown drops to 0-3. Fawcetts 
hurler Mike Bishop deserved a better fate, 
scattering 7 hits, and the PEI squad?s winless 
record is NOT indicative of their fine play in 
the opening two days. The Fawcetts have played 
exceedingly well in losing two close matches to 
top seeds Kitchener and St. Thomas - look for the 
Fawcetts first win on Tuesday versus Innerkip Bright Cheese House Eagles.

ISSUE #4 - By John Thompson 
<mailto:sstj99 at yahoo.com>sstj99 at yahoo.com 
Wednesday August 31, 2005
KITCHENER UNDEFEATED; JARVIS nips INNERKIP in thriller
On Tuesday,  Kitchener Hallman Twins played once, 
and maintained the sole unblemished record, 
disposing of Saskatoon Aspen Black Sox by a 5-2 
score. The Twins are perfect at 4-0, in 1st 
place, one-half game ahead of the host St. Thomas 
Evergreen Centennials and Nova Scotia?s Mulgrave 
Eagles. (Mulgrave suffered its first loss, bowing 
5-1 to Newfoundland Impact Signs).
In the evening, rain may have deterred a few 
fans, but the faithful were treated to a superb 
doubleheader as the round-robin competition 
reached the half-way mark. Jarvis Merchants, in a 
re-match with Innerkip Bright Cheese House Eagles 
from the OASA Provincial Championship game 
several weeks ago, scored 6 runs in the top of 
the 1st inning. It appeared that a rout was in 
progress. However, a poised Innerkip squad scored 
a pair in their half of the inning to provide a 
hint of what was to come. The Eagles continued to 
scramble, and the fans were treated to a superb 
and determined late ? game rally. Eagles pulled 
within one, and had the tying run on base in the 
7th, before succumbing  to Andrew Phibbs, in 
relief of Scott Wagar. Final score ? Jarvis 7, Innerkip 6.
In the night-cap, defending champion Saskatoon 
suited up for their second match of the day 
against host St. Thomas. The Centennials got on 
board first, with Craig Crawford drawing a 
bases-loaded walk to open the scoring. The Black 
Sox tied it at one apiece, until the 6th when 
Crawford plated his 2nd RBI, and then scored an 
insurance run on a Sean O?Brien single. Final 
score St. Thomas 3, Saskatoon 1. (For Saskatoon, 
dropping two on Tuesday halted a 13 game winning 
streak: 10-0 last year; 3-0 in 2005).
ON FIELD COMPETITION is fierce here at Doug Tarry 
Sports Complex. And, off-field, jockeying and 
bidding is already generating interest for the 
2006 season. Word out of Owen Sound via 
Broadcaster Fred Wallace suggests that the Bay 
City, arguably the most successful Senior team of 
the new millennium (3 Canadian Championships in 
last five years), will be operational again in 
2006
. Apparently two groups are aligning 
stakeholders in two factions - #1, with an 
operating budget of $100,000 and a goal to bring 
a 6th Canadian Gold medal to Owen Sound. And 
faction #2 ? an American-based group, represented 
by ?different? Owen Sound interests, has a 2006 
Budget of $200,000 (US funds), and a goal to win 
the 2006 ISC, that will be hosted in Kitchener. 
Owen Sound?s ?deep throat? suggests that both 
parties have met with their ?money men?. Here in 
St. Thomas, a Canadian Champion will be crowned 
this week. In Owen Sound in September, perhaps a 
future Canadian Champion will be hatched. Could 
it be Owen Sound Selects, or Owen Sound Smokers, 
or Owen Sound Bay (River) Sharks, or Owen Sound 
Spirit/Travellers?  For up-dates,  check Al?s

ISSUE #5 - By John Thompson 
<mailto:sstj99 at yahoo.com>sstj99 at yahoo.com 
Thursday September 1, 2005
HALLMAN TWINS PROVE THAT ?YOGI WAS RIGHT?
Wednesday?s matinee encounter between the 
Kitchener Hallman Twins and St. Thomas Evergreen 
Centennials was not simply an emotionally 
charged, low-scoring tight encounter. It was the 
best of the Championships to date, with the 
(Harrah?s) ranked #1 and #2 teams meeting, and 
with 1st place in pool play possibly up for grabs to the victor.
Twins, victims in their minds, of a difficult 
umpire judgment, proved Yogi Berra was right 
?  ?It ain?t over until it?s over!?
       Twins and Cents had traded runs late in 
the game for a 1-1 deadlock. In the bottom of the 
6th, following a base-hit by Twins catcher Brian 
Stere,  a pinch runner, Grant Baechler, found 
himself at 3rd base. On a called ?Ball 4? to the 
next batter, which occurred on a wild pitch, 
Baechler broke for home. Veteran Cents catcher 
Craig Crawford turned to his left, and quickly 
retrieved a fortuitous bounce off the screen, and 
relayed to relief pitcher Rob O?Brien who was 
covering home plate. A well executed head-long 
slide by Baechler occurred as the tag was 
possibly applied
. and the balance of the game 
momentarily rested with the decision of the plate 
umpire. The umpire quickly called ?Out? on the 
tag.  Bedlam erupted. Twins players and 
management argued vociferously, motivated by the 
highly charged atmosphere of the moment, and 
their obvious ?vested interest? in the outcome. 
Fans were split ? for every ?straw poll vote? 
of  ?Safe?, a balancing response of  ?Out? was 
audible. Wisest fans simply opined  - ?Too close to call!?
        When action resumed, to magnify 
volatility t the situation, Cents? Crawford 
doubled to open the 7th 
.   and scored the 
go-ahead run on a single by DP/Pitcher Rob 
O?Brien. (recall, if you will, Crawford and 
O?Brien were also authors of the earlier defensive gem).
After 6.5 innings ? Cents 2,  Twins 1.
        In B-7, the first two Twins went 
quietly.  Hold on, though -  Yogi was not to be 
denied. Pitcher Rob O?Brien had work to do to 
close out the game. Facing Twins veteran lead-off 
batter Jody Eidt, battery-mates O?Brien and 
Crawford (same two, yet again)  wisely didn?t 
?serve one up? for Eidt to launch into the 
south-west wind for prompt exiting over the 
centre-field fence. Four pitches ? four called balls. Man aboard!
       People heading for the concessions paused. 
Runner on first ? two out. Scrappy Bill ?Nickel? 
Simmons stepped to the plate ? only a minor 
threat to go deep. However, Bill gapped one and 
quickly, runners were on the 
corners.                                        (Continued, Page 3
)


YOGI WAS RIGHT ? from Page #1
Twins fans were hankering. Cents fans were quietly apprehensive.
Twins lanky outfielder, Dale Levy stepped to the 
plate. First pitch
 sharply hit to right field. 
Tie game.  Next batter, Brian Stere ? single and 
Twins win 3-2 courtesy an  innocent two-out walk, and three singles.
Perhaps it was a sense of retribution from the 
softball deities to somehow ?right a wrong?. Or, 
perhaps it was just good sound late-inning 
heroics from a Twins? line-up that has 
established an August slugging reputation.
For the Hallman Twins, yes it was ?Game?. Beware, 
thought -  it?s not yet ?Set? and a long way from ?Match?.
Hold you breath for a repeat encounter on the weekend.
Yogi was right ? For that Wednesday afternoon game, it wasn?t yet over.
However, Yogi may well strike again
 Friday night?  Saturday?  Or Sunday?
Doncha ya  dare miss it!



THE ?RIGHT? CALL


UMPIRES are not always correct in their calls. 
Anyone who tells you that the umps are, is either 
an Optimist

. or perhaps another umpire!!! 
However, in those ?too close to call? situations, 
it?s important to make the ?right call?.
That?s what occurred in the Twins-Cents game 
Wednesday afternoon, the home plate  umpire made the ?right call?.
Was it correct? Perhaps not............. but it was ?right?.

IN THE STANDS
 Dick Parker, fastball legend from 
the last generation of Memorial Fastball League 
players, enjoying the action at Canadians. Dick 
was a threat to opposing teams, and especially to 
their pitchers, and was a star in the game in 
days of the OFL (Ontario Fastball League). 
Suiting up for various Woodstock senior teams,

including the Tornadoes ?  he suited up played 
until he retired at age 38, and has subsequently 
played Masters baseball. He has encountered 
former fastball legend hurler Dick Hames, who 
enjoys throwing the small ball as much from 60?6? 
as he did fastball at 46?. Dick noted that 
fastball defence doesn?t appear to be as sharp as 
in his day, but acknowledged that with the new 
technology bats, the ball is put into play with 
much more force.
.. And once more it?s 
celebration time ? for Rosanne Allan of Owen 
Sound who is using today to celebrate a ?29th? 
birthday ? Rosanne and her daughter Jessica, 
ardent fastball fans from Owen Sound are camping 
in the area, enjoying the Canadians, and are 
optimistic that Owen Sound will field a team in 
the 2006 season

  Also, greetings for long-time 
umpire Rico Carty -  Happy 65th - returning to 
hometown St. Thomas from Edmonton where he 
retired in 1998 as a truck driver. Rico had a 
distinctive style and flair and was a favorite 
with players and fans alike in the Memorial 
League and OFL and the many Canadians in which he 
officiated
 And speaking of umpires,A TIP OF THE 
FEDORA to the boys in blue, under the leadership 
of Umpire in Chief Brian Van Os of Coquitlam, BC 
and Deputy UIC Gabe Babineau of Moncton NB for 
their crews? arbitration in the multitude and 
myriad of split-second on-field decisions. While 
fans and players will never agree 100%  with the 
umpires? decisons, the on-field trios have been 
providing fair and competent officiating. 
Optimism reigns that pitchers will have adapted 
to the nuances of the umpires? interpretation of 
?toeing the rubber?, and that the elimination 
round will be free of  ?illegal pitchs?.

1ST PLACE KITCHENER UNDEFEATED
. YOGI HELPS GREY SOX
Kitchener Hallman Twins made it a perfect (8-0) 
week, punctuating an awesome August with 1st 
place in pool play complementing the team?s 
winning record (6-1) and superb ISC 3rd place finish in Eau Claire WI.
Kitchener strengthened for the Canadians with the 
addition of All-World infielder Jody Eidt, (The 
Farm Tavern, Madison, WI),  pitcher Paul Koert 
(Quaker River Sharks, Allentown PA) and traveling outfielder Dan Loney.
Twins, traditionally noted for strong pitching 
and tight defence, added a new dimension to their 
arsenal - awesome offensive punch up-and-down the 
batting order. In round-robin play, Twins plated 
51 runs, many resulting from 6 players that 
slammed 15 home runs ? both stats leaders in the 
Canadians. Ranked 2nd before the tourney, Twins 
enter the Elimination Round on a high and will 
enjoy ?double life?. Other ?top four? teams with 
double life are St. Thomas and Saskatoon, and a 
winner from the Friday tie-beakers ? Mulgrave, 
Prince George, Newfoundland or Vancouver. Now the 
work begins ? Friday-Saturday-Sunday - little room for error.
Meanwhile, Yogi Berra re-visited the Doug Tarry 
Sports Complex, this time on Diamond #4. Edmonton 
Express, with veteran Darren Zack toeing the 
rubber, appeared headed for its first win of the 
week. Edmonton was leading 3-1 in the 7th inning, 
versus the Vancouver Grey Sox, who desperately 
(at 3-3) needed a win to keep their hopes alive 
for a playoff position. Grey Sox staged a rally, 
and scored once to trail by a single run. The 
true dramatics began with 2 out and runners at 
3rd and 2nd. Grey Sox?s slick shortstop Kevin 
Schellenberg assumed the batting position. It was 
the epic confrontation ? cagey moundsman 
Zack  vs. the diminutive batter Schellenberg, 
appearing quite comfortable in his role 
of  ?instant hero or distant memory?. 
Schellenberg, often a lead-off batter resulting 
from his keen ?eye? at the plate, worked the 
count to the maximum ? 3 balls, 2 strikes. Tying 
run at 3rd, winning run at 2nd. Zack offered a 
high change-up, at which Schellenberg swung, 
getting but a small piece of the 12? sphere for a 
foul ball. Fans were enjoying this extended 
defining moment in time.  A brief smile appeared 
on Schellenberg?s face. It was either frustration 
for not taking the change-up ?deep?, or, quite 
likely, relief that he found a piece of the 
horse-hide from Zack?s strategic offering. Fans 
collectively held their breath -  Zack?s final 
offering of the 2005 Canadians yielded a 
?high-hopper? over the mound, bouncing perfectly 
over 2nd base, plating both runners. The Grey Sox 
remain in the hunt
 Edmonton finishes winless, 
and once again, Yogi reminded fastball fans, that 
?It ain?t over ?til it?s over.? (Vancouver later 
defeated Jarvis to finish at 5-3, and with wins 
in the tie-breakers, could still grab a ?double life?)

One score from Decatur in addition to the ones I posted this afternoon.

PBI (MN) 9 DeKalb Hustle Hogs (IL) 4

The bracket board at Borg-Warner, the only bracket board at either 
complex, was not updated with games from the 11am time frame.

Will post what becomes available tomorrow evening.  Won't be back 
from the complex until 6 at the earliest.  Might try a laptop for a 
wireless connection but I doubt that will work.

Brechin wins pitchers? duel
Tight 3-2 victory over Rama Rebels opens ODFL final
By Lacey Sheppy

For: <http://www.orilliapacket.com>www.orilliapacket.com



Local Sports - Wednesday, August 31, 2005 @ 08:00

MNJIKANING ? Game 1 of the Orillia District 
fastball League finals saw quiet bats and 
exhausted pitchers as Brechin eked out a 3-2 win 
over the Rama Rebels last night.

Rebels pitcher Steve Jacobs gave up five hits in 
the first inning, but held Brechin to just seven more the rest of the game.

?We left too many runners on (base),? said Rama 
coach Curtis Stinson. ?We were chasing bad balls all night.?

Mike Samways was the first to cross home plate 
for Brechin in the top of the first inning. Cody 
Winderbank followed suit in the second.

Jacobs put the Rebels within one run in the 
bottom of the second, while Kyle LeDrew evened 
the score in the third when Brechin catcher Doug 
Double dropped a wild pitch that allowed LeDrew to steal home.

?It was a good game,? said Brechin coach Rob 
Irvine, who hit the game-winning home run in the top of the fifth.

?I got lucky with that one hit. It just looked good coming in.?

Although Rama, which won the ODFL championship in 
2000, finished first in the regular season with a 
record of 13-5-2, Brechin had the upper hand in 
head-to-head meetings, winning three of six in the regular season.

Both teams would like to see more runners cross 
home plate in Game 2, but Brechin pitcher Jim 
Farrell is doubtful that will happen.

?There haven?t been any high-scoring games in the 
playoffs, and I don?t think there will be,? he 
said, adding low-scoring games are more exciting for the fans.

?We?re just hoping to keep their bats idle (next game) and get ours going.?

It?s the same strategy Rama hopes to use to its advantage.

?We?ve just got to hit more,? said Stinson. ?Just 
keep hitting, hitting, hitting.?

While Irvine said he doesn?t think he?ll change 
strategy much for the rest of the best-of-seven 
series, he would like to fine-tune his team?s defence.

?We?re great defensively and we?ve got strong pitching with Farrell,? he said.

?But there are a few errors we could have back.?

Game 2 goes Sept. 6 at 7:30 p.m. in Brechin.

Wardell started for St Thomas, relief from Cox.

Todd Martin Started for Kitchener, relief from Scott, then Paul Koert.

A capacity crowd again tonight, sitting on top of each other.

GUESSTIMATE of 3,5000 in my opinion.


50-50 was $1950 - they ran out of tickets.

Wonderful night in the park, cooling a bit, but a light jacket does 
the trick and the coffee from the BIG TENT is excellent - thanks Joe.

Newfoundland coming up next against Jarvis.  NL has played sensational all day.

But many were carry over of fans who saw NL play early in the day and 
were impressed with their play and their heart.

St. Thomas, Ontario

The Softball Gods are smiling on us this week, today, Sunday, and the 
weather is simply fantastic!

10:30am in St. Thomas and the fans have been here since 7am or 
earlier staking out their seats and placing their lawn chairs.

We are about to be entertained once again by the very popular team 
from Newfoundland and Labrador.

They will be up against the powerhouse Kitchener Hallman Twins 
starting at 11am.

Watch the official site for results:  http://www.canadians2005.ca/

I will be updating my site during and after the game, apologies in 
advance for the typos, its sometimes tough to type results on a 
Blackberry while staring into the sun and trying to follow the 
action, but I will try and give inning by inning updates as the scores change.

Todd Martin has the ball for Kitchener today and Matt  Bramwell has 
it for Newfoundland.

Let's Play Two!

The El Segundo Rounders won their fourth game without a loss, 7-0,
against Country Club Villa, of California and are one of eight
remaining unbeaten teams at the ASA "C" Nationals at Stockton, CA.

Linnell Culver drove in Erik Geierman in the first inning, while
Gerald Pyle hit a solo shot in the fourth. In the sixth, the Rounders
capitalized on an error, with consecutive two run singles by Erik
Geierman, and Michael "Spanky" Thomas.  Both Thomas and Geierman had
three hits and two runs batted in in the contest. Catcher Donald
Younger added an RBI single for the final 7-0 score.  Meanwhile,
Rounder pitcher Mitch Mendenhall allowed just three hits, striking out
four and walking none for the win, in what many called his finest
outing of the year.

C9

12:45pm game over and the Newfoundland Impact Signs have upset the 
Kitchener Hallman Twins by a score of 1 to 0.

Yes, one could say this was an upset, but the gutsy Newfoundland team 
earned this one.

Todd Martin threw for Kitchener and threw a near perfect game but his 
team did not bring their bats - or once could say they just never did 
figure out young pitcher Matt Bramwell who threw a calm calculated 
game against the Twins.

To All involved,

As a softball fan in the Maritimes I would like to say 
congratulations to the organizers, Al Doran for his indepth coverage 
in helping me follow the PEI teams who I was cheering for but when 
they got beat I couldn't help but cheer on Newfoundland and Labrador 
Impact Signs who played resiliently and upset Kitchener in a game I 
thought the Twins had for sure...
Congrats to St. Thomas Centennials as well on hosting the event and 
winning (at time of writing they were) thanks to the longball as it 
looked like NL was going to do two upsets in a row.
But NL you have done SOFTBALL IN ATLANTIC CANADA proud by making it a 
silver place finishing and their performance are worthy of playoff 
awards. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!!!

Thanks

 JARVIS CLAIMS  8TH
Message-ID: <6.2.3.4.2.20050905001021.02d7eb78@mail.pmihrm.com>

ISSUE #7  By John Thompson 
<mailto:sstj99 at yahoo.com>sstj99 at yahoo.com 
Saturday September 3, 2005

GREY SOX REMAIN IN HUNT FOR TITLE; JARVIS CLAIMS 8TH
Two out in the 7th is not sufficient reason to 
abandon your seat at the 2005 Canadians - 
especially if the margin between competing teams 
is only 2 runs or less. For the 2nd consecutive 
day on Diamond #4, Vancouver Grey Sox displayed a 
?Ne?er say die? attitude in its tie-breaker match 
vs Newfoundland. Trailing 5-3 in the B-7th, 
Vancouver scrambled to tie the match, setting the 
table for Gerry Kennedy to launch a deep rocket 
to right-centre, a 3-run ?tater. Final 
tie-breaker score ? Vancouver 8 - Newfoundland 5.
       Moments earlier on Diamond #1, Prince 
George Black Bears, trailing Mulgrave Eagles 4-3 
in the T-7th,  unveiled some late-game heroics of 
their own. Pesky Bears catcher Chad Ghostkeeper 
did what he?s been successfully doing all week - 
making things happen -  by lining a twisting shot 
off the 1st baseman?s glove for a single. Next 
batter Doug Cain displayed patience and restraint 
off Eagles P Tim Macumber, working the count to 
3-2.  Cain?s great piece of batting ? a single to 
left field ? advanced the runner.  Randy Potskin 
assumed his position in the batter?s box, and 
Macumber?s wild pitch advanced runners to 
2nd/3rd. Two pitches later, a 2nd WP plated 
Ghostkeeper. Potskin struck out. Tie game.
       Eagles playbook dictated use of the short 
game in the B-7, with the lead-off batter 
singling on a well-executed drop-bunt. On a 
second bunt, Stephane Leblanc failed to advance, 
but brother Ricky Leblanc laid down a beauty, 
scored as a single. Runners at 1st/2nd and Black 
Bears bring veteran southpaw Mike Piechnik from 
the bull-pen to face left-handed hitting 
infielder Jim Midgley.  Midgley was loose and 
confident, and stroked a single ? Final 
tie-breaker score Mulgrave 5 Prince George 4.
       In the 4th tie-breaker game, the Grey Sox 
again rallied from a 1-0 deficit against Mulgrave 
on Scott Newitt?s HR and Nick Underhill?s 4 
hit-10 strikeout performance. The Sox?s 4th win 
in 30 hours provided them the right to meet the 
1st place unbeaten Kitchener Hallman Twins in the 
Friday night ?Two Lives to Live? doubleheader. 
The Grey Sox, trailing 3-0 in the 7th, attempted 
yet again another rally. Two walks followed by a 
Derek Mayson double narrowed the margin to 3-2, 
but Twins P Todd Martin nailed the game shut with three straight strikeouts.
      In the other tie-breaker series to 
determine the 8th and final playoff spot, 
Innerkip Bright Cheese House Eagles  got a solid 
3-hit performance from P Jamie Simpson, and 2 
RBIs from Mike Pullin to white-wash Kinkora 6-0. 
Four hours later, Innerkip was eliminated by a 
well-rested Jarvis Merchants squad, and Jarvis 
advances to the Saturday play-off, facing 
Mulgrave. In round-robin play on Wednesday, 
Jarvis nipped Mulgrave on P Andrew Phibbs 6- 
hitter ? look for another squeaker between these 
two balanced teams.  In the other single-life 
game today at noon, Prince George Black Bears and 
Newfoundland Impact Signs lock horns ? (Prince 
George/Newfoundland did not meet in round-robin pool play.
Last night, in front of a huge crowd, the 
home-town host St. Thomas Evergreen Centennials 
maintained double-life with a 3-1 win over Saskatoon Black Sox.

IN THE STANDS
 Friday night the large crowd in 
attendance realized that the St. Evergreen 
Centennials Thomas vs Kinkora O?Shea?s Pub and 
Eatery Hitmen game had significant impact on the 
final standings ? a Kinkora win would have 
produced a 7-way tie for 2nd spot with seven (7) 
teams posting 5 wins/3 losses records. The final 
standings had a 5-way tie for 3rd spot, with 
Saskatoon Aspen Interiors Black Sox awarded 3rd 
on the run differential record (formula included 
maximum of 7 for any game, and games had to have 
only ?full? innings played in the formula). No 
team could be eliminated from ?double life?, or 
from the tournament based on the formula, hence, 
the five tie- breaker games that were played 
yesterday. Friday turned out to be a great day of 
competition, and not simply an open day before 
Friday evening?s double ? header of the top teams 
who earned ?double life.?  Great job by the 
Softball Canada officials in determining the 
?Tie-breakers Schedule? on Thursday night, and 
the local Host Committee?s well-timed 
announcement informing fans before they left the 
park
. And out of town fans were informed almost 
as quickly as Dan Denniss up-dated the 2005 
Canadians website, and fervent fastball fan Al 
Doran, the guru of international softball 
communications, spread the word on Al?s Fastball List.  Well done everyone!

The Other
Side of
the Fence
By Larry Lynch
Fastpitch Veteran
Kitchener, ON


As a veteran of over 30 years in major men's fastpitch softball, or 
as we in Ontario know it fastball, I have traveled many miles and 
attended many parks to play, coach and observe the greatest players 
in the modern game. Fastball has always been a passion for me and 
like so many teammates over the years we sacrificed family time, 
finances and countless hours on the road to prove week-in and 
week-out that we still had the balls to compete at the highest level 
of the game.
     Over the past couple years I've stepped away from the daily 
grind of competition, but with the internet and more specifically Al 
Doran's Fastball web site, I have never really left the game.
    While the game on the field is what really stirred my juices for 
so many years, I've come to realize what the game is really all about 
in semi - retirement from it. The pitcher is still King, the long 
ball hitter is still the glory boy, defense is still under-rated, and 
the sacrifice bunt is all but a lost art.  What I didn't realize 
though, was that a hardcore legion of crusty, cagy and generally 
colourful critics are really the heart and soul of every major 
fastball event on the planet .
    They travel in annual pilgrimages to ball yards across North 
America to be part of every major event in the softball calendar. 
They line up their lawn chairs in the prime strategic locations 
behind home plate and settle in for days of observation, analysis and 
argument. They  follow every pitch,
they preside over every play and while they have no impact on the 
field they are judge and jury of performance for  umpires, coaches 
and players alike. They critique the concessions, the coldness of the 
beer and they know every player on every team.  They applaud you when 
you are successful - they let you know when you are not, and while 
they are the greatest critics -  they are also the greatest fans.
    As I observed the "fence sitters" in Woodstock, Monkton,  Orillia 
and Eau Claire, and here in St. Thomas  I was struck by the true 
camaraderie and love for the game this small group brought to the 
park with them. These are not locals, quite the opposite. They came 
by car, by truck, by camper, by motor home, some even by air. Most 
are not young in years, all are young at heart. Many had not seen 
each other since the last major event of the previous year , and for 
Joe Taman and Neil Fennell in Orillia, it had been much longer than 
that. For those who had shared a recent event it was a recap of the 
games since, for those who had been away much longer, it was 
handshakes/hugs all around.
    The game has changed over the years and some say it will soon be 
gone. Tell that to Dave Spring, or Earl and Mary Ann Stroh, or Gib 
Balkwell, or Tim and Pat from Erie, or John T and John MacT from 
Waterloo. Suggest to the "Hillside Crew" in Kimberly , or  the 
"Grandstand Gang" at Royal Athletic that they've seen their last 
World Tournament or Canadians. No - the game will carry on because 
the heart and soul of the game still lies in every one who remembers 
what it was like in their prime. Who was the pitcher to beat and who 
was the batter to fear is still played out on any given weekend 
across North America. It is the memories and  reminiscences of the 
"fence sitters" who really keep this great game alive.
    There have been some legendary performers in fastball -  and we 
all have our opinions in every era. The true legends may be the ones 
who remember softball when it really was a game, and I for one,I 
thank each of  you for making every trip to the park special for 
those on the other side of the fence.

Unfortunately I was not at the Canadians this year to witness the
outstanding performance by the NL team. But thanks to Al I got to follow the
last couple of days almost inning by inning.

First of all I would like to congratulate the St. Thomas team on their
championship performance. You had a super tournament.

However I had to write to congratulate the guys from the 'ROCK'. I have had
the pleasure of umpiring these players for most of their playing career.
Going into this tournament they were long shots just to get into the
playoffs. They had no big name players no hired guns. These guys played with
a lot of heart, pure determination and the burning desire to win. It's nice
to see that we can be competitive when only using our own local grown
talent, especially when we have a lot of players not at home and who are
playing against us and who are key cogs in the wheel for several of the top
teams.

I have long said that one of the advantages we have in NL is the fact that
we still have our local Senior league, (thanks mainly to Bill Barron). This
is one of a very few in the country, and it has helped develop many of the
top ball players in the country. Other areas need to get back to basics and
start developing local talent in order for our game to grow and prosper.

Today Newfoundland has a new crop of players with a few veterans add for
stability. The experienced they have gained by playing ball for different
teams across Canada and the US has certainly improved those players as I
witnessed when I umpired the recent ISC World Tournament. They really proved
to me that our local players are some of the best in the world.

Even though I have now officially finished my career on the field as an
umpire, I look forward to following the continued development of this team.
You are a credit to the province and more importantly to yourselves. Once
again Congratulations and hopefully within the next year or two we will get
over the top and bring home the gold.

I.S.C. Board of Directors Discussing PRAWN Motion; Results Expected 
by September 15

The International Softball Congress Board of Directors is in the 
process of discussions, via e-mail, of a plan presented by the 
organization's Players Representatives Committee at the Board 
meetings in Eau Claire last month.

That plan is known as PRAWN.  It is intended to limit the number of 
players who had attained ISC All-World Tournament status (during the 
most-recent five year period) that any team could have on their 
roster.  It was tabled by the Board in August after lively 
discussion.  The tabling of the proposed plan was designed to 
postpone until later in the summer/fall any decision on the plan.

Currently the motion from the Players Rep Committee has been removed 
from the table and is the topic of more lively discussion.  Some 
variations of the original proposal have been presented and are under 
discussion.

Dick Mason, ISC President, is confident that the discussions will be 
over and a vote on the plan (including any changes which may come 
about through those discussions) will be taken by about September 15.

Any action taken by the Board of Directors on this plan would be in 
effect for the 2006 season.

Anyone who has questions about the PRAWN plan works, and/or what 
effect it would have on their team, should contact their Area of 
Travel League commissioner for an explanation.

It was a final with no losers.

On a picture-perfect day for fastball, the St. Thomas Evergreen Centennials 
provided a picture-perfect ending by winning the Canadian men's fastball 
championship yesterday, repaying a city that embraced the tournament and 
the team. Some 35,000 fans attended, including about 3,500 for the final of 
the tournament that saw 13 teams participate and 67 games played.

Owen Sound, ON


The Bluewater Fastball League has denied a request by the Port Elgin Blue 
Devils to delay and shift this weekend's year end championship tournament.

The League Championship Tournament is set for Chepstow, but as a result of 
their request being denied, the regular season champion Blue Devils will 
not compete.

Port Elgin made the request when it became apparent they could not field a 
team for the Championship.

Two Blue Devils are playing hockey in Europe, two others have committed to 
playing in the Eastern Canadian Championships, another Blue Devil is taking 
his fire fighting course, and pitcher Scott Christie is injured and out for 
the season.

The six absentees mean that Port Elgin would have been able to field just 8 
players for the event.

The League denied Port Elgin's request primarily because the South Perth 
League tournament is scheduled for the following weekend and many Bluewater 
players also compete in the South Perth League as well.

Port Elgin Manager Jim MacKinnon stresses the Blue Devils are not upset by 
the denial, however, they admit they won't be able to cap a terrific season 
at the tournament.

On the year, Port Elgin dominated the league with a record of 22 & 2 plus 
they finished second at the I.S.C. Two World Championships in Wisconsin.



A full interview with Jim MacKinnon will be aired on Sportstalk Saturday 
between 10 am and 11 am on 560 CFOS.

Bobcaygeon/ Fenelon Falls, Ontario

The weekend started and ended in excitement at the OASA Intermediate "C" 
Provincials held this past weekend in Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls.

The first game of the weekend showcased Bobcaygeon Jermyn Lumber vs. Lake 
Simcoe Lightning. A great pitching effort, combined with stellar defence 
added up to a no-hit effort for Rick May and the Lightning. The final was 
4-0. All four runs came off of Bobcaygeon starter Ryan McCue. McCue was 
relieved by Dave Taylor after 2, Taylot shut the Lightning bats down the 
rest of the way.

The rest of the weekend proved to be very exciting, as there was only one 
mercy all weekend.

Fitzroy Harbour W/C Electric made it through the "A" side, defeating Lake 
Simcoe and Belmore along the way.

Belmore defeated a weary Lake Simcoe squad (down to one starting pitcher 
due to an injury to Jim Chilvers), in a back and forth semi-final, to 
advance to the final against Fitzroy Harbour.

The advantage seemed to be with Fitzroy, having defeated Belmore earlier in 
the day, however Belmore's starting pitcher Scott Smith led the offensive 
attack (2 home runs), as Belmore roughed up Fitzroy starter Troy Wilson. 
Belmore ended up winning the first game by a wide margin and it was off to 
game two.

Fitzroy Harbour figured to be the favorite in the "if" game by virtue of 
the fact that the starting pitcher was the undefeated "Big" Bud Hanlon. 
Belmore stuck with what got them there and again started Scott Smith. In 
the end Belmore's Scott Smith was too much for Fitzroy, as Smith earned 
another complete game win, and Belmore were crowned the 2005 OASA 
Intermediate "C" Champions.

Game scores and summaries to follow.

LAKE SIMCOE LIGHTNING GRAB BRONZE IN BOBCAYGEON OASA?S.



A great tournament to be a part of The Lake Simcoe Lightning would like to 
thank the volunteers of Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls for all the hard work 
to make the Tournament a pleasure to play in.



The Lightning started their journey on Friday with Rick May leading the way 
throwing a No Hitter against the home town Bobcaygeon team 4 ? 0 in a 
gritty game.

The second game saw the Lightning beat a strong Wyevale club 8 ? 2 with a 
full team effort.

Saturday night brought Fitzroy Harbor to face the Lightning team Fitzroy 
won 3 ? 1 despite a 3 hitter thrown by Jim Chilvers for the Lightning. A 
intense game from the first pitch seeing both team making key plays.  The 
Lightning couldn?t finish off the 7th inning rally leaving men at second 
and third.



Game 4 for the Lightning Brought on the Gritty Colbourn team both teams 
with their backs to the wall and the losing team goes home attitude saw a 
big game by the Lightning with a 8 ? 2 Win in another great team effort.



Having to play back to back the Lightning faced the Blackburn Bombers and 
kept the intensity going with a convincing 9 ? 3 Win and avenging last 
years loss to the Bombers

Rick May picking up his 4th win of the tournament.



Next up was Belmore again back to back the Lightning go to the hot and 
tired hand of Rick May.  Possibly the most entertaining game of the weekend 
with a full crowd at hand, both teams did not disappoint.  A seesaw battle 
with both teams running the tank dry to get to the Gold Medal 
game.  Belmore started with a big first inning scoring 2 to take a 2 ? 0 
lead.  Only to be answered by the Lightning cashing 3 in the bottom of the 
first.  Lightning moved to a 5 ? 2 lead in the third but couldn?t hold on 
as the Belmore?s bats prevailed seeing them score 8 runs to the Lightnings 
6 in a game where the final was undecided to the last swing.



The finals were now set.

Belmore and Fitzroy Harbor I am unaware of the results but the Lake Simcoe 
Lightning wish both teams luck.



The Lightning would like to thank John Kemp, Will Mcelroy, Joe Moore and 
Mike Samways for joining our team for good ball and lots of laughs.  We 
would also like to thank all the support we received from the friendly 
people of Fenelon Falls and Bobcaygeon and we hope you enjoyed Lightning 
Fastball.

This was the 19th year for the North Bay World Senior Fastball Tournament 
and after losing a heartbreaking final to Manotick (Ottawa) in the 2004 
edition of this tournament, Cold Springs Cats went back up this year and 
won it this time in workman like precision.  Steve "Soupy" Campbell took 
the ball for the first three games and delivered bigtime with wins over 
Callander, Fraser Tavern (North Bay) and Toronto Bingo's, whose lineup 
included longtime and familiar names like Bobby Smith, Frank Marshall, and 
Harold Passmore.  When all the calculations were done Cold Springs found 
themselves ranked 3rd out of the 32 teams and faced Wills Bus Lines 
(Hamilton) in the first round of the "AA"  playoffs (the top 16 were put in 
"AA" and the bottom 16 in "A").  They proved no match as "The Cats" 
dominated for a 7-0 win.  The quarter-final against Casey's (North Bay) 
proved to be the toughest game "The Cats" would have as they eked out a 2-0 
win over a very determined Ken Besner on the mound for the local 
team.  Next up was "The Dog House" out of Sudbury in the semi-finals.  Cold 
Springs eliminated them with a convincing 11-1 win.  All three "Dog House" 
pitchers were used to try and stop "The Cats", but on this day Cold Springs 
was not to be denied.  The final saw "The Cats" take on the "K.C. 
Trappers"  from Porquis Junction which I was told was near Timmins.  Their 
ace, big Frank Kujawinski had been mowing teams down to get to the 
final.  The final was his 3rd game of the day as it was for our go to guy 
Gary "Lefty" Vowles.  With several hundred fans on hand the Cold Springs 
Cats prevailed with a 4-0 victory to take the crown.  Gary Vowles was named 
MVP for "The Cats" and although no one could argue with his selection Cold 
Springs won this tournament as a team with outstanding defence, giving up 
only 2 runs all weekend and scoring 47 in the process.  Offensively, 
although everyone chipped in with many timely hits, I believe most 
remembered will be some of the tape measure blasts off the bat of big Paul 
"Beej" Foucault.

Congratulations to all The Cold Spring Cats including Mike Racioppo, Mike 
McCaw, Rob Ellis, Mike O'Hearn, Gary Vowles, Dave O'Connell, Jeff Brown, 
Don Goodfellow, Mark Thompson, Steve Campbell, Paul Foucault, Darren 
Crouter, Steve Parker and finally the Manager Ewart "ET" Timlin.

OSHAWA, ON



The defending champions of the Oshawa City and District Fastball League, 
the Aurora Shoeless Joe's ( 3 ), have been vanquished to the sidelines by 
the Cobourg Diamond Kings( 6 ). Cobourg , in the three game series, took 
both ends of the double header in Cobourg yesterday at Legion Fields by 
scores of 4 - 3 and 1 - 0.Both games were very tight as the scores implied.
In game one the Kings Jason Benne with relief help from Wayne Wells, 
outduelled Rick Green of Joe's and in the second game Wayne Wells took the 
decision over Todd Martin.
Both pitchers struck out 10 batters. Cobourg will wait for  a semi-finalist 
challenger from one of the other three series.

Last Tuesday, pitcher,Rick May of the Lake Simcoe Lightning( 5 ) nipped 
Newmarket's Mudhens Fastball ( 4 ) 2 - 0. Greg Delgarno suffered the loss. 
Newmarket visits Lake Simcoe tonight in game 2 at 8:30.

John Batten, of the Toronto Champion Indians ( 2 ), battled for 9 innings 
as his team nudged past the Oshawa Ravens ( 7 ) 6 - 5. Phil Yahn took the 
loss and the Ravens hope to even the series at 1 game each as this series 
resumes tomorrow night at Oshawa's Durham Fields.

The Stouffville Menno's( 1 ) shutout the Claremont Rebels ( 8 ) 6 - 0 last 
Thursday in Stouffville as Byron Baranieski was the winning pitcher. The 
Rebel's John Sharpe was charged with the loss. Game two will be in 
Claremont when possibly Paul Koert will pitch for the home side and Scott 
Evans will attempt to help the Menno's sweep past  the Rebels to advance to 
the semi-finals with Cobourg.

Oshawa, On

On Wednesday October 26, 2005 the SpinMaster Pitching/Catching School, in 
its third year of operation, will again open it's doors to all prospective 
female and male  pitchers and catchers of all ages who have a desire to 
learn and further refine themselves at these defensive positions.

Pitchers will receive instruction from Head Instructor Mal Swift, with 48 
years of fastball experience. I will be assisted by my  two pitching sons 
Jason, a lefty, with 29 years of pitching experience and Ryan, who has 
pitched  for 23 years. Both junior Swifts pitched in the Oshawa City and 
District Fastball League  for 2005,which consisted of 17 teams.

Toronto Champion Indians of the OCDFL picked up Ryan to compliment their 
pitching staff and play second base as they won the Ontario Challenge Cup 
in Hillsburg, On. and won a birth in the 2006 International Softball 
Congress II, Tournament of Champions in Kitchener, On. in August. Ryan was 
named MVP in the final game as he hit a double and a two run homer to help 
win the championship game.

Catchers will be instructed by Matthew Swift, my middle son, who has 26 
years of playing experience. This summer Matthew caught for his brothers 
with the Durham Eagles Intermediate Men's team.

Pitchers will learn proper position, ball grip, arm action, hip 
thrust/rotation, follow through and fielding position. Pitches taught will 
be peel drop, peel change drop, twist drop, twist change drop, curve, 
change curve, and knuckle ball to appropriate ages. Pitchers will also be 
tested on accuracy and speed, plus many drills will be implemented.

Pitchers must provide their own catchers. Only catchers taking instruction 
will pay the catcher fee.

Catchers will learn ready position, relaxed position, catching above and 
below waist, catchers stance, bat clearance, catching ball, grip and step, 
the throw, follow through, blocking balls, making a play at the plate 
(receiving throw / making tag ) and catching a foul ball. Many catching 
drills  will  also be added to this section of the School.

The School will be at Durham College's gym on Wednesday night for one hour, 
either from 7 to 8 pm  or 8 - 9 pm ( new times this year )according to age 
group. The gym is at the north west corner of Durham College's campus at

Call them Canada's best team. The St. Thomas Evergreen Centennials thrilled 
a home crowd of nearly 4,000 by winning the Canadian senior men's fastball 
championship over Newfoundland 7-1 in the final Sunday at the Douglas J. 
Tarry Complex.
Pitcher Frank Cox scattered four hits and struck out 11 batters with no 
walks, finishing the tournament at 5-0 with a 0.55 ERA, 56 strikeouts and

Thread-Topic: Niagara Falls Men's League playoffs

From: "Greatrix, Rob" <rgreatrix at kpmg.ca>


Niagara Falls Canada
Hi Al
The Niagara Falls Men's League playoffs began a couple weeks ago with two 
three game semi finals. Niagara Cool Hand Lukes defeated Niagara Fury two 
games to one. Red Hot Chilli Pepper defeated Niagara Beam Me Up Scotties 
two games to none. The best of five final is now knotted at two apiece 
after a 6-5 Lukes win last night. So it appears tonight will wrap up the 
league playoffs and this will guarantee a new champion in the Falls for at 
least the third consecutive year as the Fury are the defending champs.

Wyevale, ON



Tribe Climbs Back Into Series



After dropping 2 one run decisions in the opening 2 games of the SRFL 
finals the Wyevale Tribe climbed back into the series with a convincing 4-0 
victory over the visiting Minesing Monarchs.



Jason Giffen again toed the rubber for the Tribe and tossed a complete game 
1 hit shut out, that featured 11 K's, and some quality defense (which the 
Tribe had yet to display in the series).  Kurt Glover took the loss for 
Minesing as he was touched up for 4 runs on 7 hits.



The Tribe scored early as the first inning saw 2 singles move over by a SAC 
bunt, and then a SAC Fly by Trace Leonard plated the first run of the 
game.  In the third a leadoff double was cashed by a single by Kyle Lapham 
after a SAC bunt had moved the runner to third.  In the 6th the Tribe put 
it away when a Minesing error turned into a 2 run rally when Dave Drinkill 
doubled to score a run, then was plated himself by a SAC fly by Shane Bywater.



In the end a balanced attack and a great performance from the circle was 
just what the doctor had ordered for the Tribe, as the series now shifts 
back to Barrie for the pivotal Game #4 of this best of 7 series.

Niagara Falls Canada
Hi Al
Niagara Cool Hand Lukes defeated Red Hot Chilli Pepper 6-4 in game 5 last 
night at Ker Park. CHL has won the NFMFL championship in the past under 
their old name Falls Auto Body but it was quite some time ago. Their coach 
Dave Rotella was telling me last night the last time he was in the 
Championship was seven years ago. Great coach and a bunch of great guys, it 
was nice to see them win again. It is a bit of an oddity that the past four 
playoff champions in Niagara Falls have been the four teams that have been 
the backbone of the league. Red Hot Chilli Pepper in 2002, Mack O'Rooney's 
in 2003, Fury in 2004 and now Lukes in 2005. No dynasties in the Falls. 
Also big congratulations go out to Red Hot Chilli Pepper. Smitty, Hicksy 
and the boys put up a great fight again. They have had a year full of 
changes and have had some major obstacles to overcome but continue to field 
a great team.
That wraps up the NFMFL for another year. There are some discussions with 
regards to additional team(s) in the NFMFL next year and I will try to keep 
everyone in the loop as things get confirmed.
The awards banquet I believe is September 25th and I will update award 
recipients following the presentations.
Again congratulations to Dave Rotella and Cool Hand Lukes.

Hardy pitches Alberton to P.E.I.'s first-ever Intermediate 'B' men's EC Ch'ship

By Pat Healey

CHARLOTTETOWN - Mission Possible for the Alberton Athletics.

The Alberton Athletics went into the Intermediate 'B' Men's Eastern 
Canadian Championships this past weekend here with one goal in mind - 
winning it as finishing second would be a huge disappointment.

Sunday afternoon, that mission was completed as Mitch Hardy struck out 12, 
allowing just one run - the only one that plated in 29 innings against the 
Larry Profit-coached A's - as the Athletics upended Hoyt Schooners of New 
Brunswick 5-1 to go undefeated and capture the Island's first-ever 
Intermediate 'B' Men's title at City Diamond.

The Athletics beat West Prince rivals the St. Louis Storm 7-0 in the first 
cross over Sunday morning to await the winner of the Hoyt and Pictou 
Extreme winner at noon time.

In the second cross over, it was a see-saw battle until the bottom of the 
seventh when a call that could have went either way went for the home Hoyt 
team and allowed them to plate two runs - including the winner - in a 4-3 
win over the Nova Scotia champion Extreme.

Jeremy Tracy did it all for the Schooners slamming a two-run home run, 
before David Kirkpatrick's RBI single scored brother Dan Kirkpatrick with 
the game winning run in the 4-3 win to advance to the final.

Mike Grant with a home run, John Mailman with a RBI single and Matt Dort 
with a run scored on an error led the Extreme at the plate.

During the three-day championship, a total of five games - the A's gave up 
just one run - in the championship final, and that in the seventh inning, 
while allowing just six hits between Hardy and Manuel. The two rocket 
throwers combined to fan 50 batters in the process with Hardy getting 28 
strikeouts and Manuel sitting 22.

Against St. Louis, top batter Jeff Ellsworth (2-2, triple, home run, three 
runs scored, walk, two RBI), Kyle Fraser (2-3, double run scored), Craig 
Manuel (2-2, three runs scored, double, home run), Jason Rice (1-2, walk), 
Adam Boudreault (1-2, double) and Chad Rennie (1-3) led the way.

For the Storm, Charlottetown Fawcett affiliate Jason MacDonald (2-2) was 
the only hitter to read Manuel, who plays with the Kinkora Hitmen.

In the championship final, it appeared that top pitcher and MVP Hardy and 
Hoyt ace Jeremy Tracey were going to be in a pitching duel. Tracey was 
pitching back to back games after pitching the Schooners in the final with 
a win over the Extreme just moments earlier.

The duel was on as Hardy got out of a first inning jam with a fly out by 
Noel Carr. The A's then went to work.

Kyle Fraser (2-4, run scored) reached base on a single, before the next two 
batters got out. Jeff Ellsworth (1-3, walk) then hit a double that scored 
Fraser with the all important first run of the game in the bottom of the 
first inning.

Alberton threatened to blow the game open somewhat in the second as they 
had the bases loaded with one out, but Tracy escaped by fanning Fraser and 
Chris Avery (.

The third and fourth innings went pretty smooth with Alberton just getting 
one hit off Tracy - that being a two out double by Hardy. He was stranded 
there when Jason Rice flied out to the Hoyt shortstop.

Alberton got the bats going again in the fifth, connecting for two runs on 
two hits and a walk. Avery (1-4, RBI) hit a triple before Jeff Ellsworth 
was intentionally walked by Tracy. Troy Ellsworth (1-3) made the pitcher 
pay for the walk, driving a two-run single to left Centre, plating Avery 
and Jeff Ellsworth.

In the bottom of the sixth, with Alberton ahead 3-0 and wanting insurance 
against Hoyt who beat the A's last year after the sun got in the view of a 
fly out to centerfield and dropped in allowing Hoyt to win 2-1.

Hardy (2-3) reached on a single and moved to second on a Jason Rice (1-2, 
walk) single. Hardy scored on a single from Avery, while an error with 
Manuel at bat allowed Rice to score.

The only time the A's were challenged in this game was in the top of the 
seventh when Noel Carr reached on a single and scored on a David 
Kirkpatrick double. The next two batters got out to end the game and give 
P.E.I. it's first Intermediate 'B' Men's Championship.

Other teams in the tournament were Stewiacke River Rats, East Hants 
Henchman, Moncton Keith's and the host Charlottetown Home for Sales Phantoms.

the time they could spend at the park this year, it took a lot of 
volunteers to do only some of the things that Al & Janet do. We're glad to 
have them back at the park and in good health and look forward to many more 
years of fastball in Niagara Falls.

On behalf of the GHFL, I want to thank the following people for all their

The Niagara Snappers captured the 2005 GHFL Championship going 4-0 on the 
weekend outscoring their opponents 24-4.  This marks the 5th tournament of 
2005 won by the Snappers and leaves the Snappers with a record of 61-18 
with 1 tournament left to play.  Dan Duemo was named the GHFL league Most 
Valuable Pitcher for the 2nd year in a row and was also named 2005 GHFL 
playoff tournament MVP.  In ISC, GHFL and tournament play, Dan Duemo 
pitched 226 innings this year and struck out his 300th batter of the season 
in the championship game, ending the year with 305 Ks and record of 33-7 
and an ERA of 1.95.

Game #1 saw the Snappers defeat Waterdown Keiths 2-0.  Dan Duemo picked up 
the win with Jim Wilson hitting a solo home run to provide all the offense 
the Snappers would need.  Todd Dawdy had an RBI double to put the second 
run on the board.

In game #2, the Snappers took on the Mississauga Arrows and came away with 
a 4-0 victory.  Perry Bartley pitched 4 strong innings to pick up the win, 
with Dan Duemo coming in to clean up the final 3 innings to record the 
save.  Scott Young and Trevor Falk each had an RBI for the Snappers.

In the undefeated game, the Snappers mercied the 2004 GHFL Champion 
Hamilton Hawks 8-1 in 5 innings.  Dan Duemo pitched the complete game to 
pick up his second win of the weekend striking out 9 batters along the 
way.  Scott Young homered to power the Snappers offense while Mike Bateman 
and Dan Bernard had 2 RBI's apiece.

The Hawks worked their way back into the championship game where the 
Snappers then pulled out a 10-3 win in a 5-inning mercy.  Trevor Falk and 
Kevin Newhouse each homered in the win, with Falk missing hitting for the 
cycle by a single.  Newhouse contributed 3 RBI's and Falk 2 RBI's in the 
win.  Dan Duemo once again toed the rubber and went the distance in the win 
to leave him with 3 victories, and 1 save in the 4 Snapper victories.

The Snappers will now take 3 weeks off and finish off their 2005 season by 
attending the Millgrove Smoke tournament at the end of September.  The 
Snappers will be lead on the mound by Byron Demoe and 2005 All-World 
pitcher Rob Fawcett of the Port Elgin Blue Devils who has played in a 
couple of tournaments with the team already in 2005.  Dan Duemo will be 
taking a much deserved break for the rest of the season.

Award.  Janiva is a part of the Women?s National Team Player Pool and her 
nomination for this award not only reinforces the fact that she is a fine 
softball player but more importantly, an excellent student, citizen and 
ambassador for the sport of fast pitch softball."

The award recognizes senior student-athletes in intercollegiate athletics 
for their outstanding achievements in athletics, academics and community

Mitchell, ON

The 16-team playoff tournament for the South Perth Men's Fastball League 
will be held this weekend, Sept. 16-18, in Mitchell's Keterson Park - so 
eager, diehard faithful fastball fans can still have their fix of top-level 
quality fastball before the season ends!

The #1 seeded Sebringville Sting, with a 17-5 record during the regular 
year, will be looking to defend their league championship, but will be 
tested by a number of top-level teams eager to knock them off their perch.

A number of teams had impressive seasons, not only in South Perth play, but 
also in ISC II competition and other major tournaments.

Any number of upsets could take place on the field during the 
double-knockout tournament - #11 seed Linwood has ace Jamie Simpson on 
their roster as one example. Top pitchers Don Scott (Sebringville), Todd 
Uhrig (Elora), Jeremy deBelleval (Hickson), Jim Schnarr (Bridgeport), Scott 
Smith (Harriston), Casey Halstead (Elmira Cubs) and Dan Martin (Elmira Jrs) 
are all slated to be in action for their respective teams, not to mention 
numbers clutch hitters in this highly-competitive league.

The weather promises to be outstanding, and so does the competition.

First-round matchups are as follows:
Friday, Sept. 16 opening schedule

Sebringville (#1) vs. St. Pauls (#16), 7:00
Mitchell (#8) vs. Elora (#9), 7:00
Tavistock (#5) vs. Monkton (#12), 7:00
Harriston (#4) vs. Milverton (#13), 9:00
Elmira Cubs (#3) vs. Shakes. Falcons (#14), 9:00
Hickson (#6) vs. Linwood (#11), 9:00

Saturday, Sept. 17
Bridgeport (#7) vs. Elmira Jrs (#10), 10:00 am
St. Marys (#2) vs. Moorefield (#15), 10:00 am

Games continue all day Saturday and Sunday, with the championship set for 3 
p.m. Sunday, followed by the 'if necessary' game thereafter.

Keterson Park in Mitchell is located on Wellington Street, four blocks 
south of the main street. Our 4-diamond complex has hosted the league 
tournament every year since the league changed from a series format to 
tournament. Mitchell is located 15-minutes west of Stratford on Highway 8, 
and 45-minutes north of London on Highway 23.

Ottawa, ON

The Upper Ottawa Valley Men's Fastball League 
(http://ca.geocities.com/fitzroyfastball/UOVMFL.htm) and the Greater Ottawa 
Fastball League (http://ca.geocities.com/fitzroyfastball/GOFL.htm) final 
series are continuing, with both series currently tied.

In the UOVMFL, the defending champions Micksburg, ON Twins are tied with 
the Campbell's Bay, QC Royals at two games apiece in the best of seven series.

After winning game one 8-0, Micksburg won game two at the Royals playoff 
home in Bryson, QC by a score of 1-0 on September 2.  Corey Costello of the 
Twins threw his second consecutive one-hit shutout registering 16 
strikeouts, with Len Burger taking the loss for Campbell's Bay.  Kerr 
Childerhose drove in the winning run.

Game three back in Micksburg on September 7 was looking like another Twins 
victory with Costello bringing a 2-0 lead into the top of the 
seventh.  However, the Royals bats finally came alive, with Campbell's Bay 
breaking through with a six-run inning off Costello and Dwight 
Mick.  Costello took the loss, and Len Burger had the victory and also 
scored the game-winning run for Campbell's Bay.

Game four on the Quebec side was another Campbell's Bay victory to knot the 
series at two games.  Final score was 4-3 for the Royals, with Len Burger 
getting his fifth win of the playoffs.  Dwight Mick took the loss for 
Micksburg with Corey Costello on the sidelines with a sore knee.  Young 
Matt Greer hit two homeruns for Campbell's Bay, with Kevin Humphries 
replying with a homerun for Micksburg.

Game five will be played Friday September 16 at 8:30PM in Micksburg and a 
large crowd is expected to be on hand.  At this time, Corey Costello is a 
tentative starter for the Twins, depending on the state of his knee.  Game 
six will be Thursday September 22 in Bryson at 8PM, with a deciding game 
seven scheduled for Wednesday September 28 in Micksburg at 8:30PM if necessary.

In the GOFL, the defending champions Kanata, ON Team Easton are tied with 
the Stittsville, ON 56ers one game each in the best of five finals.  All 
games are being played in Stittsville.

Team Easton took game one on September 7 by a score of 6-4.   Dan Konkle 
scattered eight hits in the win, registering 14 strikeouts.  Dan Bradley 
suffered his first loss of the playoffs.  Stittsville had built up a 3-0 
lead after three innings, but Team Easton came back for the victory.  Greg 
McMillan had a two run homer for the 56ers.  John Peck and Dave Tubman had 
homeruns for Team Easton and Todd Fraser had a two-run double.

In game two, Stittsville tied the series with a 1-0 victory on September 
11.  Dan Konkle took the loss on an unearned run in the first, pitching two 
innings in total, with Bill Gerber holding the 56ers scoreless in relief 
over five innings.  Dan Bradley had the shutout victory throwing a 
two-hitter, not allowing a runner past second base.

Game three was originally scheduled for September 14, but was rained 
out.  Game three has been rescheduled for Sunday September 18 with a 
tentative start time of 7:30PM.  This time is subject to change, as a 
doubleheader may be played.

The GOFL playoff champion will face the UOVMFL champion in the inaugural 
best of three regional championship.

Rumours are circulating in the GOFL about potential expansion for the 2006 
season.  Potential new teams include the Antrim Truck Stop team, playing 
out of Pakenham, ON, as well as Neil Cooke's I4C Victory team that recently 
participated in the Elkland Labour Day tourney in Pennsylvania.  There are 
also rumours of a team or teams joining the GOFL from the Ottawa RA league.

Wyevale, ON



Minesing Wins 2005 SRFL Crown



In a closely contested series that seemed to have a little bit of 
everything in it, the Minesing Monarchs outplayed the Wyevale Tribe and 
captured the 2005 SRFL Title.



Game 6 went on Thursday night, and by virtue of a 6-5 victory, Minesing 
took the series 4 ? 2.



Minesing jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first when a Tribe 
error led to 2 unearned runs on in infield single by Jamie Grant.  The 
Tribe got things rolling in the 4th when a solo homerun by Mike Kelly cut 
the lead in half.  The momentum quickly shifted back to home team however 
when the Monarch?s rallied for 4 runs of their own in the bottom of the 
4th, making the score 6-1.  The inning was capped off be a mammoth 3 run 
jack by Minesing?s Keith Rankin.  The Tribe did not back down, and scored 3 
runs themselves in the top of the 5th inning.  Again the long ball was the 
story as Tribe member Graham McNabb batted in all three runs with homerun 
to centre.  In the top of the seventh a leadoff single by Mike Kelly was 
cashed by a 1 out double by Jason Giffen.  With the score 6-5, one out, and 
tying run at second Minesing hurler Kurt Glover took over striking out the 
next two batters to preserve the win.  Both Kurt Glover and Jason Giffen 
went the distance, and pitched well at the key moments within the game.



Game #1

Tribe ? 0 (LP Giffen)

Minesing ? 1 (WP Glover)



Game #2

Tribe ? 3 (LP Giffen)

Minesing ? 4 (WP Harloff)

	Restrictions
Message-ID: <6.2.0.14.2.20050916182625.02a87d40@mail.pmihrm.com>


I.S.C. Board of Directors Passes the PRAWN Restrictions - -
To Take Effect With the 2006 Season

The Board of Directors of the International Softball Congress has passed 
the PRAWN restrictions, a set of rules governing the number of All-World 
players from the most recent five years a team can have on its roster.

This rule, introduced to the Board in August at their meetings in Eau 
Claire, Wisconsin, was tabled for further discussion and an e-mail vote at 
that time.

The PRAWN restrictions will take effect beginning with the 2006 fastball 
season.

Those players who comprise the PRAWN list have now been determined. These 
names will be made available to the teams immediately, and they are posted 
on the ISC website at 
<http://www.iscfastpitch.com/webstartme/prawn/2006.htm>http://www.iscfastpitch.com/webstartme/prawn/2006.htm
An excel attachment of the list will be sent to any who request it by 
e-mailing <mailto:iscken at comcast.net>iscken at comcast.net

PRAWN Restrictions
A PRAWN (Player Rep All World Name) list will be maintained by the ISC 
containing each name of the two all-world teams for the most recent 5 
years, including MV Player and Outstanding Pitcher. The PRAWN list will be 
released on Al's list by August 30 each year and posted on the ISC web site 
as soon as possible.
  Each team will be limited to 6 players (combination of pitchers and 
position players), plus exceptions (see below) that have been named All 
World in the last 5 years - only one of which may be a pitcher. Teams are 
still limited to 2 OOA pitchers for the season. All teams must name their 
PRAWNs to the Executive Director by May 1 each year. If a player who is 
also a pitcher is selected to either one of the All World teams at a 
position other than pitcher, he will NOT be considered as a pitcher for 
PRAWN status but rather as a player.
Current hardship rule 9a will be allowed given the following: the team 
replacing the player is still required to abide by the PRAWN limits for 
both players and pitchers.  E.g. if the player being replaced is a pitcher 
with PRAWN status and he was the only pitcher with PRAWN status on the team 
then that team may replace that pitcher with another PRAWN pitcher.
Exception for a team that has 6 current PRAWNs: If a non-PRAWN player or 
players make an All World team in the current year, that team will be 
allowed to carry that player or players until such time that a PRAWN player 
leaves the team or drops out of the 5 year criterion. If a player makes All 
World while with Team A and they have 6 current PRAWN players, then Team A 
would be allowed to carry 7 until one of the 7 leaves the team (or they 
fall outside of the 5 year boundary), then they will only be allowed 6 for 
the following year.
This also applies for the one pitcher All World status restriction. If a 
pitcher is selected to an All World team in the current season and that 
team already has a pitcher on their team with PRAWN status, that team will 
be allowed to carry 2 (or however many) prawn pitchers until such time as 
one of the prawn pitcher(s) leaves the team or falls outside of the PRAWN 
status.
Phase in Period - If a PRAWN was selected all world in the last 5 years 
with a team and remained with that team, the team may qualify for the above 
exception as if the PRAWN restrictions were in effect for those 5 years. 
2006 only - Teams can play the 2006 season with 2 PRAWN Pitchers if both 
PRAWN pitchers were on that team's WT roster in 2005.

PRAWN Restriction Interpretation
No team may add a PRAWN to their roster until their total Prawn count falls 
below 6

This September, Coach Nemish will be entering his 17th season as Head Coach 
of the Lords Fastball program. The 2004-05 season was simply amazing as the 
Lords won their unprecedented record 12th OCAA Provincial Championship Gold 
Medal, making the Lords three time Champions for the second time in school 
history.

In doing so, the Lords captured their 20th regular season title (12-0) and 
13th title in the past 14 years. Under his leadership, since taking over 
from legendary Coach Richard Snowden, Coach Nemish has seen his team?s 
medal every year except one, over the past 16 years.

His Lords squads have posted a simply incredible overall conference record 
of 164-15 for an untouchable .916 winning percentage. Included in this 
daunted record is an all-time school record and OCAA record of 42 
consecutive conference wins. Of note, the Lords will enter the 2005-06 OCAA 
Conference season sitting at 43 straight conference wins after going 12-0 
last year.

The Lords Fastball program is highly respected in the province, as well 
south of the border in New York, Illinois and Michigan State. The team went 
2-2 this past year against very tough US competition.

The team plays its home games right on campus at Durham Field which 
includes a PA booth, electronic scoreboard and red clay infield. A graduate 
of Durham College himself, Coach Nemish resides in Oshawa and enjoys golf 
in the off-season. The veteran Coach is the winningest coach in OCAA 
Women?s Fastball history and reached the 200 career win milestone on 
October 5th, 2002. He is an extremely disciplined coach who expects control 
and dedication on and off the field from his team members, including the 
importance of academic success.

2005-06 Season Outlook

The Durham College Women?s Fastball Team enters the 2005-06 OCAA Collegiate 
fastball season as defending 3-time Ontario Champions and the owners of a 
monster 43 game conference winning streak.

Coach Nemish and the 12-time OCAA Champions have not lost an OCAA 
Conference Game since September 13th, 2002, where they dropped a 7-3 
decision to Canadore College. The very next day, the Lords defeated 
Canadore College 3-0 to start an amazing record win streak which now stands 
at 43. This record streak continues into its 4th season and includes 3 
consecutive OCAA Gold Medals.

The Lords open defence of their titles on September 15th at home on campus 
vs. Kitchener?s Conestoga College CONDORS. They will also look to keep 
their amazing streak going as they open the 2005-06 season.

A highly talented roster of student-athletes have worn the Green & Gold 
during this streak and are responsible along with Head Coach Jim Nemish and 
Assistants Mal Swift and Rosemary Theriault. The amazing streak spans 3 
seasons and now enters its 4th season!

Just going over the PRAWN list and as near as I can tell we got to see 
around 29 (or 28%) of the 102 ranked PRAWN:(Bolded brackets represents # of 
PRAWNS on each team.  Newfoundland and Quebec teams did not have a PRAWN 
rep. Actually more than 28% when you consider some on the PRAWN list still 
not playing or no longer play senior ball.

Subject: Prawn Ruling

Gentlemen....

I like many of you have heard the results of the Prawn vote. I have no
hesitation in saying that this is the most ubsurd rule you could have
invented. The purpose for this email is not to ruffle feathers, which I am
sure it will. The purpose is to see who out there really agrees with this
decision. Player reps....I have a question. Are you in fact "player reps"?
Cause I know for a fact, that this Prawn rule did not stand a snowball's
chance in hell of passing, if all the players voted. I suspect that many of
the player reps forgot their title. Come on fellas...lets get serious here.
This rule...not only do you have to be a lawyer to figure it out, you are
penalizing players for getting allstar status! What if a player works 10
years in this sport....finally achieves allstar status...then his team
decides to fold. Does he stand a chance on playing on any of the top 10
teams in the country? Not a chance. What about the players who .....hmmm for
a lack of better words...play way above their heads..have a good week...they
become allstar status...many of them have just cut their own
throats...no...the ruling did! I am not sure if it is too late to reconsider
this ruling, but I suggest before this rule is carved in stone (maybe it has
been), the ISC should make a better effort to hear from their PLAYERS. Since
I first heard of the Prawn idea, I have spoken to a great deal of players
about. 2 players. 2 players have been in favor of it. It just so
happens...that those 2 players have a great deal of influence on how the
vote ended up. I challenge the ISC to broaden their research with respect to
the ruling. Ask the players. How many player reps are there? How many
players are there? I suggest that the player reps did not represent the
voice of the players. Those of you that voted in favor of the
ruling...perhaps some of the lower ranked clubs. How are you going to feel
when your star players are scooped by the top 10 or 15 teams? Its going to
happen. Thats a fact.

Players...I know your out there...I have spoken to many of you...Tell people
what you think. Maybe we waited too long. I for one, never believed the
ruling would fly. I guess I underestimated the power of those who wanted it
voted in. Someone needs to do something about this. And its you the players
that are going to have to voice your opinions. If the ISC hears from
everyone out there, and the vote is for the Prawn ruling..then so be it....I
can live with the result. But if you find the opposite, please listen to
your players. After all, its the players that play the game.

Respectfully,

Dean Holoien

Re Dean Holoien's comment-- Very good stuff indeed. I am a lawyer and I 
couldn't figure PRAWN out, either. I can't even get the intention behind 
it, but even assuming it's well-meant, we all known with what the road to 
hell is paved.

Hi Al,
This e-mail is to give support to what Dean Holoein wrote about the PRAWN rule.
I'm sure that a lot of people is on your list so it could be good if 
players from around the world can express their thoughts about this rule.

I have had a lot of trouble understanding this PRAWN ruling ,and even after 
reading Deans interpretation still partly in the dark.
I have heard a lot of players saying they are not for it and one player Rep 
against it.
I think a survey to  players (especially ones attending the ISC World 
tournament) would have been a good idea to get a more overall response 
instead of ISC commissioners and Player Reps having the final say.

Subject: The Decline of the ISC
Date: Sun, 18 Sep 2005 14:59:28 -0400




After countless conversations about the latest PRAWN rule I decided to put 
my two cents worth out for public consumption.  I have been privy to quite 
a few emails from the "powers that be" so my tone might not be as forgiving 
as some but it gets exhausting year after year to keep swinging at 
air.  I'll apologize for the length and the sarcasm in advance.

The latest way to screw up the ISC World Championship might be the most 
laughable one yet.  I, like most players had no idea that something as 
ridiculous as this rule would ever be put in motion let alone pass.  I 
guess we the players are to blame for sitting back and letting someone take 
what was once ours.  The opportunity to win a World Championship!!!

Let's all laugh together as we look at a couple of facts.  The ISC took a 
perfectly good 48 team double knock out tourney and turned it in to a pool 
play event in order to keep a few teams around a couple of days longer 
regardless if they were getting beat 18-0 with 9 guys because half their 
team left Monday morning to go back to work.

That wasn't good enough so now they make two super pools so the big teams 
can put on a show during the first weekend of the ISC instead of the last 
weekend which in my mind seems a little backwards but that's just me.

In the mean time they have come up with a rule to restrict players from 
playing out of area.  The OOA storm passed through and people made their 
peace with it but that wasn't good enough.  They now have to put in a rule 
that contradicts the OOA rule by saying that you can play in area but only 
if you haven't been successful in the ISC before.  Does that make 
sense?  Not to me!

I almost forgot, this is the kicker...because of the new "Super Pool" idea, 
they have made it really tough for the superstars in the world to make All 
World.  Conversely, it is much easier for the rest of the teams in pools 
c-h to make All World simply because they don't have to face the best 
pitchers or the best hitters hence filling the weaker teams full of PRAWNS 
thus not allowing them to make additions the following year.  That makes 
sense...doesn't it?

I'm looking forward to these conversations...
"Congratulations, you had a tough year but a great week.  You made all 
world, that's great, by the way, I'm sorry you can't play here anymore but 
I think they only have three PRAWNS on that team in Iowa...give them a 
call...damn, you can't...you are out of area...you could always go to 
modified I guess."  GREAT IDEA BOYS

Essentially this rule allows all teams loaded with PRAWNS to remain 
together until retirement and allows no other teams the opportunity to try 
and chase them down.  I guess maybe that is what the ISC had in mind when 
they decided to play all the great games on the first weekend instead of 
the last.

Here are some questions that the players should be asking.  Why are player 
reps acting alone?  Who are some of the player reps and why would we have 
player reps representing our interests when they don't play the game any 
longer?  Who votes on the All World players?  How could such a prestigious 
yet ARBITRARY award dictate the fate of a ball team/player.

Here's a couple of thoughts...don't make the All World team on purpose so 
you have no boundaries...talk to one of your buddies that votes so you 
don't make the All World team so you have no boundaries...team up in a 6-0 
game so your stats aren't that good so your aren't All World and have no 
boundaries...take the nothing game off in your pool play so you don't have 
enough plate appearances so you don't make All World so you have no 
boundaries.  I'm not saying guys would do this but my point is...THEY 
COULD!!!

Another thought...god forbid if someone like Victoria wanted to put a team 
back together for the ISC's in Kitchener.  A place loaded with tradition 
and talent wouldn't be able to because most guys out there have at some 
point or another won something.  I suppose they could send 9 teams to the 
ISC in order to have all their pitchers be allowed to play...after all, 
there is sooooo much money in Canadian softball according to the "powers 
that be" that 8 other sponsors would love to have Korrey, Colin, Peach, 
Smitty...etc and it would be easy for them to throw a team together to get 
to Kitchener.

I encourage players to voice there opinion, hopefully it is not too late to 
have this thing rescinded.  From what I have heard, there are a lot of 
teams that are simply going to pack it in.  Make no mistake, we are 
watching the decline of the ISC.

regards,
Todd Martin

Monkton, ON


First of all, kudos to both Dean and Todd for coming forth and voicing 
their concerns on this issue.

You have both hit the nail on the head!!! - well written!!
Let me add this if I may...

Gentlemen/women of the ISC - governors,commisioners, player reps etc..

Your mandate of doing what is BEST for the game, and assuring that the 
FINEST players and the BEST teams participate for the World Championship is 
all for not.

  Todd mentions, he has "heard" that teams may simply pack it in. I will go 
as far to say that I "know for fact" that a "number"  of  Top - 10 teams 
are very close to doing so. I will also state, that there are a handfull of 
other Top-10 teams who are considering not attending the ISC anymore.

The game needs the Sonnentags, Doc Simmons, Rod Petersons, Darren Derricks 
and so on... But the time has come and there are those who WILL say - 
enough is enough. Too many rules, too many headaches, too much to worry about.

It will be a very sad day when we lose sponsors, managers, players and 
teams (World - class teams!!)  due to rules that are not well thought out.

Ottawa, ON


The Gee Gees were in Napanee on the weekend to start the 2005 season.  They 
played division rival Queens to start the year before moving to play York 
and then last years champions University of Guelph. The team started strong 
with a 8-0 win against Queens behind massive triples from Nicole Dunlop and 
Lindsey McLaughlin.  Lynn Kearns pitched a gem in her first game as a Gee 
Gee keeping Gaels hitters off balance in a game that was stopped after 5 
innings.

The second game saw the team up against some of the former Gee Gees 
coaching staff. The team jumped to an early 6-0 lead in the first and 
cruised from then on.  Jillian Taylor, another Gee Gee rookie pitcher was 
excellent in throwing a shutout in her first gamein the Garnett and 
Grey.  The team added a run in the 6th to force an early end.

The third game on Saturday evening would prove to be an excellent one 
facing the last two OIWFA champions.  Guelph had a great start to their 
season as well beating Carleton and the University of Toronto.  The Gee 
Gees jumped to a 1-0 lead in the second inning and the score remained there 
for 6 innings.  Melissa Oddie was pitching for Guelph who won the National 
Championship with the Senior Brampton Blazers this summer.  In the bottom 
of the 6th with the bases loaded Lynn Kearns unleashed a triple down the 
left field line to break the game open.  3 runs score and the Gee Gees went 
on to a 4-0 victory. Lindsey Hutton took the win in her first start of the 
year.  She threw 7 sparkling innings allowing no runs on 5 scattered hits.


The team started slow against rival University of Toronto in their only 
game on Sunday.  Behing Kingston native Ashley Sands who pitched a great 
game in front of a whole pack of relatives.  In an intense game that gave 
credit to the friendly rivalry between the two teams the Varsity Blues 
jumped to a 2-0 lead on several uncharacteristic Gee Gee errors.  The team 
struggled offensively through 5 innings, as the team left several runners 
in scoring position.  A massive double by Pam Hrick and a pair of singles 
by rookie Heather Huggins led to no runs before a single by Sam Pantalone 
and an Erin Durant two-run double to tied it up.  The game was knotted at 
two going into the 7th inning when the Blues pushed across the go ahead 
run. Lindsey McLaughlin entered the game for the Garnett in Grey and made a 
momentum building catch on a bunt before leading off the inning with a 
double.  Another double from Danna Masters sent the game into extra 
innings.  Smart baserunning and a Toronto error allowed the winning run to 
score to cap off a Ottawa U come from behind win. Allison Hibbet caught the 
final game for the Gee Gees and capped off an excellent weekend for her. 
She played great defense and contributed with several key hits.

The team will be in very good shape in the cirlcle for this year and years 
to come with their pitching staff.  Aces wild is usually a good sign for 
teams, but this team has 4 of a kind.  4 very strong pitchers will help 
lead this team for the season.  Two rookies Lynn Kearns and Jillian Taylor 
were fantastic in their debuts, throwing a shutout each and hitting very 
well.  Ashley Sands and Lindsey Hutton are returning aces from the 2004 
season and both threw gems of their own.

The team is thrilled to have help from Jim Coudry who is one of the best 
pitchers ever to play for Canada.  He has won 3 ISF World Championships and 
holds the record for most innings pitched at the World level. Jim helped 
Team Ontario's pitchers in their preparation for the Canada Games and has 
been invaluable in teachig the Gee Gees pitchers from his vast knowledge of 
the game.  Thank you Jim!

The team heads to St. Catharines next weekend to compete against the 
Western division at Jordan Lions Park. As always fan support is much 
appreciated, come watch some of the best ball in Ontario.

Mitchell, ON


Offense was not a problem for the Bridgeport Braves on playoff Sunday in the
South Perth Men's Fastball League playoff tournament in Mitchell, as they
amassed 25 runs in two big victories over long-time nemesis' Sebringville
Sting and Tavistock Merchants to win their first-ever league championship.

The Braves whipped the defending champion Sting 10-4 Sunday, advancing
directly to the final where they would have to beaten twice. Although
Tavistock tried to do just that, and scored 10 runs themselves, were dumped
15-10 in a wild championship game.

Bridgeport used a power-laden lineup to capture their first league title,
finally climbing to the top after three misses in the finals in their five
years in the league.

Tournament MVP Jodie Schnarr led the attack from his customary lead-off spot
in the batting order, going 10-for-20 during the tournament, while brothers
Jim was the winning pitcher over both Sebringville and Tavistock, and Jay
was a standout defensively and offensively from his shortstop position.

Steve Cook, for Tavistock, was judged the top pitcher, while Sebringville
earned the President's Award for winning the regular season crown.

Sunday's results from the double-knockout tournament were as follows:

#25 - Tavistock 4, St. Marys 3
WP - Cook, Steve; LP - Brookshaw, Scott

#26 - Elmira Cubs 8, Moorefield 1
WP - Gillow, Bob; LP - Coverdale, Tim

#27 - Bridgeport 10, Sebringville 4
WP - Schnarr, Jim; LP - Scott, Don

#28 - Tavistock 5, Elmira Cubs 4

#29 - Tavistock 8, Sebringville 2
WP - Pinder, Mike; LP - Scott, Don

#30 - Bridgeport 15, Tavistock 10
WP - Schnarr, Jim; LP - Pinder, Mike

Tournament MVP - Jodie Schnarr, Bridgeport
Top Pitcher - Steve Cook, Tavistock

From: Al Doran <aldoran at pmihrm.com>
Subject: TidBits, Archive Crumbs, News, and other menu items


For those not familiar with tidbits, its ballyard rumours, nothing
more. Maybe no fact here at all, but same kind of stories you hear in the
ballpark. Only those mentioned can confirm or deny these stories,
and traditionally they tell us nada, or hardly ever, but they can
straighten the story out any time.

We should add that there are guidelines for posting to the list and for
submitting TidBits, see them at:
http://www.alsfastball.com/webstart/news1.htm



Subscribers tell me that TidBits is the most read and most popular of all 
the items we send out to our subscriber list.

I am going to take advantage of that fact and ask that all subscribers take 
note that eScribe is still down, has been since about day two of the ISC's 
in Eau Claire, but we never missed a beat, thanks to Saint James of 
FastpitchWest.com, our good friend Jim Flanagan has provided us with an 
excellent back up site with http://fastpitchwest.com/alsfastball

As a bit of an update on eScribe I approached Scott Paterson, the owner of 
eScribe (a web service that hosts hundreds of other Lists in addition to 
Al's Fastball) and Scott declined all suggestions of selling the eScribe 
software and/or the Al's Fastball archive contents to us. This may mean 
that someday he may or may not plan to bring eScribe back. He has done it 
before, most recently in June 2004 when all 3 of his servers had to be 
replaced and he spent tens of thousands of dollars out of his own pocket to 
bring it back. The service was down for weeks while he installed new 
servers and recovered all the archived materials. It has been down for 
shorter periods of times due to other technical problems, but our latest 
loss of service is by far the longest and most frustrating.

As a further update, both Jim Flanagan and I are exploring other options 
for hosting an archive site for Al's Fastball news items. I will have a 
site to test this week and hopefully will soon be able to share with all 
the fans who hunger for news of our sport and also wish to search back in 
time to find articles of interest. What we posted to eScribe may be gone 
forever.

I am still getting daily emails and indeed even phone calls, asking "why is 
your site down", which drives me nuts as MY site has never gone down, and 
in fact if they went to http://www.AlsFastball.com they would see the link 
to the working archive site we have been using since the day eScribe went 
down, so please, bookmark http://fastpitchwest.com/alsfastball
and tell a friend about it.

If I had a dollar for every person who walked up to me in St. Thomas at the 
Canadians and asked "why is your site down" I could have bought an extra 
large order of PRAWNS - ouch, but that leads me to remind everyone to visit 
http://fastpitchwest.com/alsfastball if you want to see the latest feedback 
on the PRAWNS discussion.  A warning, I am NOT going to publish every short 
comment I receive on this topic, but will consider new material as it comes 
in. There are many people one can write to if they wish to express an 
opinion on whether they support or reject the PRAWNS idea or not, like Dean 
Holoien and Todd Martin who started the dialogue, or Ken Hackmeister on 
behalf of the ISC, he is always open to the thoughts and suggestions of the 
people who play and watch the game. Or for that matter your local ISC 
commissioner, especially if you are a ball player, all their email 
addresses are on the "Contact Us" link at the ISC web site - which I 
include in all my posts to the List.

At http://fastpitchwest.com/alsfastball you will find other news that you 
may have missed, including the sad passing of Joanne Welby on Thursday.


And now for the TidBits, which are always welcome here. Remember, pretend 
you are at the ISC's and listening in to a conversation two rows behind 
you. Its almost a year to go before we have that opportunity again, so 
share any reliable news you have with the rest of the fans.


I have this from a very reliable source, You Will see Ward Gosse of 
Newfoundland pitching for an ISC team in 2006!  You remember Ward 
Gosse?  He caught the attention of the Fastball world at the Canadians in 
St. Thomas when he pitched his Newfoundland Impact Signs right down to the 
Championship game on Sunday - winning a Silver for the popular team from 
the Rock. Ward and his team mates gave a large crowd of die hard fastball 
fans a week of pure enjoyment watching these boys play.  Well, in 2006 you 
will see Ward in an ISC uniform, we just do not know which one yet, he is 
still waiting for the phone to ring, and you can expect more than one team 
will call him. He is spending the winter on the Rock keeping in shape for 
spring and working with more future fastball stars in Newfoundland.


On that note, I am remiss in not thanking the host committee in St. Thomas 
Ontario for running a simply fantastic national championship. The softball 
gods are to be thanked for a spectacular week of great fastball weather, 
but a large group of very capable and motivated volunteers made it come off 
without a hitch.  Led by Bill Horne (who also found time to coach the gold 
medal winning host team) and by Scott Kennedy, nothing was left to 
chance.  Well done guys!  While I have never been good at writing down 
names, a couple I absolutely cannot miss out on are Gary Wren and his 
extremely capable assistants Dan, Tim, Debbie and Michelle, they ran the 
Stats trailer which I worked out of and where I received 100% cooperation 
on getting news out as fast as it happened.


More TidBits

The PRAWNS issue has complicated things in Owen Sound where things are very 
serious with the new Owen Sound / Denny Bruckert / Peter P team.

Notably, the price on players like Frank Cox and Mike Taylor probably 
doubled, as for some strange reason, they do not appear on the PRAWN list - 
hard to belive these guys have never won all world award before.

Most bets are on that Cox and Taylor, will end up playing along with 
buddies Rob and Sean O'Brien in either Owen Sound, or that other hotbed of 
fastball New York NY, and no, not with the NYY, but with Patsy's.

I am sure there will be more to come

p.s.


Please note that I have added on a Eulogy to Gord Newman at his tribute 
site, as given by his sons, Ty and Paul last year.

I would like to ask one question regarding this Pawn Rule:

If this rule is designed to even out the talent so that the so called elite 
teams can't load up their rosters, why don't we go back to a double knockout?

We will now have so many even teams that a double knockout should work 
perfectly again. All 40 teams will be even and anybody can win!!! Or will 
we be able to field 40 teams now when the so called "elite" teams start 
looking for players who are not Prawns. These players will likely be hand 
picked from the up and coming teams, leaving the middle of the road teams 
without their best non-prawn players.

Nice rule fellas! You are heading in the same direction as the ASA. I think 
there were a grand total of 6 teams at the ASA this year. The rules they 
placed on imports sure worked well!

I echo the sentiments of Todd Martin and Dean Holeion. This rule is 
idiotic. The Player Reps act on their own without getting info. from the 
players. I'm not sure who my area rep is and I never had a vote. I spoke 
with Todd twatchman about it but he isn't my area rep. He just happens to 
be a teammate. Otherwise I didn't hear anything about it until the ISC.


With just a touch of sarcasism

  Alvinston On.


GLENCOE CAPTURES GAME ONE IN BEST OF FIVE SEMI-FINALS

Last evening, played in front of approximately 150-200 fans, on a beautiful 
evening for ball, the Glencoe Astros defeated the Alvinston Indians in a 
great fastball game for the fans, by the final score of 7-5 in 11 innings.
The Astros go up 1-0 in the best of five semi-finals series, in the St. 
Thomas and District Fastball League Playoffs.  The Astros went up 2-0 early 
in the game, only to see Alvinston tie it up in the bottom of the third.
Glencoe added a run in the fourth, and so did the Indians to notch the game 
at 3.  Then no runs were scored until the top of the tenth, when with the 
international rule in effect, Glencoe scored a run, but so did the Indians 
in their home half.  Now at 4-4, Glencoe added three runs in the top of the 
11th, while Alvinston added only one.  Final score 7-5.  This see-saw 
battle matched Glencoe's pitcher Shaun Winship, against Alvinston's 
moundman Doug Charlton.  Winship fanned 13 Alvinston batters in the victory 
allowing 13 hits, while Charlton struckout 9 in the loss allowing 11 
hits.  Scoring for the Indians were Marc Greenwood (2), Scott Smith, Ryan 
Chapman, and Andy Triest.  Driving in the runs were Greenwood, Charlton, 
Joe Triest, Jason Hope, and Smith.  Marc Greenwood hit a solo home run for 
the Indians, while Greg Huston for Glencoe also went deep in the game.  J. 
Triest and Smith each had 3 hits in the matchup for the home 
team.  Greenwood, A. Triest, and Mike Black added two hits a piece in the 
contest.

Next game is Tuesday in Glencoe beginning at 8:00pm, in what is already 
shaping up to be a great semi-final series.

To: fastball at pmihrm.com



We keep hearing from the top ten teams.  I do not play
but have attended the last four world tournaments.
The game is declining.  One of the reasons is because
the big money teams are running the small market teams
out of the game.  Of course the big teams will not
like the PRAWN.  The big money players are only
concerned with their pocketbooks and not the game.
The big money players will lose money and that is why
they are upset.

PRAWN will spread the talent out.  I have heard some
players say that they will have no place to play.
Start your own team and see how tough it is to survive
like the lower level teams.

PRAWN is good for the sport and not good for the big
time player's pockets.

The majority of the players are for this that I have
talked to.  I have been told that the commissioners
who voted this in are players and managers.  They
voted it in by a landslide.  Just because a few
popular players start whining about the rule does not
mean that the ISC should change it.

Good job ISC.

This is what the sport needed.

Fenelon Falls, Ontario

Bobcaygeon Jermyn Lumber finished up the season in the Fenelon Falls Men's 
Fastball League with a record of 18 wins and 1 loss and went into the 
weekend's play-off tournament this past weekend with a 1st round bye.

The Lumbermen's first action was against Sports Lettering Co. who had 
earlier defeated last year's league champions Lindsay Paper Box by a margin 
of 18-4.

Ian Knott went 7 strong for Bobcaygeon to defeat Sports Lettering in a 
well-played game 3-0.

W.P. - Ian Knott (Bobcaygeon): 7 I.P., 0 earned runs, 17 K's
L.P.- James ? (Sports Lettering): 6 I.P., 2 earned runs, 5 K's


Jermyn's next game was versus the hot-hitting Woodville Coffeeway squad. 
Nick McHugh struck out 15 to earn the 5-0 Jermyn Lumber victory. Nathan 
Kish hammered a three-run shot in the fifth to blow it open for Bobcaygeon.

W.P. - Nick McHugh (Bobcaygeon): 7 I.P. 0 earned runs, 15 K's
L.P. - Joe Lancaster (Woodville): 6 I.P. 5 earned runs, 2 K's


Jermyn's now waited to see who they would face in the final.

It ended up being Woodville once again as Coffeeway defeated Sports 
Lettering to get back to the final.


Nathan Coppaway started for Bobcaygeon with Coffeeway countering with the 
veteran Joe Lancaster. Bobcaygeon was just too well rested on this day and 
dominated the young Woodville team. Dave Taylor and Aaron Jermyn homered 
for Bobcaygeon and Nathan Coppaway struck out 15 as the Lumbermen won the 
final 11-0 and avoided the "if" game to win their 4th championship in 5 years.

W.P.- Nathan Coppaway (Bobcaygeon): 7 I.P. 0 earned runs, 15 K's
L.P. - Joe Lancaster (Woodville): 5 I.P. 6 earned runs, 1 K

Bobcaygeon outscored the opposition 19-0 in three games and three starters 
gave up 0 earned runs and struck out 47 combined.


League individual awards were also handed out.

Regular Season Champions: Bobcaygeon Jermyn Lumber (18 wins, 1 loss)
Most Improved Palyer: Kyle Switzer (Sports Lettering Co.)
Best Pitcher: Jim Spiers (Lindsay Pontiac)
Most Valuable Player: Duane Webster (Woodville/ Coffeeway)
League Champions: Bobcaygeon Jermyn Lumber (3-0)

Subject: Prawn Rule, etc..



After having read a number of comments on AL'S FASTBALL from people who are 
involved in fastball, either as fans, players, or administrators, it seems 
obvious what the immediate solution is: rescind the PRAWN rule for further 
study and leave
"as is" the out-of-area rule for the 2006 season.

I have not read this amount of intense dislike for a rule since the
Softball Canada/OASA rule on pitching in the late 1990's.
We all know what a disaster that turned out to be!

It should be apparent that a large problem in North American fastball is a 
lack of
quality American-born players (pitchers and fielders) who are competent in 
the circle and at the plate.
This shortage of quality is a direct result of the disappearance of the USA 
players
from Major Men's fastpitch.

In 1981, my first time at an ISC World Tournament, there were 25 All-World 
players named to the 2 All-World Teams, including 2 Canadian and 1 New 
Zealand pitcher.
The rest (2 pitchers and 20 position players) were Americans. For those who 
like
percentages, 88% of the 1981 ISC All-World Teams were American-born.

At the 2002 ISC World, of the 30 All-World players, 40% (12) were 
American-born.
I suspect that percentage has continued to drop 3 years later.

Major men's fastpitch (especially) is in deep trouble and the solution will 
not be
found in a "chosen few" creating new rules.
What is needed (and this has ALWAYS been true) is some progressive thinking
administrators in ALL organizations working together.  However that will never
happen (as we all know) because of the "turf wars" that continue to take 
place in
spite of the slow(?) death of major men's fastball.

If softball organizations wish to successfully continue to showcase their 
major tournaments then they had also better focus on cutting their costs.
It is tough now to get host cities to bid on the major tournaments due to the
high cost associated with the off-field activities.
The best solution is to cut the dead wood out of these organizations.

It is ironic that my favourite whipping boy (the OASA) who used to be guilty of
this very practise have now seen the light and are "lopping off the dead 
branches" while others continue along with that same old tired philosophy: 
what worked
30 years ago will work today.

If an organization has recognized those who have given long-term service 
with honour
(or in some cases dishonour) what else needs to be done?  Thank them and 
push them out the door. Don't saddle the host cities with your deadwood.

Thanks for listening.

After reading John Mikan's response to the prawn rule, I would like to
play devils advocate on behalf of the smaller market teams and argue
against his belief that the new prawn rule will help.

Your argument that the prawn will prevent big money teams from running
the small market teams out of the game may be very well be wrong.  It
may in fact work in the opposite manner.  You take Kitchener, who is not
a so called 'big-money team' as an example.  With there current
situation and the Prawn rule, they are unable to add a local pitcher
like Paul Koert because he is a Prawn and they already have Todd Martin.
So what do they do if they want to improve their team in 2006?  They
look elsewhere.  Do they go after a Nick Underhill, Trevor Eithier, Sean
Whitten and bring them in which will hurt SoCal or Vancouver and Aspen.
Do they grab take a Matt Bramwell from the young Frankenmuth team.  Or
do they stay local and take the young Phibbs kid from Jarvis.  This same
situation can be applied to the Farm if two of their current pitchers
departed, County if Mata or Kirkpatrick left or any team that has the
Prawn limitations set on it.

The same scenario can be applied to a position player as well.  For
example if Kris Kiefel decides to not come back to the US in 2006 and
County needs to find a SS.  Due to Prawn, they are limited in their
search.  So where do they turn?  Do they grab Kevin Schellenberg, Ian
Fehrman or Evan Boyd.  All of which would hurt the local teams that
developed them.

The Prawn rule in effect promotes the raiding of the young teams that
are building and may kill them off before they even get a chance to
taste any success.  It does not promote local development and it does
not level the playing field (if that is what they are after?).

As for your popular players whining comment.  I think it was put out
there more for discussion and to try to provide an opinion on the
situation and their views as to what impact it will have on the game
that we play.  Now the ISC has stated that an open forum was held on the
Friday after the managers meeting to discuss the Prawn and power pool
ideas.  My question is how many players were in Eau Claire at the time
of the meeting.  How many players were aware of the proposal and
understood how it worked.  Did the player reps know how the proposal
worked to be able to discuss with players from their area prior to the
open forum?  Just questions that it seems some people are looking for
questions on.

As for the power-pool concept, how could they look for feedback or
discuss the concept before it was even tried?  Well, that is another
situation, maybe we should save it for a later date.


Regards,

Pat Graham

August 2006
Kimberly, WI


Hello Fastpitch World.  I am writing on behalf of the crew who is working
tirelessly to make the 2006 NAFA World Series a huge success.  They are
shooting for 150 teams over the various divisions.  I can tell you they
have some very good ideas in store and what I'm going to propose to the
teams is the invitation to play in the Open division.  The Open event will
be held at Kimberly's Sunset Park, host to many World Tournaments and in
my opinion the finest facility to host a major softball event.  We are
seeking the best teams possible to make it as strong as possible.  They
have ideas in place to POSSIBLY run this even in conjunction with the
Women's Pro  Fastpitch Championships.  That event is covered by ESPN. The
committee is looking at doing is having a double header each night of a
women's game and a men's game.  Nothing is set in stone at this particular
time.  What I need is responses from Open teams interested in
participating.
I can tell you that the Circle Tap team will be competing.  We'd love to
see the likes of other top rated teams in this event.  Dates are flexible
at this point, they are looking at the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday after
the WT.  They talked about maybe some prize money for 3 places.  Their
goal is 8-12 of the best to compete in the Open division.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me and I will get
answers for you from the directors.  If your team is interested, please
let me know.

Thanks

Subject: ISC PRAWN Position
Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2005 21:08:17 +0000


Since announcing the PRAWN rule effective for 2006 ISC play, there have 
been numerous and predictable comments made by various individuals.  We 
want to take this opportunity to fully explain the ISC's position on why 
this rule is being adopted.

State of the Game - No one involved in our sport can deny the declining 
state of men's fastball.  We are continually losing teams, mainly because 
sponsors cannot or will not continue spending the amount of money currently 
needed to sponsor a competitive, top level team.  We have tried various 
means over the years to reverse this trend but as long as there are 
sponsors willing to invest $200,000+ for their teams, the current trend is 
likely to continue.

Spread The Talent - One of the desired affects of PRAWN is to spread the 
talent among more teams.  The feeling is certain existing teams are just 
lacking that one key pitcher or player.  Current lower level teams can also 
see where a key world-class pitcher or player could turn them into World 
Tournament contenders or at least have a chance at a decent finish in the 
ISC World Tournament.

The Big Four - No, not teams.  This is about the various segments needed to 
continue staging a successful 40-team ISC World Tournament.  Those segments 
are teams, fans, host city and the ISC as an organization.  If any one of 
these segments is not happy or their expectations are not met, the 
tournament is not successful.

Host City - 2 of the past 3 years, the ISC has had only one city bidding 
for the World Tournament.  To be a successful host city, there are various 
components to have in hand.  Adequate facilities.  Fan base.  Competitive 
host team.  Volunteers.  A typical host city will have an operating budget 
of close to $250,000US.  To have a chance at financial success, the host 
must have the economic impact brought by 80 teams (WT & II) and game 
attendance to generate sufficient sales revenue from parking, admissions, 
concessions, programs, beer, photography and souvenirs.  Remember, if there 
is no host city, there is no ISC World Tournament.

Teams - In Eau Claire, we had 40-teams with none to spare.  There was not 
another team in North America that wanted to be in the ISC World Tournament 
that wasn't there.  And of the 40, two were International teams.   Re-read 
State of the Game above.  I could be wrong but I don't believe many, if 
any, of our current players have ever played competitive fastball in a 
setting quite like the ISC World Tournament.  5000+ fans per night, 
extensive local newspaper and TV coverage of the tournament, Worldwide 
Streaming of numerous games, the carnival atmosphere at the park, the Hall 
of Fame inductions, the Bridge To The Future clinic for local kids and the 
40-team ISC II Tournament of Champions nearby.  I hope everyone has noticed 
and apprciates the number of ISC II players who attend the World Tournament 
every day as fans.

Fans - People can say what they want but in Eau Claire, the Power Pool 
concept attracted more fans to round robin games from Friday thru Wednesday 
than we had in Kimberly in 2003 or Kitchener in 2002 or Eau Claire in 
2001.  Fans do not want to spend money or waste time watching a 17-0, 
5-inning blowout.   But they will and do come to see top 10 teams play one 
another.  If the fans don't come, the host won't be successful and the 
teams won't be happy.

The ISC - To operate the ISC organization, we need the standard bid fee our 
host city guarantees, just to run our organization each year.  If we have 
to lower our minimum bid fee, we have no choice but to reduce or eliminate 
services we currently provide, i.e., Web Site, Guide, Streaming, 
Statistics, Internet information continually updated, Team Travel Fund, 
etc.  All those services cost money.

As a related aside, the ISC has now instituted two changes beginning in 
2006 to help lower our host city's expenses.  These changes are all 
internal and won't impact teams or fans.  But they will certainly help our 
host cities.  This cost reduction project will continue with other host 
cost-cutting efforts.

Options To PRAWN - The PRAWN concept was developed by the ISC Player Rep 
Committee as a means of spreading the talent among more teams thereby 
creating not only more teams but teams who can be legitimately competitive 
in the ISC World Tournament.  Our original effort many years ago, was the 
Out of Area rule which has been moderately successful and just last year 
the Pitcher List concept which was approved and rescinded because it would 
have had zero effect.

In reading many of the criticisms about the PRAWN rule, it is disappointing 
that no one has offered any suggestions or options.  It's easy to 
criticize.  How about some alternative ideas?  Too many of those commenting 
are looking at the overall picture from only one or two perspectives.  As 
an organization, we have to look at what is best for every involved segment.

Double Elimination? - Many are still critical of the ISC's move to a round 
robin format.  Everyone, including the well-sponsored teams, enjoy the aura 
of a 40-team tournament.  Right?  How many teams would we get if we went 
back to double elimination?  I guarantee we would have no international 
teams and my guess is we'd be lucky to attract 24 total teams.  What's 
wrong with 24 teams?  Nothing from a pure competition standpoint but our 
hosts are not going to bid our minimum for a 24 team tournament where some 
teams get eliminated on the 2nd or 3rd day.  It's a cycle and all parts of 
the cycle must be satisfied.

Too Many Rules? - We have been criticized for having too many rules 
governing players and their options.  Virtually every player control rule 
we have adopted has been for a stop-gap purpose as certain teams do 
anything and everything possible to circumvent a rule or figure out how to 
get around it.  One manager has already told me of a loophole in the PRAWN 
rule.  Maybe he's right, I just don't know.  Details haven't been 
provided.  So in less than a week, someone has spent considerable time 
trying to figure out how to "break" the intent of the rule.  Why wasn't 
that time spent trying to figure out how to field the best possible team 
within the structure and intent of the rule?  We don't create new rules for 
the sake of rule creation.  We are forced to new rules by a handful of 
individuals who spend inordinate amounts of time trying to figure out ways 
to circumvent the rules we have.

Summary - I am very proud of our ISC body and the talented, dedicated 
individuals who invest unbelievable amounts of time to better our sport and 
our organization.  Do we always do things right?  No, but it's not for lack 
of effort.  We're trying very hard to maintain the sport we love and 
hopefully see it grow.  We continually try to make each World Tournament a 
little better than the prior one.  We try to encourage and assist in 
player/pitcher development but don't seem to get the needed help from those 
outside the organization.

Is PRAWN the answer?  Obviously, no one knows and won't know until we have 
at least a year of experience with it.  I honestly believe the first year 
will be the most difficult.  After that, it should smooth out.  Let's give 
it a try.

Las Vegas, NV


      Hello Al from Las Vegas, Nv. I hope all is well with you. I see there 
is a lot of discussion in the ISC with the new PRAWN rule. It sounds 
interesting, and hopefully a way to get more teams and sponsors involved in 
the game by spreading out the talent pool.

      To all that have made the trip to Las Vegas for the SPRING SWING 
FASTPITCH WEEKEND in the months of March or April for the last 6 seasons, I 
just wanted to let you know of my new email address: dvbell22 at cox.net
      I am hopeful to have the SSFW once again in 2006 to kick off 
everyone's respective seasons. There is a slim possibility that I might not 
be able to get the tournament off as I am up for a head coaching position 
at a high school I represent. If for some reason I don't get the position, 
then I will more than likely host the tournament once again.
      However, one casualty is the FALL CLASSIC that has been played in 
October or November. This one was in question last year because of the 
inability to get fields when I wanted to put on the tourney. Now, another 
hobby of mine has jumped in the way.
      For around 20 years I have been a high school public address 
announcer for football, basketball, and marching band competitions. This 
year Palo Verde High School, where my two daughters attended, and where I 
have served for the last 8 years as there "Voice of the Panthers", has 
asked me to provide live internet play by play coverage of their football 
and basketball games on www.network1sports.com Needless to say, a Fall 
Classic is out of the question as most know that have been here during that 
time period, that I have little to no help to pull from.
      So please take down my new email, and if you and your team are 
interested in coming to Vegas in March / April for the Spring Swing let me 
know, and I will keep you up to date of the possibility of the tournament 
continuing.
      And, if you're at home on a Friday night throughout the high school 
football season, please listen in live to 
www.network1sports.com/N1PALOVERDE.html at 6:40 pacific time to my 
broadcast, and let me know what you think as I accept all of the 
constructive criticism I can get in my first year of doing play by play. 
You can email me during the game at pvhsvoice at hotmail.com to let me know 
where you are listening from. Hopefully one of these fastpitch tournaments 
I can take my equipment and broadcast games that are being played during it 
and therefore stay involved with the great game of Fastpitch or Fastball.

Thank you, and enjoy your off-season!!!

Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2005 17:54:28 -0700



I'm sure the author(s) of the PRAWN rule had good intentions when they
crafted the new rule but as various scenarios and flaws emerge, I think
it best if we all recognize it as a bad idea and go back to the drawing
board.

Ken Hackmeister expressed his displeasure with the fact that no one had
stepped up and offered an alternative - so here goes. This is my
interpretation of what the ISC and the game of fastpitch should do to
grow the game at all levels.

Funny thing, but the solution is right under our noses. The Out Of Area
(OOA) restriction has worked fairly well. The problem with OOA is that
the big money teams simply pay the relatively small fees and import
whoever they want.

If the fees were increased substantially, it would have an immediate
effect, while not hurting the teams who need to bring in the "ace" to
bolster their staff.

2006 OOA fees!

First import: $500
Second: $1,000
Third: $2,000
Fourth: $4,000
Fifth: $8,000
Sixth: $16,000
Seventh: $32,000
Eighth: $64,000
Ninth: $128,000
Tenth: $256,000

Here are 7 reaons why OOA works better than PRAWN

1. No politics involved.
2. It doesn't penalize a player for acheivment.
3. Promotes grass roots development.
4. Increases revenue to the ISC.
5. Helps fans identify with their "home team".
6. Easy to adminster.
7. It will level the playing field immediately.

I've had 3 ISC executives tell me the the OOA won't work because it will
hurt the small to mid market teams more than the big clubs. I'd like to
hear more about that issue. Who would be hurt? I suggest that for every
team that is hurt, there are scores who would be encouraged to compete.

If the tournament needs 40 teams to be viable, then we've got to take
serious steps to level the playing field.

  Alvinston  ON.



ALVINSTON INDIANS EVEN SEMI-FINAL SERIES

Tuesday evening in front of a solid crowd, the Alvinston Indians travelled 
to Glencoe for game 2 of the semi-final series.  With the Indians down 1-0 
in the series, a win was of the essence to even the series.  Backed by a 4 
hitter and 5 strikeout performance by pitcher Doug Chalrton, the Indians 
did just that.  Charlton shutout the Glencoe squad, and had great defence 
behind him as well, earning the 4-0 victory.  The Indians opened the 
scoring in the first, when with two out Joe Triest reached base on a 
Fielder's choice, advanced to second on a wild pitch, and scored on a RBI 
single by Doug Charlton.  The game stayed 1-0 until the top of the fifth, 
when the Indians struck again.  Andy Triest led off with a single, stole 
second, advanced to third on the over thrown ball to second, and scored on 
a wild pitch.  Mike Black then singled, and scored on a clutch RBI triple 
by Scott Smith.  Joe Triest then hit a sacrafice fly to left-centre, to 
score Smith from third.
With a 4-0 lead, the Indians recorded the final nine outs for the win, and 
most importantly evened the series.  Andy Triest was 2/3 for the Indians in 
the game, while Chris Welch was 2/2 for Glencoe.  The Indians now return to 
home turf Thursday at 8:00pm, in game #3 of the series, in what should 
produce another solid crowd in Alvinston.

Hi Fellas, lots of responses to the last note, thought I would do it again.

TM

The PRAWN Rule does not spread the talent around it is an award given 
arbitrarily that can be won or lost on 1 game, 1 at bat, 1 play.  I still 
have no idea how someone or some committee can want to use this as the only 
criteria to dictate where are a player can or can't play.  It's ridiculous.

Winning All World is primarily about stats, the people that choose the All 
World players certainly do not sit through games until the wee hours making 
notes on how players played in a 17-0 round robin game and I don't blame 
them.  The problem with that is the stats don't always (and more often than 
not, don't) tell the story of how well somebody has played.  The other side 
of the coin, which I eluded in my last email, is there are two distinct 
types of brackets used in the World Tournament.  Super bracket and beer 
bracket!  Am I the only person that sees this?

If there is a burning desire to make change and restrict how much talent 
one team can have at least use criteria that makes sense.  Base your list 
on National Team players or sit a group of people in a room and rank the 
players.  That is still arbitrary but I guarantee that you will come up 
with a list a lot closer to the "cream of the crop" that way than punishing 
some guy that went 10 for 12 in the beer bracket and went home before the 
2nd round starts in the playoffs.

Like I said last year in the annual meeting before the tourney started...if 
you want an option to restrict player movement, draw up zones.  Categorize 
players in areas, not just states and provinces.  Find out how many actual 
players are in each area, even it out that way.  There has to be something 
that makes more sense than PRAWN.  There are about 70 of you according to 
the ISC booklet, put your heads together and come up with something that 
works.

After reading Todd Martin's posts regarding the PRAWN rule and sifting 
through all the info that is out there I'd have to say that I do like the 
spirit of the rule but would have to say that in my opinion it is flawed.



This rule does nothing to protect the smaller teams in their attempt to 
hold onto the talent that they develop. What it does ensure is that big 
money teams that have their PRAWN quotas filled will just have to be even 
more diligent in finding the up and coming talents (that have not made 
All-World yet) on the smaller -budget teams and outbid them for the 
player's services. This does not level the playing field. Instead, it just 
encourages the big-money teams to search for their future PRAWNs because if 
they can get him before he attains PRAWN status- they get to keep him. 
Eventually the bigger teams will be able to field teams consisting entirely 
of PRAWNs should they be able to evaluate talent well enough.



This short-sighted rule also forces some pitchers to travel out of area. 
Take Ontario as an example. We have teams in Kitchener, Jarvis, Innerkip, 
and Six Nations which played in the ISC World Tournament last year. Even if 
you include the possibly of an Owen Sound  team you do not have enough 
spots for the PRAWN pitchers that reside here on at least a part-time 
basis  (six PRAWN pitchers -Todd Martin, Jamie Simpson, Darren Zack, Rob 
O'Brien, Paul Koert, Rob Schweyer). This forces at least one of these 
gentlemen to travel out of area in order to pitch whether he intended to 
travel or not. And, on the off chance that the odd man out on this list 
doesn't garner any attention from an OOA team you have just planned an 
interesting summer on the patio for him.  And, God forbid, if two of these 
guys want to pitch on the same team in order to challenge County's 
two-PRAWN pitching staff, or The Farm's three-PRAWN pitching staff, they 
simply can't do it.



Thirdly, with the current format (Power Pools) I would have to agree with 
others that have stated that a good round robin for a player on an 
11th-40th ranked team may end up in him being a PRAWN based solely on his 
stats against non-power pool teams. This is not a good way to decide where 
players are permitted to play. The likelihood of this individual being on a 
team with PRAWN problems isn't as great within the lower rankings but 
should he wish to move to another team - perhaps because his family moved 
for work - he might not be able to play with a local team due to their 
number of PRAWNs....another player on the patio.



Maybe if we get enough players on the patio we could form another 
team....but then again, we'd have too many PRAWNs.



As for a suggestion: perhaps using limits on the national team players is 
the way to go. I don't see this as having widespread immediate impact but I 
doubt that it would create as many problems either.





I do have to take issue with Todd's comments regarding the pools:

The other side of the coin, which I eluded in my last email, is there are 
two distinct types of brackets used in the World Tournament.  Super bracket 
and beer bracket!  Am I the only person that sees this?



Really now, the beer bracket? I didn't know that there would be an asterisk 
beside the 20 strikeout performance by Todd which I thought was impressive 
regardless of the team that it was against.



Granted there are teams there that get walloped because they are they only 
team in their region and are by default the representative but just because 
you fall below the 10th ranked team does not make you a beer bracket team 
(see Kitchener Hallman Twins).



My team, Jarvis, didn't make the top 10 either. But why should teams that 
are trying to do their best at developing players locally (and keep this 
game alive) instead of raiding small-budget teams be classed as a beer 
bracket team?  We are a young team that isn't yet top 10, formed from the 
best local players available and don't rely on a big budget to stock a team 
with OOA players. We beat some higher ranked teams this year, lost to 
others, and took a small step forward at the World Tournament. I think that 
makes us a young, inexperienced team rather than deserving of beer-bracket 
status, but thanks for the bulletin board material.



Just remember though, this is a big tournament and beer bracket teams 
(apparently 30 of us) are what help the tournament be so big and grand. I 
will concede that many people love watching the big 10 and some want to see 
only these teams, hell...I stayed around to watch them; but others do come 
to watch their teams play. These players and their fans buy beer, 
concessions, and souvenirs etc. that financially make the tournament what 
it is. Without all of them we could have this thing done in a weekend 
without much fan fare or interest and the winner could take home a nice crest.

eScribe.com Server Report

    * 9/9/05
    * eScribe suffered a massive power supply failure. I've tried two new 
power supplies both of which turned out to not be powerful enough and am 
buying the biggest, most powerful power supply today to install on the main 
server. If that doesn't work, I will consider buying a new server. I am the 
last surviving volunteer on the eScribe server project and I myself rely on 
it to archive my own mailing lists. I think I can promise that eScribe will 
be back online, at least the archives at first. No data was lost or 
destroyed. I need some time since I have to do this after work hours, but I 
am working on it. Thanks for the notes of support. I will try to put 
updates here regularly.
    * Another problem is the eScribe BB server. This server went down 
shortly before the main server (main server holds the archives, BB server 
holds the bulletin boards). This went offline a day or so before the main 
server. No, I do not suspect foul play at all. These are just very old 
computers that are dying. All data is safe. I will explore this server 
repair after the archives are back online.
    * More as it happens.

I am sad to give you the news that an icon of Softball NZ, umpire 
Eric Lye passed away in his sleep just before midnight last night from cancer.

A funeral service to celebrate Eric's life will be held at 11 a.m. 
this Thursday, 29 September at:
Gillions Funeral Services,
Hillside Rd.
Dunedin

The service will be followed by a private cremation, and then there 
will be a brunch and get together at the Southern Rugby Club rooms, 
to remember and talk (and hopefully laugh) about the many experiences 
that we have shared with Eric over the many years that he has been 
around the softball diamonds.

Hi Al,

   I want to add a few things to the mix:


   In reading the ISC's stance and a few other posts on the new prawn 
rule the sole purpose of it is to level the playing field because the 
top teams are ruing the game due to the money they spend on there 
respective teams and this forces teams to quit.  There may be some 
truth to this but the main reason teams are dropping is there simply 
isn't enough players and the cost of travel.  This year we just made 
40 teams in Wisconsin (centrally located)...what are the chances of 
getting 40 next year in Waterloo?  Are some of the ICS II teams going 
to fill in?  I live in an area that has a tremendous supply of 
players but they all play at the C level.  Do you think any of them 
would like to play at the Worlds?  I would imagine every one of them 
would....then tell them that it will require them to miss 20-30 days 
of work and fly around 50,000 miles for the season.  Not everyone can 
make that commitment so they are stuck playing locally.  My point 
being travel costs play a huge role in teams dropping along with the 
lack of places to play.  I don't know of anything that can help this 
but getting more areas involved in the open fastpitch,  but then it 
all falls back on players especially pitching.  Has anyone cared to 
look into the future of USA softball?  Canada reloads it pitching the 
States retire theirs.  Yes we still have pitching but we don't have 
the numbers to support many top teams.

      Does everyone think that spreading out the talent will bring 
more teams in?  I agree with Ken that we will never know unless it is 
tried but lets come up with a plan that will do it.  I find it hard 
to believe that anyone actually spent time looking into 
this.  Anything based on the selection of all world teams makes 
absolutely no sense.  First of all it is hardly subjective I have 
seen guys make it with 3 hits...I have seen guys not make it that had 
more hits than the tourney's leading hitter had at bats.  You are 
going to base a persons career and his choices on where he can play 
based on 4 games in August?  Does anyone see this as absolutely 
ridiculous?    What about ranking players in different 
pools?  A,B,C,D and allowing only so many per pool to be on 
teams?  The pools need to be based on a players season not 4 
games.  Maybe this can be looked into.

   Players committe.. this is the most laughable.  I think the idea 
is they are acting in the best interest of the players.  We need some 
criteria in selecting this group.  First all you should be a player 
and participate at the world tourney.  Former players and coaches or 
ISC members need not apply.  Every ISC world team needs a player rep 
in charge of communitcating so when game altering rules are being 
brought in everyone has at least had a chance to add input.  Have 
rosters submitted  with emails and select one player to be in charge 
of information.  There would be no excuses as to why anyone was not 
informed.  It should be set up as a players union that works hand in 
hand with the ISC to try and keep this game going.  We all need to be 
on the same page.  This would also eliminate what some people 
consider "whining" from popular players.....it is every players right 
to question rules and regs as it relates to the game.  Do you 
honestly think that players should just go along with every change 
that is proposed?  We as players also have to face the fact that the 
days of double elimination are gone.  It does take a lot of money to 
do what the ISC does and if that means 40 teams staying for at least 
4 or 5 days to be successful then we need to accept it and play 
within the set up.  The Super pool is another change that is not 
popular among the players but if it does bring more fans to the games 
to see the match ups than regular pool play does it is hard to argue 
that it doesnt work from that standpoint.  I would like to see how 
the pool game attendence matches up with Eau Claire in 2001 versus 
this year and also see next year in Waterloo how it matches up 
attendence wise versus 2002.  Is it a result of the super pool match 
ups or because Waterloo and Eau Claire are hot beds for fastpitch 
fans? We should reserve judgement either way on this until the 
numbers prove conclusive one way or the other.  If in fact the Super 
pools bring more fans to the yard nothing we can do but accept it as 
a positive for the game and play on.

   Roger May has said it correctly and what I truly think is killing 
the game....we are running out of players.. I wish I had the answer 
for that then none of this would ever be needed.  Pat Graham brought 
up many valid points in his article why this needs to be seriously 
looked at and revised or eliminated.   John Mikan, I find your 
comments insulting. You should apoligize to anyone that has ever 
played the great game of fastpitch because they love it.  Yes, there 
may be a few that try and chase a dollar or tooney but to say 
everyone that plays on a top level team does it for the money is 
asanine.  You are not very well informed.  Start your own team you 
say?  I guess I could but I can't afford to get guys to the tourneys 
all over N. American.  I could start a C team here.  Let me 
think....I could stay with my current team and travel to places like 
Moncton,Orillia, Eau Claire and face guys like Cox,Martin,Mata and Z 
or drive up to Bakersfield with my new C team and face the KHT 
Pumpers.  Good for the pocketbook you say?  I miss approxiamately 
25-30 days of work because of my travel schedule, it cost me money to 
play.  I am not whining either I choose to do this.  I do it because 
I love to play and I love the guys I play with.  Why shouldn't I or 
any other player be allowed to pick the team they want to play for?

In summary:  If the majority of the players think that by spreading 
out the talent and breaking up certain teams is the way to keep this 
game alive then lets all get together and make it work...lets leave 
the prawn for what it truly is a very tasty crustacean.

all comments are welcome

Wild Weekend for Gee Gees
It was an up and down weekend for the Garnett and Grey in Jordan on 
the weekend for the Brock Tournament. The team played well in 
extending its streak to 7-0 and a lead in the Eastern Division. 
However, the good news was dampered in the first game when Gee Gee 
pitcher Lindsey Hutton suffered a break in her foot. It happened in 
the second inning of the first game as she drove in Heather Huggins 
with an RBI triple to open the scoring for the Gee Gees. As she slid 
into third base ahead of the tag she twisted her foot the wrong way 
causing it to snap. The Gee Gees are blessed with an in house medical 
staff with Jen Leppard in her third year of Medicine and Nicky Dunlop 
with a Masters in Human Kinetics. The team was very grateful to 
MacMaster University for offering their physical therapists and to 
Keith Hibbett, Allisons dad for driving Lindsey to the hospital. 
Lindsey had pitched a full game of shutout softball the week before 
against Guelph and started the game strong against Brock before her 
injury. However, the team is lucky to have a strong pitching staff 
and Jillian Taylor picked up where her teammate left off with a very 
strong outing allowing two runs on 4 hits. The offense started strong 
against Brock as well with Lindsey McLaughlin and Heather Huggins 
leading the charge. Lindsey was 2-3 with two doubles and a pair of 
RBI's while Heather Huggins turned in her best offensive performance 
of the year with a single, a double and one run scored. Shannon 
Lundrigan drove in a run in the first inning to cap the Gee Gee 
scoring. A 5-2 win against a strong Brock team was the final.

On the second half of a double header while most of the athletes and 
coaches minds still with Lindsey at the hospital the team took out 
their frustrations on another strong MacMaster team. The ground rules 
of the diamonds in Jordan left most of the team confused, several of 
the teams hitters seemed to be knocking the ball off the tree in 
Center Field, or the Fieldhouse in Right. Lynn Kearns took the ball 
for the Gee Gees and walked the first batter but settled down 
immediately. The leadoff batter scored for the Mauraders but that 
would be all the Gee Gee defense would allow. The defense and 
pitching was sparkling all weekend allowing only 3 runs in 3 games. 
Lynn pitched 5 strong innings for the team before conceding to Ashley 
Sands for the final 3 outs. The offense stayed strong and seemed to 
get stronger as the weekend went on. The theme of the weekend for the 
offense was execution and precision as the team improved their short 
game as well as situational hitting. Danna Masters was back to her 
old tricks at the top of the order with 2 singles and two runs 
scored. Sarah Thompson contributed with another pair of singles and 
runs. Jen Leppard and Lindsey McLaughlin were red hot all weekend 
causing headaches for opposing pitchers and catchers. Heather Huggins 
stayed hot with a double and a single. Erin Durant contributed with a 
pair of bunt singles. The team ran to an 8-1 win in a game that 
lasted only 6 innings.

The team woke up to dark clouds and rain on Sunday morning that 
forced the cancellation of the teams first game against cross town 
rival Carleton. The two Capital City teams will make it up either 
during the week or add it to the final league weekend in Ottawa. That 
left the team with only one game on Sunday before the long drive 
home. The team would like to thank the hosts, Brock as well as the 
entire Grounds Crew for all of their hard work on Sunday to make the 
diamonds playable. The offense peaked on Sunday with everyone 
contributing behind a gem from Ashley Sands. She allowed no runs on 3 
hits and was backed by very solid defense. Jillian Taylor set the 
tone for the game in the first inning with a leadoff single and a 
stolen base before a Jen Leppard double scored her. Jen stayed in 
high gear going 4-4 with a pair of doubles and a pair of singles to 
go along with 2 RBI's. Sam Pantlone also had a good day with a key 
sacrifice bunt to set up the teams first run and a pair of doubles at 
the top of the order. Nicky Dunlop had a great day with a ripped 
single through the inflield and a two run double in the 6th. Allion 
Hibbett drove in a pair of runs with a single in front of her 
hometown crowd. The team had its best offensive performance of the 
year as they raced to an 9-0 victory in 6 innings.

The team heads to Byron Optimist Park in London next week to take on 
the West Division as well as Queens and Carleton.  As always fan 
support is much appreciated.  See you in Byron.

LORDS FASTBALL WINS ANNUAL CAN-AM CLASSIC INVITATIONAL



Oshawa ? Hot off the huge 9 inning victory on 
Friday night to keep their 46 game conference 
winning streak alive, the Lords women's fastball 
team carried the success over into the weekend.

The ladies played host to and dominated the 
annual Can-Am Classic @ Durham Field on 
campus.  The annual invitational featured the 
Durham Lords, Mercyhurst Saints (North East, 
Pa.), Mohawk Mountaineers (Hamilton) and Seneca Sting (North York).

The Lords offence, defence and pitching proved to 
be too much on this weekend, as Durham went 
undefeated in the round robin play and ended up 
defeating the Mercyhurst Saints in the 
Championship, for the second time in the tournament.

To sum up the weekend; the Lords scored 36 runs 
while only allowing 4, the Lords third-year 
shortstop, Kristy Kelly was named Tournament Top 
Hitter going 8-12 (.667 Avg.), Durham's freshmen, 
Nicole Seguin, was named Top Pitcher going 2-0 in 
13 innings of work, allowing only 3 runs and 
striking out 6. While the Tournament MVP, was 
Durham's first-year outfielder Kathy Glen.

----------
Hi Al,
I was reading Todd Budke's and Roger May's posts on the PRAWN rule 
and must say that they are right when they say that fastpitch is 
running out of players.

I don't think that big money teams are causing this. My personal 
opinion is that fastpitch is "fighting" against other sports like 
baseball, american football and basketball that are getting the 
attention from young kids. They can play these sports in high school 
because those sports are in most of high school sports programs and 
if they are good enough there's a good chance that those boys will 
get scholarships or even go pro and make a living one way or the other.

We turn on the TV and can see basketball, american football and 
baseball. We watch ESPN or FOX Sports and find out about amazing 
contracts that players sign almost everyday in any of these 3 sports.

We can read in almost every newspaper around the world and there's a 
good chance that either one of those 3 sports will have an article on it.
If we say that fastpitch is going downhill and blame the big money 
teams for this, we are looking on a small part of big picture.
Thanks,

Roberto Bahler

New blood in Black Sox training squad
Thursday September 29th

There are four new faces in the 2005 spring 
training squad named by New Zealand Community 
Trust Black Sox coach Eddie Kohlhase today.

Along with four new caps there is also one player 
returning to the Black Sox selection frame. New 
to the squad are Wellington players Todd Grego 
and Corey Matakatea and youngsters Bernard 
Hale  and Vaero Hagai who will be making the step 
up from the Junior Black Sox squad. Another 
member of the Junior Black Sox side joining the 
squad is infielder David Butler.

Kohlhase describes both Hagai and Hale as great 
young talents and both have been included in the 
squad to introduce them to the set up within the Black Sox.

?Vaero is only 17-years-old and we want to get 
him into the environment and give him some one on 
one training with defensive coach Jimmy Wana 
while also getting him alongside veteran pitcher 
Marty Grant. Bernard has been around for a while 
now and in the outfield we are looking for guys 
who can hit well and have speed to play good 
defence and Bernard fits that,? said Kohlhase.

Also new to the squad are Todd Grego who has had 
previous international experience with Australia 
and Wellington utility player Corey Matakatea.

?Todd is an outstanding talent. When we first saw 
him he was being scouted by major league baseball 
clubs. He is an outstanding hitter and a player 
whom we want to have a closer look at.

?Corey has been included on the back of an 
outstanding domestic season for Porirua, he 
played consistently well all year and is a very good player,? said Kohlhase.

Returning to the team after a nine year absence 
is former baseballer Travis Wilson who last 
played for the Black Sox in 1996 when the team 
claimed gold at the world championships. 
Following that tournament Wilson took up a 
professional baseball contract with the Atlanta 
Braves. He returned to New Zealand last season to 
play softball and strong performances have seen 
him win his way back into the Black Sox selection frame.

?Travis is a seasoned professional and he has 
been involved in professional sport for nearly a 
decade. We will be keen to utilise all his 
experience and knowledge, Travis is keen to be 
involved in softball again and being part of the 
Black Sox is something he would dearly love to 
contribute to again,? said Kohlhase.

The squad will assemble for a training camp at 
the Trentham Army base from October 13th ? 16th 
with all the players fitness levels expected to 
be given a tough work out. Kohlhase says the four 
day camp is an opportunity to establish the 
foundations for the 2005/06 international season

?There will be a strong element of physical 
activity involved and the guys will be tested and 
benchmarked against each other and our own Black Sox standards.?

NZCT BLACK SOX TRAINING SQUAD:

Pitchers: Marty Grant (Nelson), Thomas Cameron 
(Auckland), Tane Richardson (Hutt Valley), Vaero 
Hagai (Wellington), Jarrad Martin (Wellington).

Catchers: Patrick Shannon (Auckland), Lyndon

We have heard from a number of players, fans, sponsors, etc.  I have
started this petition to see where exactly everyone stands.  Is it just
the few who have spoken that have a dislike for the rule or is there
more.  Lets try to get a proper feel as to where the public stands.  If
you could post this link on your site, it would be greatly appreciated.


http://www.petitiononline.com/Prawn06/petition.html


This petition is not a plea for status quo but to recognize that change
is required and necessary but to agree that PRAWN is not the answer that
the ISC is looking for.

Thanks

Alvinston ON.


ALVINSTON PUSHES SEMI-FINAL SERIES TO GAME #5

Last evening, the Alvinston Indians travelled to Glencoe for game #4 of the
series, where they hoped to push the semi-final series to the brink. AFter
Glencoe threatened in the bottom of the second, leaving two runners on base,
Marc Greenwood got the first hit for the Indians in the top of the third
inning, when he singled to lead off the inning. Glencoe recorded the next
two outs, before Mike Black singled, followed by an RBI single by Joe Triest
scoring the first run. Scott Smith then came to the plate, and hit a deep
RBI triple scoring two runs. With a 3-0 lead for the Indians, Glencoe
fought back with one run of their own in the bottom of the third inning.
Brett Neal tripled, and scored on an RBI single by Ron Pakitka. Glencoe
threatened to score in the 4th, 6th and 7th innings, but Alvinston pitchers
Greg Moore, and Norm Logan were able to strand runners and preserve the
victory. Final score was Alvinston 3, Glencoe 1. Alvinston CF Marc
Greenwood robbed the Astros of a sure home run, when he ran into the fence
to catch the ball as it was heading over. A beautiful catch, that not only
saved a run for the Indians, but lifted fans out of their seats in awe!
Greg Moore toed the rubber for the Indians, and kept the Glencoe hitters
off-balance as he earned the victory. A gutsy performance in his first
playoff game, as he pitched 3 1/3 innings, before being relieved by Norm
Logan who pitched an inning and 2/3. Moore came back into the game and
recorded the final six outs for the Indians. Moore allowed five hits in 5
1/3 innings, and 1 earned run, while striking out four to earn the victory.
Shawn Winship took the loss for Glencoe, allowing five hits, while striking
out 8. Ron Pazitka, and Tim Stover had two hits a piece for Glencoe. Game
five is tonight in Alvinston beginning at 8:00pm, in what should be an
exciting final game to a great semi-final series in St. Thomas and District
Fastball League Playoff action.

Jim Cowdrey To Help Gee Gees
The team is thrilled to add yet another one of Canada's top softball 
athletes to the list of people helping this year. Jim Cowdrey has 
agreed to assist the team with its athlete development towards its 
goals for 2005. Jim also assisted Gee Gee head coach Gil Read with 
Team Ontario that won the Gold Medal at the Canada Summer Games. Jim 
is one of the best pitchers ever to play for Canada. He joined the 
national team in 1980 as a 17 year old and was with the team when 
they won Gold Medals at the Pan American games in 1983 and 1995, 
Silver Medals in 1980 and 1984 at the International Softball 
Federation Championships (ISF), and a Bronze Medal in 1998 at the 
ISF's in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
Jim pitched in the longest game in Canadian Championship history, 
throwing all 24 innings for the Ottawa Turpins. He pitched 49 perfect 
games and 133 no-hitters at the World Class level. The team is 
thrilled to have this level of talent helping. Jim will be the Gee 
Gees Pitching Coach and Head Scout this season. The team would like 
to extend a big thank you to Jim for all of his assistance and 
support this season.

Al,
So you don't hear it from anybody else and you don't read about it in 
Tidbits, the 2 time ISC World Champion Broken Bow Spirit will discontinue 
operations.

On behalf of "Doc" Simmons and Myself, I'd like to take this opportunity to 
thank all the fans that supported us through our very successful 2003 and 
2004 campaign. I hope we were able to provide a small amount of 
entertainment while we visited the fine softball communities of North America.

  Just a brief overview of Doc's recent Broken Bow teams;
    * Since 1999, Broken Bow played in the Finals of the ISC tournament, 
six consecutive years.
    * 45-8 since 1999 in ISC World tournament play.
    * 35-4 since the inception of round robin format.
    * 3 ISC World Championships in the last 5 years.

  Thanks to all the fine players, past and present, that made these 
accomplishments a reality (you should be proud) and made all the trips a 
pleasure. We enjoyed it!

Doc has decided to join Phil Rogers, and his Patsy's fastball club of New 
York. I will take my laptop and palm pilot and provide support for Phil and 
Doc.

See you at the park!!

Subject: PRAWN: A Modest Proposal - Bill Simmons
Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2005 12:52:27 -0400



After having to endure the recent polemics of the proposed PRAWN rule, and 
now with Pat Graham attempting to bring power to the people via petition, I 
can no longer remain reticent.  I am appalled at the near-sightedness of 
ISC commissioners and fellow ISC players like Todd Martin in their attempts 
to advance, strengthen and promote the great game of fastball.  Roger May 
cites the games decline in the American's inability to brood talent; some 
other guy wants the tenth PRAWN to be worth two million dollars.  I was 
recently told by Kitchener management that as the sixth PRAWN I'm worth a 
pine tar rag or one used K-Master.  I could choose.  Unfortunately, you ISC 
people have left it up to me to save the game.  This is my modest proposal:

1.  Dancing girls.  Too much emphasis has been placed on out of area 
players, big-money teams, and player development.  None of these 
investments will create fan base and revenue.  However, if we have dancing 
girls in tight satin outfits shouting hackneyed rhymes and shaking pom poms 
to bad rap music then we can get fastball fans tripping through the 
turnstiles.  I also propose that after each inning played, we send a woman 
scantily clad in a push-up bra and g-string walking around with a sign with 
the inning number on it.  Perhaps more conservative commissioners might be 
concerned with feminist backlash.  Some might suggest that dancing girls 
have nothing to do with the game.  I say who cares!

2.  Commercials.  We have Jeremy Spears's media expertise at our disposal.
Let's make a commercial that makes our game appealing, dramatic and 
athletic.  We could use players like Todd Schultz, Korrey Gareau and Rob 
Gray - ball players that look like ball players - to promote the 
handsomeness of our antiquated game.  If we are willing to invest some 
twoonies and loonies, we could actually pay strong, athletic looking models 
wearing skin-tight Underarmour to pose as ISC players.  The public doesn't 
want to see fat guys hitting bombs or ugly midgets that smell like cooked 
cabbage running out of the box trying to dribble it past the pitcher.  They 
want biceps and six packs.  And forget these Legends of the ISC write-ups 
which attempt to sell integrity, longevity, and sportsmanship.  These 
values are lost on the new generation.  They want smut.  I think we have 
the wherewithal to give it to them.

3.  A calendar.  Instead of circulating the annual book of stats which only 
Todd Martin peruses to memorize his own stats, the ISC could generate 
capital by publishing a calendar of nude ball players.  Imagine:  Kris 
Kiefel with nothing but his chops;  Dean Holein with nothing but his badge; 
Rino D'Ambrosia with nothing but his gerry-curls; Dale Levy with nothing 
but that stupid tattoo of a gun on his right arm; Rob O'Brien with nothing 
but his Oakleys (it might be the only time we don't see him jumping all 
over the rubber).  If the firemen can do it, we can do it.

4.  A mike.  Like in the NFL, we should mike-up some of our feature 
players.  Imagine hearing exactly what Todd Martin says to umpires instead 
of a muffled version from the bleachers.  What does Chris Shewfelt have to 
say to the three-legged hamster in Paul Koert's head to get the wheel 
moving again?  What are the Newfies really saying?  Or maybe fans would 
like to hear how Jody Eidt inexorably makes his teammates feel like a 
beaten dog.

5.  Internet.  We have Al Doran reporting games, rumours, and issues on a 
perpetual basis.  The only problem is that only fastball players, fans and 
administration are getting these emails.  We need to change our site to 
"alsXXXfastball" or "XXXiscfastpitch" so that millions of perverted 
Americans and Canadians fall unsuspectingly into our websites.  Is Als 
Fastball the only non-XXX site in your Favorites?

6.  Controversy.  Every professional sport has some fashion of controversy 
that gets them on ESPN and TSN every night.  Bad publicity paradoxically 
benefits any sport.  The NFL has T.O. doing sit-ups on his driveway;  Major 
League Baseball has Raphy Palmeiro doing steroids and Viagara (that can't 
healthy); the NHL has Todd Bertuzzi breaking necks.  We have one beer-tent 
brawl in Monkton and we think were going to go mainstream?  Look at soccer.
It's the most boring sport in the world, but the most 
popular.  Why?  Riots.  Violence.  And Spice Girl wives.  What I'm 
suggesting here is maybe we could strengthen the game by shooting some umpires.

I think as a collective body we need to improve our dilapidated game with a 
vision that includes the decadence of our society.  There isn't a good soul 
out there that can tell me that my suggestions won't improve the the future 
of our game.  Are we going to continue to devote our time to petitions and 
Martin mud-slinging or are we going to start some dance auditions?


For the future of fastball,

biLL siMMons

Kitchener, ON

So the Kitchener Fastball League season is once again finished and the 
Phoenix Outlaws have once again been crowned the league champions.

The first round of the playoffs saw Phoenix take on the team that always 
seem to have their number in the regular season, the Cambridge Reds. But 
Phoenix stepped up and took out the Reds 2 straight.
The Breslau Majors, one of the great surprises in the KFL this year as they 
stepped up from being the B Side winners last years to finishing 2nd in the 
regular season, saw first round action against the Breslau Juniors. The 
Juniors were coming off a good year with appearances at the provincial and 
the nationals but could not continue their luck against the Majors, who won 
the series 2-0.
The third place Classics faced the 6th place Merchants in a series that saw 
the Classics come out on top 2-0.
The most evenly-matched series of the first round was between the #4 Smoke 
and the #5 Thunder as both teams had the same point total in the regular 
season and split the season series 1-1. Smoke finished 4th due to run 
differential in those 2 games. But the Thunder, with a number of players 
coming off a World Championship at the ISC II's, beat the Smoke 2 games to 0.

The 2nd round had Phoenix face the Thunder. Even with Thunder being the 
only seed to upset in the first round, Phoenix finished them 3-0 to advance 
to the finals.
The other semi had the Breslau Majors face the Classics in what could be 
called the Battle of the Ages. A young upstart Breslau team felt they had 
something to prove to the league but could not overcome the experience of 
the Classics, dropping the series 3-0.

This set up the finals. Phoenix, defending champs and regular season 
winners against the 3rd place Classics. Phoenix took the series 3-1 with 
the final game ending in controversial fashion as the Classics were looking 
to make in interesting in the bottom of the 7th.

The B Side this year included, the Men from the Glen, the Waterloo Midgets, 
the Breslau Midgets, the Selects and the Bulldogs. After a round robin 
series took place, the top two records were the Bulldogs and the Breslau 
Midgets who faced off in a best of 3 series. Breslau won the first one but 
the Bulldogs won the 2nd, making sure that the series went the distance. 
The Breslau Midgets took the final game in a back and forth contest that 
saw the lead change hands a number of times.

So congratulations to the Phoenix Outlaws and the Breslau Midgets for their 
great seasons and to the rest of the league for providing some interesting 
moments and some outstanding fastball.

And I would like to thank every member of the Executive, every ball player, 
coach, manager and fan that helped support another great season of KFL 
ball. Can't wait to see all of you next year.

You can relive the KFL season on our website where in the near future, 
there will be a few photos available of the finals.

PRAWN Regulation Amended by I.S.C. Executive Committee

The International Softball Congress has made a significant amendment in the 
recently enacted PRAWN regulation.

Larry Fisher, Chair of the ISC Executive Committee, has announced a recent 
approval by the committee of an amendment FOR THE 2006 SEASON ONLY.

This amendment will allow all teams for the 2006 season to have two PRAWN 
pitchers.  This amendment has no effect on the number of PRAWN players a 
team can have.  It only allows a team to carry two PRAWN pitchers instead 
of the original motion which restricted teams to one PRAWN pitcher.

The rationale for the amendment is to help "level the playing field" with 
those teams who are allowed to have two hurlers with PRAWN credentials 
because they pitched for the same team during the 2005 season.

The player rep committee and the ISC Executive Committee are still firmly 
behind the PRAWN regulation, according to Chairman Fisher, who points out 
that the amendment will only be in effect for the 2006 ISC playing season.

To: Al Doran <fastball at pmihrm.com>

Here are the season-ending Ontario ISC II Rankings. Congratulations to the 
Elmira Cubs, vaulting 8 spots to #1 in the rankings. The bracketed numbers 
refer to the last rankings which were released around July 31.

1 (9) Elmira Cubs - Won the biggest tournament of the year and will be in 
Kitchener to defend their title on home turf. The best may still be ahead 
for this team which is a great collection of young players combined with 
some veteran leadership.

2 (7) Port Elgin Blue Devils - Breezed through their league, but didn't 
play in the playoffs due to player shortage - looked very good in Chippewa 
Falls. Another team with a bright future if they can stay together.

3 (1) Niagara Snappers - Won a lot of tournaments, including the tough 
Snapper Shootout and Innerkip ISC II Qualifer. Should have most of their 
team back for next year.

4 (4) Ottawa Team Easton Thunder - Were two feet away from tying their 
semi-final game at the ToC in the botto m of the seventh. They've got the 
pitching, just need one more bat in the lineup.

5 (2) Tavistock Smully's Merchants - Another bridesmaid finish in the South 
Perth league tourney for Tavi. Will likely lose Fred Follings to 
Shakespeare next year for ISC II play and rumours are swirling about other 
players moving on, but that shouldn't take away from an exceptional season.

6 (8) Bridgeport Braves - Dropped a second round playoff game to Elmira at 
the ToC, but rebounded to win the South Perth league championship.

7 (-) Alvinston Indians - Were as good as anyone in the second half of the 
season, winning the Glencoe and Alvinston tourneys and finishing tied for 
third at the ToC.

8 (4) Palermo Athletics - Ran into the Eric Steinbeck buzzsaw in Chippewa 
Falls, but showed their capabilities in winning the Intermediate elims.

9 (6) Harriston Mercurys - Fell about two feet short in tying their quarter 
final game against Port Elgin. Will need to take the long way through 
qualifying to get to Kitchener.

10 (-) Toronto Champion Indians - Won the Ontario Challenge Cup and are in 
the finals of the Oshawa league.

Honourable mentions:
Orangeville Resolve Kings - opened a lot of eyes in finishing a strong 
second at the Ontario Challenge Cup.

Waterdown Hammer - finished second in the tough Elkland First Weekend 
Tournament and lost only once in the GHFL regular season.
Micksburg Twins - hard to go wrong with Cory Costello, who had a monster 
season and was named to the All-Tournament team at the ToC.
Kitchener Phoenix Outlaws - hit the ball a ton, lead by Tim Dubois. With 
the right pitching, could step up and make some noise in ISC II. Finished 
third at the Challenge Cup.

Highgate Rock - strong showing at the Intermediate elims in finishing 
second and are among the final four in the St. Thomas league.

Glencoe Astros - put up a good showing at the qualifier after losing early 
and are in the St. Thomas league finals.




Congratulations to all the tournament and league winners this year in what 
has been an outstanding summer for Ontario fastball.

On a personal note, I want to thank all the teams and players for their 
support of the ISC II program and for those who love the game and voice 
their opinions about how to make things better here on ghfl.ca.

There have been many highlights this year, but once again Ontario teams 
have shown their mettle by not only winning the ISC II championship for a 
fourth straight year, but all 10 teams made the playoffs and Ontario teams 
took 7 of the top 8 placings.

The four-team photo with Elmira, Port Elgin, Ottawa & Alvinston was a proud 
moment for Ontario fastball. Hopefully we'll see even better things in 
Kitchener.

Cheers,

Blair Setford
ISC II Commissioner

Millgrove, ON

The Niagara Snappers captured their 6th tournament title of the year by 
beating the Toronto Celtics in the finals at the Inaugural 20 team 
Millgrove Oktoberfest Klassic tournament.  The Snappers went 5-0 at the 
tournament to finish off their 2005 season with a 66-18 record and 9 
consecutive victories.

In game 1, the Snappers faced the Simcoe Moose of the Erie Fastball 
League.  The bats were on fire all night as the Snappers came away with a 
13-2 5 inning mercy.  Rob Fawcett picked up his first win of the tournament 
on the mound.  Trevor Falk went 3-3 with a home run and 4 RBI's to lead the 
Snappers at the plate.  Jarrod Burtt and Mike Bateman chipped in with 3 
RBI's apiece.

Game 2 saw the Snappers facing the host Millgrove Smoke.  In another 
offensive outburst, the Snappers came away with a 13-1 5 inning 
mercy.  Byron Demoe pitched 4 scoreless innings to get the win.  Rob 
Fawcett came in and allowed the lone run in the 5th before closing the 
door.  Trevor Falk had a home run and 3 RBI's for the Snappers and Alex 
Shotski hit a grand slam to seal the game early on.

Game 3  matched up the Snappers with the tough Kitchener Phoenix 
Outlaws.  The game looked like it would be a blow-out right off the bat as 
the Snappers lead 9-0 after the 2nd inning, but the Phoenix stormed back 
and made it interesting, but in the end the Snappers came out on top 
11-6.  Byron Demoe pitched a scoreless 4 innings to earn the win, Jim 
Wilson pitched the 5th inning allowing 5 runs, Rob Fawcett shut the door in 
the 6th allowing a single run before the game was called on a time 
limit.  Scott Young with 3 RBI's paced the Snapper attack, Mike Bateman, 
Kevin Newhouse, and Matt Bedrosian had 2 RBI's apiece.  Kevin Newhouse and 
Matt Bedrosian both homered as well.

In the Semi-finals, the Snappers were facing the Oshweken Redmen with Mike 
Joseph on the mound.  Joseph shut down the Snappers for 5 innings, striking 
out 10 batters along the way.  In the bottom on the 6th inning, Peter 
Dobbin, capping off a 3-3 day, doubled to start the inning, Jarrod Burtt 
knocked him in to tie the game.  Scott Young singled, and Mike Bateman came 
up and hit a 3 run home run to put the Snappers ahead 4-1.  Rob Fawcett 
pitched all 7 innings earning the win while striking out 7.  The win put 
the Snappers into the finals for a re-match with the Celtics whom the 
Snappers beat in the Niagara Falls Tournament at the beginning of August in 
the "A" finals.

The Snappers again got the offense started early by scoring 5 runs in the 
first 3 innings and then hung on for a 5-3 win.  Scott Young was named game 
MVP for his 4 RBI night which included a 3 run home run.  Rob Fawcett once 
again was solid on the mound going the distance while striking out 5 along 
the way to pick up his 3rd tournament victory.

A 2005 season in review will be compiled shortly and posted on the Snapper 
web site

Wyevale, ON



The Simcoe Rural Fastball League held their annual awards ceremony on 
Saturday aboard the Miss Midland on the high seas of Georgian Bay.  It was 
a perfect night for boat cruise, and the league capped off a successful 
season with an entertaining tour of the Midland/Penetang area.



Steve Courtemanche accepted the Play-Off Championship Trophy on behalf of 
the Minesing Monarchs.  The Monarchs downed the Wyevale Tribe in 6 games in 
the finals.



For the second straight year there were co-winners of the Playoff MVP 
award.  This year Jamie Grant, and Greg McLean shared the honor, as their 
contributions to the play-offs were recognized.



The regular season championship trophy went to the Wyevale Tribe, and Shane 
Bywater accepted on behalf of the Tribe.  The Tribe was 14-4 on the 
season.  They were closely followed by Vasey 13-4-1 and Minesing at 12-4-2.



The Rookie of Year Award went to the Tribe's Graham McNabb.  Graham had a 
wonderful rookie campaign that saw him bat .369 with 3 HR's, and 15 
RBI's.  Graham can now been seen centering the second line of the Brampton 
Battalion in the OHL.



The Most Sportsmanlike Award went to Vasey's Pete Robinson.  Pete was a 
past recipient of this award, and thanked him Mom and Dad and in an 
emotional acceptance speech.



The Most Valuable Pitcher Award went to Jason Giffen of the Wyevale 
Tribe.  This was Jason's 3rd consecutive and 5th in the last 7 years. Jason 
amassed 302 strikeouts (1.6 per inning) this year to go along with his 
miniscule 1.71 ERA.



The Most Valuable Player Award went the Tribe's Mike Kelly.



Overall the SRFL enjoyed a very good 2005 season.  The league would like to 
see 1 or 2 more teams join the 7 current teams.  Once a hotbed of fastball, 
the Georgian Bay area has seen a rapid decline in competitive fastball 
especially at the minor ball level.



This year the SRFL had 1 new entrant (Uhthoff Nationals) in 2005.  This was 
highlighted by fact that Mike Crawford toed the rubber on occasion for the 
Nationals.  It was a rocky first season for the Nationals but definitely 
something to build upon.



The Perkinsfield squad tried to follow up a stellar 2004 playoff run which 
saw them force the eventual champions from Vasey to a 5th and deciding 
game.  It was not to be as Perkinsfield failed to live up to the promise of 
the year before.



The Toanche Srs battled hard all year long, but slipped below the 500 mark 
this year.  A little help for Kevin Foster, who logged almost all of the 
innings is their off season, would go a long way.



The Toanche Jrs in just their 3rd season in the SRFL pulled their heads 
above the 500 level for the first time.  Simply an outstanding season for 
the Jrs which saw them finish 2nd at the OASA Jr "B", and the bulk of their 
players participated in the OASA Midget "C" which they won.  A very young 
team riddled with talent, and a definite asset to the SRFL.



Vasey, Minesing, and the Tribe continued their dominance of the 
league.  These 3 teams have been battling for league supremacy of the last 
few years, and no one team has been able to distance themselves from the 
others.



A good 2005, will hopefully lead into a great 2006 for the SRFL as we will 
try to build on the current momentum the league seems to have.

Periodically, the Oshawa City and District Fastball League presents a 
special award to recognize outstanding
contributions to softball in Oshawa.  The award was developed by Buddy Yahn 
and his father in honour of his
mother Iris Yahn.  The award is presented by a member of the Yahn family 
and this year the League  asked
Iris Yahn's daughter-in-law Mrs. Helen Yahn, to make the presentation.

This year's recipient started his softball career at Sunnyside Park in 
Oshawa where he soon developed into an
accomplished hitter and pitcher.  During his playing years he was on teams 
who won All-Ontario championships from
Minor to Intermediate "A" Men.  In the mid 70's he began his coaching 
career as a player/coach for Foley's Sr. B team.
In 1984, he moved to Casey's and the following year he joined the Oshawa 
Blues and took them into the Ontario
Fastball League, the first Fastpitch Travel League in the province.  For 9 
of the next 10 years he could be found
behind the bench of Oshawa Double B Sports Club Junior Men's teams.  He 
coached his Double B teams to an All-Ontario Championship; was runner up 
twice and he was also able to take his team to participate in the Canadian 
Junior Championships in Prince George B.C. in 1995.  During this time he 
passed on his passion for the game to several of his players. Many players 
influenced by this man have gone on to our Canadian and International 
Softball Congress Championship teams and remain involved in the sport at 
the highest level and in this league to this day."

The Oshawa City and District Fastball League was pleased to present the 
2005 Iris Yahn Memorial Award for
Outstanding Contribution to Softball to Mr. "Buddy" Yahn.  Congratulations 
Buddy!

Congratulations go out to all the OCDFL Award winners for 2005.

arrive a day early or leave a day later spending a night or two in Las 
Vegas. There are special group rates for 10 or more people. A few of the 
players significant others spent the entire time in Las Vegas and were 
joined by their men either before or after the tournament.

There is also a full facility resort located in Mesquite, Nevada just a 
short 25 - 30 minute drive to St. George. It has many inexpensive hotels 
and casinos. Some rooms in Mesquite last year were about $21.00

Getting to the Red Rock International Invitational:

St. George Airport: http://www.ci.st-george.ut.us/airport/

The St. George airport is located about 5 minutes the downtown area and 
about 10 minutes from the ball park.

Las Vegas: McCarran International Airport:
http://www.mccarran.com/airportguide.asp

The Las Vegas airport is about a 1? hour drive North up Interstate 15. As 
you approach the mountain pass approaching St. George, the view is 
absolutely incredible. Be sure to bring your camera.

Driving by car from the Salt Lake City area is about a 5 hour drive. 
Driving from Southern California can easily be calculated via Las Vegas.

Ken Hackmeister will once again serve as Tournament Director, Roy Stout 
will be the Umpire-in-Chief and Josh Olmstead of St George Leisure Services 
will be the Host Administrator of the tournament.

Umpires are from various locations around the USA as well as Canada. Many 
have ISF International and/or ISC World Tournament experience. All of the 
games have three umpires on every game.

It is expected teams will be from USA, Canada and  Mexico.

Games will conclude on Sunday early enough for teams to make flights from 
Las Vegas.

Sports: Playing into October: The Gee-Gees fastpitch team hopes to bring in

Playing into October
The Gee-Gees fastpitch team hopes to bring in another league champions

ONE OF THE University of Ottawa's most successful sports teams, the 
Gee-Gees fastpitch team is off to another strong season. The team looks to 
be in good shape to win their second championship in four years. Just two 
tournaments into their season, the girls have proven they can compete with 
the best in Ontario. According to head coach Gil Read, the team came 
together even before its first game action.

"You have to go back to the tryout," Read explains. "It was a gruelling 
weekend for the players."

In planning the tryout, the coach-ing staff put together a 
physically-demanding schedule. During the mornings and afternoons, 
attendees worked on skills and fundamentals, and afterwards played a 
ten-inning game. After three days, it became clear which players belonged 
on the team.

"The competition was tough, but we had to bring the team down to a 
manageable size. For example, there were five worthy pitchers at the 
tryout, but we could only take four," Read said.

But along with the many new players comes a new coaching staff. Read has 
stepped into the role of head coach. Recently, Read played the same role 
for the Ontario men's fastpitch team at the Canada Games, and was team 
leader for the women's fastpitch team at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.

Scott Searle, a member of the coaching staff since the team's inception, 
remains an assistant coach. Donna Price, a well-known coach in the Ottawa 
area, has also joined the team. Dave Tubman, who has played on the national 
level and has coached at the international level, rounds out the 
competitive sport club's staff.

The staff chose 15 players to represent the Gee-Gees in tournaments around 
the province. The large roster is due to the fact that players' schedules 
often conflict with tournaments.

"Every athlete at the university is also a student, and academics always 
come first," Read mentioned. For Read, no student-athlete should ever be 
forced to compromise their academic standing. With two practices a week and 
a hectic fall schedule, players are challenged to excel both on and off the 
field.

The players are having very little trouble adjusting to a new season.

Among the assortment of returning players are pitchers Lindsey Hutton and 
Ashley Sands, who were successful last year in helping the team win their 
division. Their main goal was defending their 2003 provincial title. In the 
end, they fell just short in the final tournament they hosted at the RA 
Centre, near Billings Bridge Mall.

At the first weekend of competit-ion, the Gee-Gees travelled to Napanee for 
their first Ontario Intercollegiate Women's Fastpitch Association (OIWFA) 
tournament. The team played against its counterparts from Queen's 
University, York University, the University of Guelph, and the University 
of Toronto.

The only real test came from the University of Toronto, as the Gees blew 
away the Golden Gaels, Lions, and Gryphons in order. All pitchers were 
utilized, including newcomers Lynn Kearns and Jill Taylor. Sands faced a 
stoic Toronto team who seemed determined to claim early bragging rights.

But the game was tied after the full seven innings, leading to extra 
innings and a tiebreak. In a tiebreak, each bats with a runner placed at 
second base to start the inning. In the end, the Gee-Gees came out on top.

"We were able to advance our runner, they were not," Read described simply.

The solid start comes as no surprise, as many of the players are returning 
from last year, looking for revenge against the reigning champions from 
Guelph. Over the next few weeks, the Gee-gees will travel to St. Catharines 
and London before returning to Ottawa for a tournament on Oct. 15 and 16.

The following week they will travel to Guelph for the season-ending 
championship. It is there that they hope to reclaim the title of provincial 
champion that belonged to this school in the fall of 2003.

Kitchener, On

The selection committee that was assembled to choose a host team for the 
ISC II T of C next year in Kitchener, has made their recommendation to the 
Host Committee, which last night was approved unanimously.

I am pleased to announce and congratulate the Bridgeport Proforma Braves 
for their selection.

Bridgeport is a veteran Club, that plays in the South Perth Men's Fastball 
League and were crowned Champions of the league a few weeks back in 
Mitchell On.

Some of their most recent accomplishments have been placing 11th in the 
2005 T of C in Chippewa Falls Wisconsin, 2nd in the Innerkip Tournament, 
3rd in the Innerkip ISC II qualifier tournament and 2nd in the K-W Pride 
Tournament in St. Clements On.
They have also finished 2nd or 3rd the last two years in the South Perth 
Playoff Tournament.

The Braves history goes back to the early 1940's when they were originally 
known as the Bridgeport Vets, of which the grandfather of the current 
Schnarr Brothers was the original Coach. Bridgeport has  continued on with 
the family atmosphere on the team, lead by the 3 Schnarr Brothers, (Jim, 
Jodie and Jay) and 2 Dickson Brothers, (Andy and Jodie) all hailing from 
the Bridgeport area of Kitchener.

The current team boasts 11 players from the City of Kitchener, 1 from 
Woodstock and 2 from Guelph, which makes them a very local Host Team for 
next years T of C.

Along with the Braves as the host team, we also have the Elmira Cubs who 
play right outside the city limits of Kitchener-Waterloo as the Defending 
Champions of the ISC II 2005 T of C. So this should boad well, for the 
local community fan and supporter base.

The Host Committee is already working hard in getting things organized for 
2006, and we look forward to being your host next August.

Experience a feature of White Sox training squad
Wednesday October 5th 2005

Twelve months out from the women's World Softball Championships, New 
Zealand Community Trust White Sox coach Mike Walsh has named an experienced 
training squad to prepare for the event to be staged in Beijing, China.

Walsh says now is not the time for experimenting and the key focus for the 
coming season will be to build the foundations for a successful assault on 
the world championships and secure a finish amongst the medals and 
automatic qualification for the 2008 Olympics.

With the world champs in mind Walsh says experience is going to be a key 
feature. In recent years the White Sox have had a busy international 
programme giving the players all important game time against some of the 
best players in the world.

Walsh says the team didn't achieve everything they set out to do last 
season with some results disappointing but he believes in the squad he has 
named and their ability to achieve success on the international stage.

"The crucial element now is to provide the players with the environment to 
build a greater belief in their own ability, and being able to use that at 
game time," said Walsh.

While there is an experienced feel to the squad named by Walsh there are a 
couple of newcomers to international softball. Auckland catcher Tania Misa 
has received her first White Sox call up as has Canterbury catcher Te 
Awhina Hewer. Also joining the squad is Auckland infielder Casey Roper, who 
is returning to the team having last played for the White Sox in 2001.

On the selection of Misa and Hewer, Walsh says both players have been in 
the long term thinking of the selectors for a number of seasons and this is 
their chance to force their way into the team and put pressure on the 
established players.

The squad of 24 will assemble in Wellington in November for the three day 
camp and Walsh says the focus of the weekend will be informing the athletes 
of what is ahead of them as preparations intensify ahead of the world champs.

"There is a lot of detail we want to go over about what the management team 
are planning and we also want to confirm the team objectives. Another key 
will be determining what is required from every member of the squad from 
athletes to management to achieve what we want to achieve," said Walsh.

Details of the playing programme for the White Sox in the 2005/06 season 
are still to be confirmed with options being considered including a South 
Pacific Series and tour of Australia.

Game 1 - Micksburg 4 Team Easton 0

Micksburg....1.0.0.1.0.0.2...4 runs, 5 hits, 1 error
Team Easton..0.0.0.0.0.0.0...0 runs, 0 hits, 1 error

WP: Corey Costello - 7IP - 0R - 0H - 14K - 0BB
(Faced 22 batters. No hitter - one baserunner reached on an error.)

LP: Dan Konkle - 7IP - 4R - 5H - 14K - 1BB - 1HBP

On a night that weather-wise seemed more like August than October, the 
Micksburg Twins defeated Team Easton by a score of 4-0 in Stittsville on 
Tuesday Oct 4.

The Twins got on the scoreboard in the top of the first. Lead off hitter 
Barry McIntyre was hit by a pitch. Jerry McIntyre sacrificed his brother to 
third and Corey Costello hit an RBI single to get the Twins up 1-0.

In the bottom of the first, with two out, Easton catcher Todd Fraser hit a 
long off hand fly ball to right field that looked like it had potential for 
a home run. However, it only reached the warning track, and the Twins still 
led 1-0.

In the fourth, Corey Costello led off the inning by hitting a long solo 
homerun deep to left-centre. Jamey Mick then got on base with a walk, but 
was stranded there. Micksburg led 2-0 after three and a half innings.

In the bottom of the fourth, Team Easton got their first (and it would turn 
out to be only) base runner of the game. Kevin Chevrier reached on an error 
when first base was left uncovered in a comeback dribbler to the pitcher. 
Chevrier got to second on a ground out, then stole third, but was stranded 
there as Randy Peck grounded to first to end the inning.

In the top of the seventh, Micksburg scored two insurance runs. Brad Steege 
led off with a single, was sacrificed to second by Kerr Childerhose, and 
was brought in on a Joran Graham single. With two out, Wayne Ready hit 
another single to score Graham to push the Twins lead to 4-0.

Corey Costello threw a no-hitter, facing only 22 batters and struck out 14. 
Dan Konkle only gave up five hits, and also struck out 14, including 
striking out the side in the second and sixth innings.

The next game will be up in Micksburg on Friday October 7, at 8PM, and if 
the weather cooperates, a large crowd is expected.

Hollywood, MN

27 participants showed up Saturday at the Hollywood Sports Complex west of 
Minneapolis.  The clinic was
a first for this area and for some participants it made a lasting 
impression.  H&S Fastpitch recruited
Michael White from Eugene, OR to lead the participants through a gauntlet 
of strategy, training and mechanics.
A powerpoint presentation utilizing software video and photos were from 
World Championship competitions down
to backyard practice session.  Anyone could relate to the 
instruction.  After a lunch break the group went out to
the diamond for demonstration and one on one instruction.  Mike's 
demonstration of hitting spots and then building
strength by practicing "long toss" will not be forgotten soon as he pitched 
to home from centerfield.  Though not a difficult
feat for many world class pitchers it was the accuracy at which he 
commanded and how comfortable he looked doing it.

As the end of clinic neared many of the participants and additional local 
players broke into two teams.  Players
from the IS Knights, PBI, Custom Rock, ABS Villard, Vannelli's and H&S 
Fastpitch played two 5 inning games.  No score
was kept and there was no shortage of pitchers...  A very big thankyou to 
all that participated and especially to
Michael White for taking his time and the effort that he put into this.

I would encourage those of you out there trying resurrect Men's Fastpitch 
in your area to set up a format such as this.  It
has given us a shot of adrenaline heading into next year.  If you have 
questions drop us a line at

Union, ON


Hi Al,  just thought I would give you the wrap up to our season.  Quite a 
summer for our guys down this way.

Union Storm
Season Summary

We completed a sweep of Glencoe Tuesday giving us the playoff and league 
title in 2005.
Playoffs

Round 1 - we beat Morpeth 2 games to none.  Dan Beecroft picked up both wins.

Round 2 - Highgate was our next victim.  We eliminated them 3 games to 
1.  Beecroft pitched all 4 games.

Round 3 - A 3 game sweep of Glencoe.  Highlighted by great help from our 
junior aged players, Kevin Lynch and Ryan Cummings.  Ryan threw his best 
game as a Union Storm member in game 2 striking out 11 on way to a 2 hit 
4-1 win.  Beecroft recorded the other 2 wins as we fought back to win game 
1 and 3 in the bottom of the 7th.

During the playoffs different players had big nights at the plate, but our 
pitching and defence kept us in every game.

Overall season record was 34-7 including a 22-6 league record, 4-0 winning 
the Springfield tourney and 8-1 during the playoffs.

A few other Union Storm members had the pleasure of winning the Canadians

OTTAWA, ON

Gee Gees Clinch Playoff Spot

The Gee Gees secured their spot in the League Championship tournament in 
Guelph over the weekend with 3 wins in London to push their overall record 
to 10-2. The team suffered their first two losses of the year against 
Waterloo and the host team Western. The team now shares first place overall 
with Western and Windsor. The theme of the weekend was resiliency as the 
team found itself behind in the score a few times but always stayed in the 
game and kept fighting.

The team opened their weekend against the Lancers from Windsor. The Gee 
Gees were eager for revenge as it was Windsor that knocked the Garnet and 
Grey out of their own championship tournament last year. Jillian Taylor 
took the ball for the club and went 7 strong innings allowing only one run 
to a very strong Windsor squad. The team fell behind early 1-0 but were 
making solid contact without seeing the results. Danna Masters and Sam 
Pantalone reached base in the 7th to bring Lindsey McLaughlin to the plate 
with a chance to win the game. Lindsey launched a ball over the Left Field 
fence to put the team ahead for good. This was Lindseys first over the 
fence homerun, and she picked a great time to do it. The offense kept 
rolling as they put across another run to end the game 4-1. Sarah Thompson 
had a very good game behind the plate working with her summer teammate and 
keeping the Lancer hitters off balance.

The Gee Gees played their next game right away against their cross town 
rivals from Carleton. Ashley Sands was in the circle for the team and 
pitched a very solid game. Uncharacteristic physical and mental errors 
plagued the team in the early going as they allowed the Ravens to jump to a 
4-0 lead. They shook the cobwebs loose in the home half of the 1st inning 
to get the lead back with 4 runs and the offense took over. Lindsey 
McLaughlin continued her torrid pace along with Nicky Dunlop, Jen Leppard, 
and Allison Hibbet all turning in excellent performances. Ashley helped her 
own cause with a 2 run double in the 6th inning. An excellent offensive 
performance by a team that is growing to be known for pitching and defense. 
Bad news from the game came as Pam Hrick was scoring on an inflield single. 
An errant throw caught her on her arm which caused it to immediately swell. 
She left the team to receive medical attention but her return date is 
unknown. All team staff and athletes hope for a return as quick as possible.

The third game of the day was scheduled for 5:00, Eastern Time, a fact that 
was evidently not communicated to the umpires. The officials for the game 
demanded the team start the game 15 minutes before the scheduled start time 
which would have cut short the teams warm up. The Gee Gee starter, Lynn 
Kearns told the umpires she wasn't ready and could not go until the 
official time but they refused to listen. After a quick discussion, the 
umpire ejected me and again demanded the team start early. From what I 
understand the team played well but lost to a very strong team from 
Waterloo 1-0. Lynn Kearns pitched half the game ( after a complete warm 
up!!!) and Jillian Taylor provided relief for the last two innings. Further 
details are unavailable as I was stuck on another diamond with binoculars 
trying to catch a glimpse of the first game in Ottawa's history that I 
could not watch. The team unceremoniously voted and blamed the loss on me 
for distracting them from the task at hand. Thanks guys.

On a more serious note as the league continues to grow it is critically 
important that we demand more from umpires and facilities. The league now 
boasts some of Ontario's top softball players, athletes that have competed 
in national and international tournaments. These elite athletes cannot 
perform at their highest levels with substandard facilities or officials. 
Athletes risk injury when asked to rush warmups, particularly in the cold 
weather that our season is played. As we continue to work hard to market 
and grow our league it is crucial to work to improve the leagues image. On 
another note the Gee Gees would like to thanks Pete Lemon and Kevin Gordon 
as well as all the hosts for an excellent host weekend. Their effort showed 
as they did a fantastic job. Thanks guys.

The team opened Sunday with an in-division game against Queens. Again the 
team fell behind the eight-ball in Elissa Sivel's first start as a Gee Gee. 
Elissa is in her first year with the team and the coaches and fans look 
forward to her long career in the garnet and grey. Again the offense 
responded with a vengeance with 5 runs in the first inning to retake the 
lead as they raced to an 11-6 game. Ashley Sands kept hitting well with 
another pair of singles. Jen Leppard had another strong game offensively 
with a pair of doubles.
Sam Pantalone had another good game with 3 hits and Erin Durant made a 
great catch in right field to go along with a pair of singles.

The final game of the weekend was against the hosts, UWO. The team again 
fell behind early but fought to stay in the game. A 4-0 Western lead was 
shrunk to 1 behind a 3 run Gee Gee 4th keyed by a Lindsey McLaughlin double 
and Jen Leppard single. Lynn Kearns took the ball for the Gee Gees and was 
cruising for 4 innings before being relieved by Jillian Taylor in the 4th. 
Western stretched their lead to 5-3, but the Gee Gees answered again to 
bring the score to 5-4. A two run double in the 7th inning by Western put 
the game out of reach for the Gee Gees as it finished 7-4. One of the best 
games in the year that had both teams hitting well and the fans on their 
feet. We look forward to a rematch in Guelph.

The team has Thanksgiving off before hosting Queens and Carleton Oct. 15 
and 16 at Alexander Grove Park in Stittsville for the last 5 games of the 
regular season before moving on to the OIWFA Championships in Guelph. Fan 
support would be greatly appreciated at the Grove, directions can be found 
on our website. Keep checking the website for updates and news. See you at 
the Grove!

Congratulations to Chris Wismer of the Union Storm

and

Dan Bernard of the Niagara Snappers
http://athena.hmdnsgroup.com/pipermail/alsfastball_fastpitchwest.com/2005/001884.html

For taking the time to write up great "Season Wrap Ups" for their 
respective teams.

What a great idea!

Not much ball from here on in until spring, except for down under mostly so 
this kind of report is most welcome for fastball starved fans world wide - 
especially North American where we will soon be headed into fastball 
hibernation for a few months.

These two quality reports demonstrate just how far we have come in just a 
few short years.  When I started this list in 1995, it was because there 
was almost no other way to find out
where tournaments were being held,
and
what the results were.

Now, we have almost every serious men's team with at least one quality 
scribe who takes the time to write up their games, tournaments and now 
their year end wrap up!  THANK YOU, every one of you on behalf of a lot of 
fastball fans who appreciate your hard work!


So this is an open invitation to every serious men's fastball team out 
there to do the same - be it ISC, ISC II, NAFA, OASA, ASA, or whatever, 
send us your year end report.  Dan Bernard says it only takes 10 minutes to 
put a report together, so let's hear from ALL of you!


Next we will be watching for your announcement of who is on your team in 
2006 when you are ready for an official press release. until then, tid bits 
are welcome.

Yours in Fastball,

Al Doran

Hi Al:

My name is Alex Kuen and I am an 18-year old fastpitch player from 
Kimberly, WI. I am trying to get some comments from longtime players of 
fastpitch for a paper that I am writing for a class for school. My class 
theme is "The Coming Age of America," and I wanted to write about how young 
men are not playing much fastpitch anymore, and how the sport has changed 
over the years. If there are any articles that anyone may have, or any 
fans/players/sponsors etc that are willing to lend a few comments for my 
paper, I would greatly appreciate it! Anybody interested can email me at 
kuena68 at uwosh.edu

If anybody knows how I can get a hold of Jeremy Spear I would like to 
contact him for some comments based off of his great documentary.  I hope 
to hear from any and all of you--all comments are welcomed!! Thank you and 
I hope to hear from some of you!! Thanks.

USA Softball Jr. Men's Head Coach Tim Lyon and Assistant Coach Gary
Mullican, along with Selection Committe Member Doug Lindaman traveled
to Chillicothe, Missouri Sept 30th - Oct 1st to view the 14th Annual
Missouri Boy's High School State Fastpitch Tournament. This trip was
to scout potential players for the USA Jr. Men's program.  This
marked the second consecutive year that USA Softball has sent
representatives to this tournament.

Sixteen schools were entered in the single elimnation tournament with
Jefferson High School claiming the title following a hard fought 2-1
game that went 8 innings.  Kody Schieber of Jefferson outdueled Clint
Stobbe of North Harrison in a well pitched game by both young men.

This type of game showes a vast improvement in the development of
players and pitchers in Missouri High School Softball.  Last years
final, also won by Jefferson, ended with a 23-3 final score.

The finishing order of the final 4 teams is follows:

1st Place Jefferson High School (Head Coach Rob Dowis)
2nd Place North Harrison High School (Head Coach Brandon Craig)
3rd Place Winston High School (Head Coach Eric Lewis)
4th Place Nodaway High School (Head Coach Shawn Emerson)

Between games on Saturday, Coach Mulllican conducted a male pitching
clinic that was attended by over 20 young men interested in improving
their pitching skills.  The stands were packed with parents and
coaches who were also
watching and learning.  The majority of the young men in attendance
at the clinic were freshmen and sophmores. This interest was extremly
encouraging as the boys were eager to learn.

Coach Lyon spoke to a large group of coaches and parents about the Jr
Mens program and the recent success of the 2005 team at the Jr Mens
World Championships in Canada where the USA claimed a final ranking
of 5th in the World. In addition, information was made avaiable
regarding the ASA Boy's National Tournament.  This past year two new
teams from Missouri entered the ASA Boys Nationals with many parents
and coaches making plans to field more teams to compete at the 2006
ASA Boys National tournament.

The trip was another positive step in the building process of the USA
Jr. Men's Program and the overall growth of fastpitch as we continue
to promote this great game.

If you know any boys born in 1989 or later who would like to be part
of the Jr. Men's program, please feel free to contact me at this
email address or phone number below.

Thanks

Fastpitching to Excellence!

Who will be crowned Australian Softball's finest?

On 22 October 2005, Softball Australia will recognise some of the greatest 
in its history when players, officials and administrators gather for the 
fourth annual Awards of Excellence Dinner in Canberra.

"Australia is the top softball nation in the world and it's important that 
we recognise and honour those who have not only achieved excellence in 
playing the game, but also who have helped provide quality in all areas of 
the sport over the past year," said Susan Crow, Chief Executive of Softball 
Australia.

The awards are designed to honour exemplary achievement in categories such 
as coaching, officiating, athletic performance (male and female), spirit, 
administration and information technology.

Special recognition will also be made to the Australian Under 19 Men's 
team, the Aussie Colts, currently ranked one in the world, for etching 
their name in the history books by winning their third consecutive World 
Championship title in Canada in July 2005.

Three of the game's greats will also be acknowledged. Joanne Brown (ACT) 
who represented Australia at two Olympic Games and three Open Women's World 
Championships and Lindsey Carroll (ACT) who played at two Open Men's World 
Championships (USA 1996 and South Africa 2000) and was Head Coach of the 
Australian Under 19 Men's team, guiding them to two World Championships, 
will be inducted into Softball Australia's Hall of Fame. Ken Culpitt (ACT) 
will be presented with a Life Membership for his active contribution both 
on and off the diamond since 1979.

WHEN:                 Saturday 22 October 2005

National League to go ahead minus Canterbury
Tuesday October 11th 2005

New Zealand Softball officials have reacted with disappointment to 
the news today that Canterbury Softball have chosen not to enter 
teams in the men's and women's New Zealand Community Trust National 
League competitions.

Although disappointed at the Canterbury decision, Softball New 
Zealand chief executive Dale Eagar says the National League will 
still go ahead, starting next month with six teams entered in the 
men's league and five in the women's.

"The National League as an opportunity for the premier male and 
female players throughout the country to play at the highest level 
will still occur and I continue to have faith in it as a 'shop 
window' for the game. The important task for us now will be to 
confirm the draw this week and establish the required organisational 
structures to ensure everything runs smoothly," said Eagar.

Canterbury has chosen not to enter teams in the league following 
discussions with New Zealand Softball over the issue of the 
equalisation of costs for competing in the four weekend long tournament.

The National League has been running since the 2002/03 season and 
during that time each franchise involved has been charged a 
participation fee by New Zealand Softball to cover the actual costs 
of their franchise taking part.

With franchises coming from around the country the fee charged for 
each entity are variable due to the costs of things such as travel, 
air and land based, and accommodation. Canterbury has been seeking to 
have one equal fee charged of every franchise.

Eagar says that, while equalisation is something the national body is 
genuinely interested in investigating and working towards, at this 
stage of the organisation for this season the board of New Zealand 
Softball believed it could not be implemented.

"Equalisation of costs for participating teams was something 
originally desired at the outset of the National League but was 
unable to be implemented at the time because of the requirements of 
the funding agencies.  It now appears that there is greater 
acceptance of this and is therefore something we are working towards 
for next season. While we understand Canterbury's view point the 
board of New Zealand Softball don't believe they are in a position 
where we could guarantee the successful implementation of 
equalisation at this stage," said Eagar.


While the Canterbury franchise may not be participating the regions 
players are still welcome to join the competition says Eagar. They 
can do so by registering with New Zealand Softball and seeking 
selection through the player draft.

Micksburg wins "Battle of Eastern Ontario"

Micksburg, ON
Game 2 of the Greater Ottawa Fastball League vs. 
Upper Ottawa Valley Men's Fastball League 
regional finals was played Friday night Oct 7 in very cool conditions.

After losing game 1 at home by a score of 4-0, 
Kanata Team Easton defeated Micksburg in their 
own park by the same 4-0 score to tie the series. 
Dan Konkle pitched the complete game shutout. 
John Peck had a homer for Team Easton. Corey Costello took the loss.

The teams had agreed previously that in order to 
save travel and get the series in before the 
weather got too cool that the third and deciding 
game would be a ?mini-game? in which the first 
team to hold a lead after a complete inning would the winners.

Game 3 ?mini-game? turned out to be the longest 
game of the series, as the teams played seven 
scoreless innings, before Corey Costello hit a 
walk-off homer in the bottom of the eighth to win 
the inaugural Regional Series for the Micksburg 
Twins. Costello had the pitching victory. Dan Konkle was the loser.

Both Costello and Konkle threw all 15 innings on 
Friday. Dan Konkle allowed only one run and 
struck out 29. Corey Costello finished an 
incredible season on the slab (which included two 
perfect games) and at the plate by throwing eight 
innings of shutout ball and hitting the game winning homer in the final match.

Some details of the final games are on the league 
website at 
<http://mailstart.com/redir.asp?u=http://ca.geocities.com/fitzroyfastball/box100405.htm>http://ca.geocities.com/fitzroyfastball/box100405.htm 
(game 1) and 
<http://mailstart.com/redir.asp?u=http://ca.geocities.com/fitzroyfastball/box100705.htm>http://ca.geocities.com/fitzroyfastball/box100705.htm 
(games 2 and 3).

This was the first year that the two league 
champions played off in a Regional Final, as well 
as interlocking in regular season play, and I am 
confident that we can call the experiment a 
success and it should be in place again for the 2006 season.

Following is an article as it appeared in the 
Pembroke Daily Observer, written by Dave Noppe.

throughout the season, covering the Upper Valley 
league with several articles and photos.)

MICKSBURG ? Corey Costello settled the men?s 
regional fastball final with one swing of the bat 
on a long and cold Friday night in Micksburg.

In the bottom of the eighth extra inning, 
Costello ripped a solo home run over the fence in 
centre field to give the Twins a 1-0 win in what 
was essentially game three of the series.

After Kanata won game two, the teams played 
sudden-death extra innings to determine the series winner.

In a serious pitching duel, Costello battled with 
Kanata?s Dan Konkle, both fanning batters in order.

Through 15 innings Konkle struck out 29, gave up seven hits and only one run.

Costello fanned 17 batters, surrendered three hits and four runs.

The Twins had the best chance to end the extra 
innings in the bottom of the 11th after Costello 
slapped a leadoff triple. Kanata put both Jamey 
Mick and Brad Steege on base with intentional 
walks to load the bases. But the gamble paid off 
as Konkle battled back to strike out Kerr 
Childerhose, Brent McIntyre and Dwight Mick to escape the inning.

The Greater Ottawa Fastball League champion 
Kanata Team Easton won game two of the regional final 4-0.

After four scoreless innings, Team Easton got out 
to a 3-0 lead in the top of the fourth on a RBI 
single by Randy Peck and a two- run homer by John Peck.

In the sixth Kevin Chevrier doubled and scored on 
a Randy Peck RBI groundout to put Kanata up 4-0

----------
Wyevale, ON



Thought I would plant the seed now before the 
snow flies and hockey consumes our every thought.



On the Canada Day Weekend in 2006 the Wyevale 
Tribe will continue a long standing tradition by 
hosting their annual fastball tournament to be 
held in Elmvale, ON, with Wyevale, ON as the 
secondary diamond.  The tournament will be held 
during the July 1st weekend (June 30, July 1-2).



Last year the tournament format changed from the 
traditional double knockout to a round robin 
format that guaranteed 3 games for all 
teams.  Due to the success of this format, this 
year we will continue with the pool format, and 
hope to garner the interest of 12 teams (last year we had 10).



Based on a 12 team format, the Tribe will be able 
to put up $1,000.00 to the champion.  Teams will 
be grouped into 4 pools of 3.  Each team will 
play the other 2 teams in their pool.  Then the 
top 2 teams from each pool will be seeded into a 
single elimination tournament to decide the A 
Champion.  The bottom team in each pool will be 
seeded into their own single elimination 
tournament to determine the B 
Champion.  Championship game is scheduled for 2:15 on Sunday.



Last Year?s participants included:

Wyevale Tribe

Minesing Monarchs ? 2005 Champs

Orangeville ? 2nd at 2005 Ontario Challenge Cup

Milverton Millwrights ? 2004 Champs



Those interested should contact Shane Bywater by 
email at 
<mailto:shane at apexia.ca>shane at apexia.ca.  Entry 
Fee will be $300.00, and pitching is limited to 
ISCII caliber (based on rules set out by the 
ISC).  Reserve your spot today, and we?ll contact 
you at the beginning of next season to confirm the entry.

Softball Canada's Women's National Team wins 1st game at Nebraska Fall Classic
October 12th, 2005

(Ottawa) Softball Canada's Women's National team 
defeated Creighton 4-1 in their first
game at the Nebraska Fall Classic in Lincoln, 
Nebraska.  The tournament is part of
Softball Canada's Senior Women's National Team 
selection camp to select a final roster

The Pan American Championship serves as a 
qualifier for the 2006 World Championship, and
the 2007 Pan American Games.

Lauren Bay (Trail, BC) earned the win for Canada; 
Bay pitched 4 shutout innings allowing
no hits, no base on balls and she struck out a 
remarkable 10 Creighton batters.  Ashley
Lanz (Winnipeg, MB) entered the game in the 5th 
inning, allowing 1 hit, 1 run, and 1
base on ball in three innings of work.

In the bottom of the 1st inning, with 1 out, 
Kristy Odamura (Richmond, BC) hit a
single.  Odamura advanced to 2nd on a wild pitch, 
then to 3rd on a pass ball.  Sheena
Lawick (Calgary, AB) followed up with an RBI 
single up the middle, scoring Odamura.
Alison Bradley (Pinkerton, ON) reached 1st base 
on an error.  With 2 out, Tamra Howren
(Surrey, BC) singled to right field, scoring 
Lawrick and Bradley.  Canada was up 3-0
after 1 inning of play.  Canada added another run 
in the bottom of the 2nd inning on an
Odamura single that scored Melanie Matthews (Surrey, BC).

Canada will face Creighton again at 6PM in the 
second half of the double header.

Dropped Third Strike

We all know the baseball rule rule - See below

"6.09 The batter becomes a runner when ... (b) the third strike called by
the umpire is not caught, providing (1) first base is unoccupied, or (2)
first base is occupied with two out.
"When a batter becomes a base runner on a third strike not caught by the
catcher and starts for the dugout, or his position, and then realizes his
situation and attempts to reach first base, he is not out unless he or first
base is tagged before he reaches first base. If, however, he actually
reaches the dugout or dugout steps, he may not then attempt to go to first
base and shall be out."

Is there an umpire or rulesmaker that can explain the logic that the
rulemakers used to state that a catcher must catch the third strike. What
are we trying to prevent ??

There are novices in my office that say the batter should be out for
swinging and missing the third strike regarless of what the catcher does.

?????????

JRW

Colorado short stop; Timpf scored on the play.  Canada continued to threaten in the 
inning as Schill stole second base.  Melanie Matthews (Surrey, BC) was then struck out 
to end the inning.

Canada defeats Nebraska in 12 innings: Wraps up Event with a 5-1 record
October 16th, 2005

(Ottawa) Earlier tonight, Canada?s National Women?s Softball team defeated 
the Nebraska
Huskers 2-1 in 12 innings.  With the win Canada finishes the Nebraska Fall 
Classic with
a 5-1 record.  Canada lost the first game in the doubleheader by a 9-1 
score earlier
this afternoon.

Nebraska took the lead in the bottom of the 2nd inning by scoring a run off 
of Ashley
Lanz (Winnipeg, MB).  Lanz would throw for 4 innings; allow 3 hits, 1 run, 
walk 3
batters, and strike out 3 in a no decision.

Canada tied the game in the top of the 6th inning.  Kristy Odamura 
(Richmond, BC) hit a
1 out double, followed by a bunt single by No?mie Marin (Acton Vale, QC) 
that put
runners at the corners.  Marin then stole second, and Odamura headed for 
home plate.
The Huskers cut off the throw to 2nd and attempted to throw out Odamura at 
home plate
but were unsuccessful.

In the top of the 12th inning, with Marin starting the inning at 2nd, 
former Husker
Sheena Lawrick (Calgary, AB) sacrificed Marin over to 3rd base.  Alison 
Bradley
(Pinkerton, ON) then walked to put runners at 1st and 3rd.  Erin Cumpstone 
(Saskatoon,
SK) followed up with a bloop to right field that scored Marin.  Auburn 
Sigurdson
(Surrey, BC) retired the side in the bottom of the 12 inning securing 
Canada?s 2-1 win.

Up next for the Women?s National team is the selection of 17 athletes that 
will
represent Canada at the 2005 Pan American Championships held in Guatemala 
City from
November 26th - December 4th, 2005. The Pan American Championships serve as 
a qualifier

Sunday, October 16
Gee Gees Finish Strong
Very strong weekend for the Gee Gees as they wrapped up their final league 
games. The team seems to be peaking at the right time heading into the 
OIWFA Championship in Guelph next weekend. The team went 5-0 this weekend 
to finish the season 15-2 which ties them for first place with the 
Universtiy of Western Ontario. Their 7-4 loss to Western in London two 
weeks ago gives UWO first place overall and puts the Gee Gees in a strong 
second place.

The team opened the rainy, wet weekend with a game against the Carleton 
University Ravens. The team put on a show for the hometown fans with their 
bestt offensive game of the year, exploding for 17 runs in 3 innings. 
Rookie Elissa Sivel was magnificent, keeping the Ravens off balance en 
route to a 1-hitter. A very impressive offensive performance from a team 
that saw all 9 starting hitters cross the plate at least once. Their hard 
work is beginning to pay off.

The second game of the weekend lasted over 24 hours. Queens got to a quick 
start scoring 3 runs in the first 3 innings before rain forced both teams 
off the field. The Gee Gees had spent most of the morning working on the 
field to ensure it would be playable but this final spurt of rain was the 
final straw. Despite sunny weather the rest of Saturdays games had to be 
delayed until Sunday. The team would like to note Mark Gough from Edmonton, 
Alberta and one of the members of Softball Canada's Officials Development 
Committee and one of Softball Canada's Deputy Umpires in Chief was in the 
stands for Saturdays game and agreed to work the game until it was delayed. 
We would like to thank Mark for his effort and are very lucky to have such 
high level officials always willing to work our games. The game continued 
on Sunday with the bases loaded and one out with Sarah Thompson hitting. 
Sarah opened the floodgates with a double that kicked off a 9 run innging 
for the Gee Gees. Shannon Lundrigan ripped a double to cash in a pair of 
runs and Allison Hibbett kept up her torrid pace with an RBI double of her 
own. Ashley Sands had a clutch hit to move over a pair of runners and set 
up the top of the order which kept the inning rolling. The game finished 
10-3 with all the runs coming in one inning. Another very impressive 
performance for the offense. Jillian Taylor had a very solid game and had 
no difficulty picking up where she left off the day before. A very 
impressive weekend for all of the Gee Gees young pitchers.

Lynn Kearns took the ball for the Garnet and Grey against Carleton. She 
threw one of her best games of the year allowing 4 runs over 7 innings. She 
sparkled, using all of her pitches effectively and keeping the Ravens off 
balance. Allison Hibbett was behind the plate and did a masterful job of 
calling the game. The offense kept rolling scoring 8 runs. Heather Huggins 
had her best offensive game of the year with 2 monster doubles and a triple 
to centerfield. In a smaller park all 3 hits would have been over the 
fence. Jen Leppard had a very strong game with 3 hits in 3 trips to the 
plate. Lynn helped her own cause with 3 hits as well including a monster 
double off the left field wall. Rookie Sam Pantalone had a very clutch game 
with a pair of hits for RBI's and a run scored. Final score was 8-4.

The team matched up against Queens in their 3rd game of the day. Jill 
Taylor took the ball again for the Gee Gees and was dominant over 7 
innings. She seemed to get stronger as the game went on using only 7 
pitches to record the last 6 outs of the game. She allowed 1 run on 3 hits 
in 7 innings. She has been a very welcome addition to the team that is rich 
with young pitching talent. The offense worked hard to keep everyone on 
their toes with 3 runs in the first inning and another in their last at 
bat. They showcased their speed and power at the top of the order with 
Danna Masters and Erin Durant. The two cause opposing teams fits with their 
ability to alternatively lay bunts or drive slaps past charging infielders. 
They both ingite the team as they did in this game with a pair of runs 
right off the bat in the first inning. Pam Hrick had a strong day at the 
plate with a pair of long doubles, but the highlight of the day belonged to 
Nicole Dunlop. In her 3rd year as a Gee Gee and playing in front of the 
home crowd, she launched her first homerun over the fence. After many near 
misses off of fences it was very nice to see her succeed. Congratulations 
Nicole.

The final game of the weekend saw two tired, wet and cold teams from Ottawa 
compete. Ottawa defeated Carleton 4-3 in the final game of the 2005 regular 
season. Not to be overlooked this weekend is the defense. Shannon Lundrigan 
made a pair of jaw dropping plays at SS that took her behind third base to 
reach the ball. Both Gee Gee catchers were working hard on picking off 
runners and the infield and outfield were very solid. The team looks to be 
in good shape as they head to Guelph for the playoffs.

The team would like to thank all of their volunteers for their support over 
the weekend and a big thank you to the fans who braved the wind and rain to 
watch their team. A contingent of their fans will follow the team to 
Guelph, and it is very much appreciated. The team would also like to thank 
the umpires who as always provided an elite level crew for these games. 
Zone Umpire in Chief Dick Coleman was the one responsible for the crew in 
his last day on the job. The team would like to extend a heartfelt thanks 
to Dick for all his help and support over the years. We would like to 
acknowledge Mark Gough from Edmonton and Moose Gibson from Moose Jaw 
Saskatchewan for flying into Ottawa to work our games. Thanks guys.

A very solid wrap up to the 2005 season. Looking foward to seeing everyone 
in Guelph.  The full draw sheet will be available later on the week so 
please check our website for our game times.

GOLDEN HORSESHOE FASTBALL LEAGUE


Unfortunately, some loser who clearly has far too much time on his hands 
due to an inability to get a real job has hacked the ghfl.ca forum. I am 
working with Jim Flanagan to get the forum back online and, hopefully to 
recover all of the posts. We will keep you advised via Al's Fastball List, 
The Deuce and other fastball boards when the ghfl.ca forum is back up and 
operating.

Thank you for your patience.
Cheers,

Message-ID: <6.2.0.14.2.20051018011027.02ab07e0@209.146.191.203>

I believe the reason is that a put out has to occur in order for an out to 
be registered. Just because the ball beats the runner to first base does 
not constitute an out.  The first baseman must catch the ball as 
well.  Like wise even though a third strike has occurred, a catch must be 
in order for a put out to occur( this is why in most cases an error is 
charged to the catcher if a dropped third strike allows a batter to reach 
first safely).

Top men's sides ready for early season test
Wednesday October 19th 2005

The Doreen Dalton tournament in Lower Hutt this weekend is going to put the 
early season form of the leading men's premier club sides to the test.

This season the tournament is celebrating its 10th year in the current 
format and in a first for the event the tournament has been expanded to 
include more teams. Traditionally the tournament invites eight teams to 
compete for the title but this year 11 teams have been included.

Miramar are the defending champions but they have a tough road ahead of 
them if they want to win it again. With 11 teams included the tournament 
has been split into two sections with round robin play to be held on 
Friday, Saturday and Sunday ahead of semi finals and final on Monday.

The defending champs Miramar have been drawn in the same section as Hutt 
City United, Northcote, Hutt Valley Dodgers, Giants and Stoke of Nelson. 
The other section sees the 2004/05 national club champions Ramblers of 
Auckland taking on Porirua, Hutt Valley Cardinals, Poneke Kilbirnie and 
Johnsonville.

Host team Hutt City United open the tournament on Friday night at Fraser 
Park when they take on Hutt Valley Dodgers.

Brent Dalton of the Hutt City United club says the tournament while early 
in the season is a good early hit out for the teams. And with some of the 
best club sides in the country attending you can expect some high quality 
softball.

Some of the stars expected to be on show over the weekend include New 
Zealand Community Trust Black Sox captain Jarrad Martin turning out for 
Northcote along with fellow international Brad Rona. Leading the way for 
Ramblers will be Black Sox pitcher Thomas Cameron along with Nathan 
Nukunuku and Travis Wilson.

The home sides won't be without their stars either Porirua will be strong 
with experienced internationals in their line-up such as Thomas and Fabian 
Makea, Gene Lutton and new Black Sox pitcher Tane Richardson. Poneke 
Kilbirnie will be looking to Stacy McLean and Craig Wallace along with 
veteran Black Sox pitcher Marty Grant.

The tournament while early in the season could provide an insight for 
National League coaches as they look to name the protected players in their 
14 man squads at the end of this month.

Oshawa On



The SpinMaster Pitching/Catching School commences again for the third year 
in a row on Wednesday October 26,2005, a little more than one week from now.

For those that have not registered as yet I suggest you do it now to 
confirm your spot in the School.

Pitchers will be instructed by as many as 5 experienced pitching 
instructors which translates into a very small ratio of students to instructor.

Catchers to catching instructor ratio will  be roughly two or three to one.

Anyone wishing to improve their game in these areas or information on the 
School should contact:

The 'dropped' third strike rule has been around for
ever in baseball. It is pretty straight forward as to
what constitutes the batter being able to go to 1st
base. My problem with the White Sox game is with
the umpire. He(homeplate ump) "BLEW" it. He
signalled an out with a closed - upright fist (very
premature), it has also been stated(I wasnt there)
that he actually said out. Two no-no's for an ump.
You have to call "strike three", then evaluate if the
catcher caught it, if he didnt catch it you dont say
or signal anything. (This is little league basics).
To listen to the guy try to validate what he did is
a 'crock'. He should just admit he screwed up. All
umpires do, and the good ones admit it. I would
say - looking at the closed fist in the air - it was
the 3rd out. That is what that signal is for. You
just cant visually signal out, and have something
else on your mind. What about the case of deaf
players. (I actually umped in cases with deaf kids)
We used the same universal visual signals. Major
league baseball has the worst crew of officials in
all of sport. Theay are egotistical,out of shape, and
think they are there to be seen. Until, the people who
run baseball do something about this, we will continue
to see terrible calls. I saw Jorge Posada get 3 strikes
called on him, that were not over the plate. The 3rd
one was at least 8 inches outside the plate. This is
just inexcusable - and these guys get PAID!
My opinion only

Host side on top at Doreen Dalton tournament
Saturday October 22nd 2005

Hutt City United has made a strong start to the Doreen Dalton tournament 
today as they sit at the top of their section with an unbeaten 3-0 record.

The Hutt Valley club side are the hosts of the premier one men's tournament 
played at Fraser Park in Lower Hutt over Labour Weekend. The home team 
opened the tournament on Friday night with a 5-0 win over Hutt Valley 
Dodgers and backed up it up today with a 1-0 victory over Northcote and 5-3 
result over Giants.

Victory over Northcote was a close run thing with the only run of the game 
coming in the first inning when Brad Baker scampered home on the hit by Pat 
Humphries.

Northcote had their chances in the game going closest in the bottom of the 
sixth inning when they loaded up the bases with only one down. However HCU 
pitcher Jeremy Manly poured cold water on Northcote hitters picking up 
consecutive strikeouts to end the inning.

Manly was a dominant feature on the mound as he faced 25 batters taking 12 
strikeouts while giving up three hits and two walks.

Also unbeaten after the first day of the tournament are Ramblers and 
Miramar who have both had two wins.

The national club champions Ramblers have shown strong form as they opened 
the day with blazing hitting picking up a 5-3 win over Hutt Valley 
Cardinals followed by a 2-0 victory over Johnsonville.

Miramar are the defending champions and they have shown they mean business 
as they look to win it again. They opened up with a 2-1 win over Northcote 
and have followed it up with a 5-0 victory against Stoke.

It will be a turn up for the record books though if Miramar take out the 
title again as no team has ever won the title twice in the tournaments nine 
year history.

Round robin play in the tournament wraps up tomorrow with five rounds of 
games ahead of the playoffs on Monday.

Doreen Dalton Premier One Men's Tournament, Day 1 Results:
Hutt City United 5 Hutt Valley Dodgers 0, Ramblers 5 Hutt Valley Cardinals 
3, Poneke Kilbirnie 5 Johnsonville 1, Ramblers 2 Johnsonville 0, Hutt City

Power hitting Ramblers unbeaten
Sunday October 23rd 2005

Blazing bats from Ramblers has seen them go through round robin play 
unbeaten and they look to be in prime position heading into the finals 
tomorrow of the Doreen Dalton premier one men's tournament.

National club champions Ramblers have been dominant at Fraser Park, Lower 
Hutt with power hitting from the likes of Nathan Nukunuku, Donny Hale, 
Travis Wilson and Scott O'Neale proving too hot to handle.

Taking on Porirua, Ramblers set the game alight in the first inning when 
lead off hitter Nukunuku picked up a single and then came home via a huge 
automatic home run off the bat of Wilson over the centre field fence.

Automatic home runs were a feature of the game as O'Neale added another in 
the first inning and Hale picked up a double in the third and fifth innings 
to give Ramblers a convincing victory 6-0.

Ramblers continued that winning form in their second game of the day as 
they overcame Poneke Kilbirnie 2-0.

In the opposite section defending champions Miramar lead the way despite a 
surprise loss against Hutt Valley Dodgers 6-2 at the end of the day today.

The defending champions Miramar picked up two wins earlier in the day 
defeating Giants 10-0, Hutt City United 4-1.

Miramar started strong in their first game as they defeated Giants of 
Wairarapa 10-0. A feature of that game was the hitting of Todd Grego who 
picked up two hits including four RBI's and a big automatic home run over 
the centre field fence. Miramar managed eight hits in the game and won it 
in four innings with the mercy rule invoked as the defending champions were 
up by more then seven runs.

The crucial clash of the day for Miramar came when they took on Hutt City 
United with that game deciding the section winner. In a close game Miramar 
came out on top 4-1 with consistent hitting proving the difference. Miramar 
picked up seven hits in the game scoring runs in the second, third and 
fifth innings.

With round robin play completed the teams head into the finals tomorrow 
with Miramar playing Poneke Kilbirnie and Ramblers taking on Hutt City 
United in the semi finals in the morning. The winners of the semi finals 
will move on to the final at 2pm.


The remaining seven teams in the tournament will play off in the plate section.

Durham Lords Media Release 
 
 
 
 
 
October 23, 2005
 
 
 
 
 
LORDS FASTBALL MEDAL FOR NINTH STRAIGHT SEASON
 
 
 
 
 
Oshawa ? The Durham Lords Women's Collegiate Fastball team took part in the 2005 Ontario College Athletic Association( OCAA ) Women's Fastball Championships in Hamilton, at Mohawk Sports Park hosted by Mohawk College this past weekend.  On their way to the Championships, the Lords completed their third straight perfect 12-0 regular season, scoring a total of 113 runs while allowing opponents just 23 runs scored.  
 
 
 
 
 
However, the weather shortened Championship was not meant to be for the Lords from Durham.  The ladies amazing 56 game conference winning streak came to an end on Sunday, following a 7-2 loss to the St. Clair Saints (Windsor) in the OCAA Gold Medal game.  The Lords were certainly dealt a break after yesterday's game where they trailed St. Clair 11-2 but it was rained out before becoming an official game and a new 0-0 game was started today.  However, the Saints were too much on this day for the regular season champion Lords who earn the silver medal, for the school's ninth consecutive medal finish and 18 in 19 seasons.
 
 
 
 
 
It was only a matter of time until the streak came to an end.  What a streak it was - 56 consecutive wins, 3 championships plus an Ontario Silver medal - simply amazing. Congratulations to the Coaching Staff: Jim Nemish, Mal Swift and Rosemary Theriault and the entire team for an exciting season.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wet, wild, weekend for the Gee-Gees.

 

The representatives from the University of Ottawa came away with
the Silver Medal at the OIWFA Championships.  It was a rainy
and cold weekend that changed the game for all of the teams.
 The Gee-Gees lost the final game 2-0 to the University of Toronto
that won their first Gold Medal.  Congratulations are also in
order to the University of Western for winning their second straight
Bronze Medal.

 

The Gee-Gees went into the Championship Tournament as the number
two seed overall and were scheduled to play McMaster, Guelph,
and Toronto.  Their first game against McMaster was played at
11:00 Saturday morning. 

 

On a wet field and through very cold weather the Garnet and Grey
prevailed in an uncharacteristically sloppy game.  The offense
started strong with 3 runs in the first inning behind a pair
of bunt singles from Erin Durant and Danna Masters, a pair of
walks to Lindsey McLaughlin and Nicole Dunlop and a double from
Jen Leppard did the damage.  The whole team contributed to the
offensive output with Heather Huggins driving in Pam Hrick and
Jen Leppard in the 3rd with a huge triple. She continued a strong
game with an RBI single in the 4th.  The team piled on another
run in the 6th to take a 9-7 win. A very strong start for the
offense but the defense seemed to struggle with the cold making
several errors and allowing 7 runs, most of them unearned. Lynn
Kearns took the start for the Gees and pitched well before handing
the ball to Elissa Sivel who took the win. Elissa is in her first
year with the team and brightens the prospects for the future
as a strong pitcher and outfielder.

 

Jillian Taylor took the ball for the Gee-Gees in their second
game against defending Champions and host team Guelph.  The team
played probably their best game of the weekend taking a 9-1 win
in a game that was stopped after 6 innings.  Jillian had a strong
game and was helped by great calling by Sarah Thompson who had
a fantastic weekend behind the plate.  The defense Gee-Gee fans
are used to was back frustrating Guelph hitters with strong plays.
 The offense kept rolling, scoring 9 runs in 6 innings.  Notable
efforts came from Pam Hrick who scored twice and drove in 3 runs
with a pair of doubles. Sam Pantalone kicked off an awesome weekend
with an RBI triple to open the scoring.

 

Their next game against the University of Toronto was delayed
until Sunday due to heavy rain and unplayable fields.  Volunteers
from two teams worked hard on the diamonds to ensure the games
could go on.  A big thank you goes to Kevin Gordon and Pete Lemon
from Western for working hard with rakes and Cory Morrison from
the University of Ottawa for helping out.  Also the team would
like to thank former Gee-Gee coaches Brian Robertson and Genevieve
Walkden for helping get the field ready to go.  Great job guys,
thanks for stepping up when everyone needed you.

 

This was the Gee-Gees chance to knock the Varsity Blues out of
the tournament.  They had an earlier loss to Guelph and with
the host team at 2-1 and Ottawa at 2-0 a Gee Gee win would have
eliminated the eventual champions.  Toronto had their backs against
the wall and played that way with a very strong performance beating
the Gees 8-4.  The highlight of the game was a monster 2 run
homerun from Shannon Lundrigan.  The shot cleared the fence by
at least 40 feet and hit the second row of trees halfway up.
 This was Shannons first homerun over the fence and joined the
three-member club of Gee-Gees who have hit it over the fence
this season.  Shannon has blossomed into one of the most valuable
players on the team this season and the team is looking forward
to having her back next year as she finishes her degree. The
defensive highlight of the game came from Danna Masters who made
a spectacular catch with the bases loaded to keep the team in
the game.  Danna was playing her last day as a Gee Gee and made
everyone remember what made her one of the most valuable players
in the league over her 4 years. She is a star on both sides of
the ball and will be sorely missed by the program.

 

With the tie-breaking formula and the Gee-Gees big win against
Guelph they still retained first place in their division despite
the loss. A Western loss to Brock pushed them to 2nd in their
division and set up a semi-final match-up between the two top
seeds from the regular season.  The Gee-Gees finished the season
with the top offense and matched up with the Mustangs top pitching
and defense.  Western opened the scoring with 4 runs in the first
and Ottawa answered with one on another triple from Sam Pantalone.
 Sam had a monster day at the plate and in the field for the
Gee Gees.  A double from Danna Masters in the 2nd inning drove
in Shannon Lundrigan and Pam Hrick.  After a shaky start Lynn
Kearns settled down and pitched a great game for the garnet and
grey.  They showed off their offensive prowess racking up 8 runs
on the team that allowed the fewest runs in the regular season.
 Lindsey McLaughlin launched her second homerun of the season
and second of the day for the Gee Gees in the 5th inning and
Sam Pantalone exploded for a 3 run shot to left field for the
3rd home run of the day, 5th on the season, and became the 4th
different player to knock it over the fence.  Very impressive
results for a team that made hitting their priority, a strong
credit to Head Coach Gil Read who is one of the best hitting
coaches in North America. A scary moment for the Gee-Gees in
the 7th inning when a Mustang batter drove a line drive off of
Lynn Kearns thumb.  She left the game and was unavailable for
the final. Bad luck for Gee Gee hurlers this season as Lindsey
Hutton stayed at home with a broken foot after sliding into third
base in St. Catharines, Ashley Sands was battling a sore shoulder
after injuring it diving into a base in London and Lynn, whose
injury forced her out of the game and the lineup.  A very impressive
defensive performance by the Gee-Gees, particularly the middle
infielders, Shannon Lundrigan added to her performance with several
excellent plays at shortstop and Pam Hrick put on an absolute
show at second base with several game-saving catches.  Pam?s
athleticism was on full display in her final day as a Gee Gee.

 

The team expended a great amount of energy defeating Western
in the semi and appeared to be out of gas for the final game.
 They played solid defense and got great pitching from Ashley
Sands but couldn?t seem to string together any offense.  They
were shutout 2-0 for only the second time for the season. Congratulations
to the University of  Toronto on their first gold medal.  

 

Three Gee-Gees will graduate this season, Pam Hrick, Nicole Dunlop,
and Danna Masters. These 3 have had very strong and lasting contributions
to the team and have become synonymous with Gee Gee softball.
 They will be sorely missed.  

 

The future looks strong however, with nearly the rest of this
years squad in either their first or second year and eligible
to play for years to come.  The Gee-Gees will be back in 2006
to continue their hunt for the OIWFA Championship.  Please watch
our website for updates in the off-season.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
October 25, 2005
Denmark, WI


The Circle Tap fastpitch softball team has suffered some great
losses this
off season with the departure of many extremely talented players,
however
I think we have filled those voids rather well. Circle Tap will
be
building on a team that finished tied for 3rd in the ISC WT in
2005(37-22
overall), a 4th place finish in 2004, 8th place in 2003, and
10th place in
2002.
First, for the additions. The Circle Tap pitching staff will
consist of
All-World selection Collin McKenzie and an extremely talented
up and comer
Matt Bramwell, from opposite ends of Canada. Also, as promised
center
fielder Jess Ellestad returns to the squad after a one year hiatus.
1B/C
Brock Bisick decided he wasn't quite ready for retirement so
he will be
returning after taking '05 off. Circle Tap is also thrilled to
announce
the addition of long time Dolan/Murphy star Tommy Crouch. He
will see
time in a variety of positions and will be a huge impact on the
offensive
side. Also, catcher Bryan Hansen who has played in the ranks
of the ISCII
teams Denmark Merchants and Lumberjacks as well as 23U teams
Black Diamond
Stables(Champs '04) and Pioneer Metal Finishers(runner up '05).
Big heart
and ability out of this young kid.
Returning players include:
Kyle Magnusson who led the team in average(.366) and OB%(.445)
Don Garvey who was 3rd on the team(.333) OB%(.400) Hits(51-2nd)
HR(8-2nd)RBI(30-3rd)
Chris Delarwelle (.278) led the team in HR(19) RBI(40) BB(28)
OB%(.409-2nd)
Kevin Reichardt OB%.407 27BB 15RBI 5HR
Todd Malnory 18RBI 6HR
Darren Derricks 11RBI and the most solid defense player I've
seen
Jesse Wotruba utility man who can play anywhere

I think we have assembled another highly competitive top 10 team
with
excellent pitching and a lot of offense. Looking forward to 2006

Thursday October 27th 2005

The first steps in the 2005/06 New Zealand Community Trust NationalLeague
will be made tomorrow when franchise coaches name their list
ofprotected players.

Going into tomorrow coaches have the option of naming their full

go to the playerdraft and selected the rest of their squad. 

There is an exception to the rule though in the case of the CentralVikings
and Southern Pride franchises who have the option of naming onlyfour
protected players and picking their remaining players from thedraft.
An exception has been made to the rule in the case of the twofranchises
due to the limited player base in both regions.

Once the squads are finalised the National League will get underway
onSaturday November 19th with teams drawn to face each other
twice duringround robin play which will be held over three weekends
around thecountry. There will be a break in the National League
on December 3rd and4th due to an international series to be held

In the women?s league there are five teams entered and Hutt Valley
holdthe title of defending champions. While in the men?s league
there are sixteams entered and Wellington has the task of winning
the men?s title fora second consecutive time.

There are a few new faces on the coaching front for the 2005/06
leaguewith former Black Sox captain Carl Gould taking over the
reigns of theAuckland men?s team while former Central Vikings
men?s coach PaulStockford will lead Hutt Valley and Peter Flood
is in charge for CentralVikings.

 I am writing to invite all fastball teams, players and fans to post a flag on the Fastball Map at Fastpitchwest (along with your comments, photo and/or URL if you wish).  It's a simple, but slick Google application called Frappr that lets you stake a flag to show others where you are on the map

Click the link below to see what's been posted so far.    As you will see, most people are posting photos, so we encourage you to post yours.   .  
 
 Don't have a photo to post? Maybe you're in our galleries at Fastpitchwest.  Feel free to save and upload, as Frappr will automatically shrink it for you.  Have a team?  Upload your logo or team photo. (you'll see some teams already have).
 
 Want to change the photo or comments later? Just email us and we'll remove the old one so you can post a new one.

National League coaches throw their cards on the table
Friday October 28th 2005

Coaches in the New Zealand Community Trust men?s and women?s
NationalLeague have shown their hand today with the naming of
protectedplayers.

Today was the day when teams had to name their initial squads
withcoaches having the option of naming a full squad of 14 players
or namingas few as eight and selecting their remaining players
from thedraft.

Of the women?s teams named today there are places open in every
squad fordraft selections. Both Wellington and Central Vikings
have named 10players each with both requiring pitchers in the
draft. Central Vikingsplaced third in the National League last
season and will be looking foreven more this time around. Once
again pitcher Michal Tangaroa will bethe cornerstone of the team.

Wellington has lost a number of class player?s form last season
and coachWayne Nichols has included a number of fresh new faces
in his list ofprotected players. A lot of responsibility will
fall on the shoulders ofNew Zealand Community Trust White Sox
pitcher Lisa Such.

Auckland and Southern Pride have selected nine players each so
far withthe Southern side looking to the draft for both of theirpitchers.

Defending champs Hutt Valley won?t be naming their team until
Mondayafter coach Naomi Shaw received an exemption to name her
side lateallowing her to view the form of players this weekend
in the Saintspremier one women?s tournament.  

On the men?s side of the competition defending champs Wellington
and lastseasons runners up Auckland have both named a full squad
and look strong.Wellington coach Wayne Saunders has stuck to
the winning formula fromlast year with the team to be led from
the mound by New Zealand CommunityTrust Black Sox pitchers Marty
Grant and Tane Richardson.

Auckland also have the fire power to challenge for the title
again withinternational class pitchers such as Thomas Cameron
and Heinie Shannon tolead the way backed up by class players
like Taifau Matai, Roman Gabriel,Nathan Nukunuku and Lyndon Andrew.

North Harbour and Central Vikings have each named eight players
and lookto have strengthened their teams from last season. North
Harbour haspicked up NZCT Black Sox captain Jarrad Martin to
handle the pitchingduties. Central Vikings on the other hand
have gained pitcher Hone MarkSinnot from Hutt Valley while Black
Sox catcher Bevan Martin will play afull role in the team on
the diamond rather than coaching as he did lastseason.

Southern Pride are in the unenviable position of having to go
the playerdraft for both of their pitchers but coach Glen Roff
named 10 protectedplayers today with the majority of them having
past National Leagueexperience behind them.

Joining Southern Pride in the search for a pitcher will be Hutt
Valleywho has named 10 protected players today but no pitchers.


Coaches who still need athletes to complete their squads will
go theplayer draft in Wellington next weekend where the final
selections willbe made. 

Key players likely to be chased include NZCT White Sox players
MalemeWilliams and Ngamoko Hiku while in the men?s league NZCT
Black Sox hurlerMichael Gaiger will catch the eye of coaches
looking for a pitcher.

The 2005/06 National League will get underway on November 19th
with threeweekends of round robin play ahead of the finals series
to be held inWellington on December 18th and 19th.

The Orr Park Knights have combined teams with a few players from the NY Bombers.  The Knights will make a run at the ISCII TOC with a great group of guys.  Bob Weaver (Manager) and Paul Harris (Coach) are very excited about the upcoming season and think this is the best team they've put together since the TOC started in '02.

Dropped Third Strike - An Explanation
by Jim Williamson
jrwilliamson (at) foodfacility.com

I asked a former Major League pitcher about the origin of the Dropped Third
Strike rule while I was at the Diamond Backs Spring Training Camp for a Wood
Bat Baseball Tournament this past weekend.

He pointed out that the Original Knickerbocker RULES of BASEBALL - 1845 -
list Rule 5 as follows:

"Three balls being struck at and missed, and the last one caught, is a hand
out; if not caught, is considered fair, and the striker bound to run".

Subject: Elkland Fastpitch Team Off-Season Updates
Message-ID: <6.2.0.14.2.20051102151742.02b4a3e8@209.146.191.203>


Elkland, PA- The Elkland Fastpitch Team heads into this off-season with 
many facets of the team changing. The first change maybe in the name of the 
team due to new sponsorship. Elkland is currently trying to figure out 
which direction they would want to take in regards to sponsorship and may 
in fact have to give up their current team name in order to maintain 
existence. So stay tuned for more information on that front.

The 2nd major off-season move is the departure of first sacker/DH John Dry. 
Dry has decided to rejoin the Ricola Cough Drops, a team he played with 
during the 2002 and 2003 seasons. Dry spent two full seasons with Elkland, 
and leaves the team with 71 career game appearances, a .389 career Elkland 
batting average, and 10 homeruns and 59 RBI's in 203 career at-bats. 
Elkland has decided to counter the loss of John Dry with perhaps searching 
for a new leadoff hitter with speed, moving current Elkland leadoff hitter 
Bryan Miller down into the 3 or 4 spot in the order to use his power for 
more run production. Miller has hit 19 homeruns over the last two seasons 
for Elkland while batting out of the leadoff spot.

Finally Elkland has signed on two players for the 2006 season, infielder 
Mike Makoweic, and utility player AJ Oosterkamp. Makoweic played with the 
team in several tournaments in 2005, and will return as the teams third 
baseman. Oosterkamp will be just 19 years old next season, but already has 
two years experience in the Erie(PA) fastpitch league as a pitcher/position 
player. Oosterkamp will be the teams #3 pitcher, and also gives the team a 
player that can play a variety of positions in the field, as well as some 
speed off the bench. Elkland currently has 11 position players listed on 
its roster for the 2006 season.

Elkland posted a 33-10 record in 2005, and over the past 4 seasons, the 
team has a record of 108-72-4 (.587 winning percentage).

In 2006, the team hopes to maintain a 10-11 tournament schedule in 
PA/NY/Canada, and hopes for a return to the NAFA A-Major World Series. For 
more information regarding the Elkland Fastpitch Team, you can view the 
team website here:

Softball legend praised
Ex-teammates pay tribute to Peterson, who died Friday
by JIM LEITNER

Dubuque, IA
Fast-pitch softball fans would come from miles around just to see George
"Pete" Peterson get beat.
More often than not, Peterson disappointed them.
Peterson, who established himself as the dominant pitcher in the
tri-state area during the heyday of the sport, passed away last Friday
at the age of 74. He has been enshrined in the Dubuque, Kiwanis and Iowa
state Halls of Fame.
"Without a doubt, he was the best in this area," said Hank Wernke, who
played shortstop behind Peterson. "He was in a league all by himself.
There wasn't anybody in Dubuque near his caliber.
"Against the really good teams, like the ones we'd face at the world
tournament, he'd strike out eight or 10 a game. But, around here, he'd
strike out just about anybody. He'd give up a hit here and there, but if
he had a runner on third, that's when he really would bear down."
Peterson began pitching as an early teenager in the mid-1940s and
retired from the game in the early 1970s. In between, the soft-spoken
hurler used pinpoint control and command of three pitches to dominate on
the tri-state scene.
Pat Sullivan, who played in seven world tournaments during the eight
seasons he caught Peterson, said the ace pitcher was at his best in the
Kiwanis Tournament. Peterson won 70 consecutive games in winning the
event 15 straight years.
More than 4,000 fans saw the streak come to an end in 1969 at the old
Johnny Petrakis Park.
"They had to fly a pitcher in from California to beat him, and we only
lost, 2-1," said Sullivan, who has been the International Softball
Congress state commissioner for the past 26 years.
"He had great speed. He threw a rise, a drop and made you look foolish
with that change-up of his. He threw all of them really, really well.
You'd put the glove in a certain spot, and he'd hit it every time.
And he just hated to lose."
It didn't start out that way. Peterson struggled with his control as a
youngster but kept at it.
"He grew up in a big family, and they really didn't have much," Wernke
said. "Then he got a hold of softball and started throwing it and
throwing it and throwing it. He found his niche and worked at it until
he got really good at it."
Peterson pitched for John Deere, Lange Insurance, the Chateau,
McDonald's, Hilldale, Ready Mix, the Lux Club, Kopper-Schrader, Henry's
Drive In, the King of Clubs, Janlin and Whalen's during his
distinguished career.
"I played with him for 10 years, and we won state and went to the world
tournament nine times," said Pete Welbes, of the Dubuque Fast-pitch
Softball Hall of Fame, "and George deserved a lot of the credit. No
question, he was the best around here, and a lot of people thought he
was one of the best in the country, too."
Peterson worked at John Deere Dubuque Works for 30 years before retiring
in 1987.
"When he retired, he went out and bought a boat, and all he talked about
was walleye fishing," his wife, JoAnn Peterson, said. "He loved walleye
fishing about as much as he loved softball when he was playing."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sippel, Baytor and McMann to be inducted into ISF Hall of Fame
November 2nd, 2005

(Ottawa) Softball Canada is pleased to announce that Lori Sippel 
(Stratford, ON), Terry
Baytor (Brampton, ON) and Dale McMann (Prince George, BC) were all voted 
into the
International Softball Federation Hall of Fame. The vote took place at the 
ISF Congress
in Taiwan last weekend. The induction ceremony will take place on Canadian 
soil in 2006,
the location and date has not been determined yet.

Lori Sippel is arguably the most dominant softball pitcher in the history 
of Softball
Canada?s Women?s National Team program. Sippel joined the team in 1983 as a 
17 year old
and helped Canada defeat the USA for a gold medal at the 1983 Pan American 
Games. For
the next 15 years Sippel was the ace of Canada pitching staff including the 
Pan American
Games (1983, 1987, 1991), World Championships (1986, 1990, 1994, 1998) and 
the Olympic
Games (1996). Sippel also dominated on mound with club and university teams 
throughout
the 80s and 90s. Sippel ended her career following the 1998 World 
Championships. In her
final performance, she was nearly perfect pitching a 1-hit 1-0 victory over 
Italy to
secure a spot for Canada in the 2000 Olympics. Sippel has already been 
inducted into
Softball Canada?s and the University of Nebraska?s Halls of Fame and has 
had her jersey
(#16) retired from both institutions. Sippel currently lives in Lincoln 
Nebraska and is
the associate coach of the Nebraska Huskers and is the Head Coach of the 
Canadian
Women?s National Softball Team.

Terry Baytor, born in Montr?al, Quebec, was widely recognized as one of the 
most
successful softball coaches in the world. As Head Coach of Canada's Men's 
National Team,
he led his teams to gold medals at the 1992 World Championship and the 
1991, 1995 and
1999 Pan American Games. Terry also led the National Team to a World 
Championship Silver
Medal in 1996 and was assistant coach for two Pan American Games Gold 
Medals in 1983 and
1987. In 1992 he received the Coaching Association of Canada "Coach of the 
Year" award.
He was inducted into the Softball Canada Hall of Fame in 1997, as a member 
of the 1983
Pan Am Men's Team. He entered Softball Canada?s Hall of Fame as a coach in 
2001. In 2003
Terry's #18 jersey was retired by Softball Canada. Terry currently lives in 
Brampton,

I have often ranted about Softball Canada's lack of ability to communicate 
about the Men's game.
And this month holds another tale to tell.

It's amazing to me the Canadian Women's scores get on the net so quickly. 
The scores are posted against power houses from Western Kentucky Community 
College immediately.

The Around the Horn, Softball Canada's Newsletter to the masses was just 
issued. Finally I thought to myself, information about the Men's team. Do 
they have tryouts, what tourneys, exhibition games who, what where will 
they be playing etc. etc.

Well guess what, absolutely nothing. Oh that's not totally true Mark Smith 
will be briefing the Softball Canada members at the AGM in Montreal next week.

Oh yes, rule changes and policy's. The Senior Men's Championship Hosting 
fees are going up to $40,000. the Junior Men's is going up also. This is to 
compensate for the loss in revenues from the Women's and Junior hosting 
fees that are going down to $6000.

Oh and Softball Canada will be using (If it goes through) the ASA bat specs 
when the whole men's nation uses the ISF/ISC specs.

Well fans, things are looking up, Saskatoon will be hosting the ISF Men's 
in 2009. I know that they will do a great job. Just think only 4 more years 
to the next men's press release.

Message-ID: <6.2.0.14.2.20051104113950.02baa938@209.146.191.203>



Elkland, PA- Yeah it is the boring fastpitch off-season, so I put together 
a page on our Elkland Fastpitch Team website for players and fans to vote 
for the 2005 Team MVP of our team. I thought it would at least give you 
guys something new to look at on a fastpitch website. I know, I know, I 
have way too much time on my hands.

Here is the link to the Team MVP Poll page: 
<http://eteamz.active.com/Elklandfastpitchteam/news/index.cfm?cat=236169>http://eteamz.active.com/Elklandfastpitchteam/news/index.cfm?cat=236169 


I am hoping for at least 150 votes between now and the end of the year. You 
can vote as many times as you want to. There are photos and brief bios of 
each player on the poll that you can see as you scroll down the page.

The Elkland Fastpitch Team is a NAFA A-Major Class team from Elkland, 
Pennsylvania. In 2005, the team compiled an overall record of 33-10 on the 
season, while competing against teams from 11 different states as well as 8 
different teams from Canada.

Changes Coming to I.S.C. for 2006 Season

There will be some changes in place for the 2006 fastball season in I.S.C. 
competition.

In actions taken by the International Softball Congress Board of Directors 
when they met in August in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, several different areas 
of regulations were addressed.  Among the changes were:

ISC AREA DEFINITIONS - - a new list is displayed on the ISC Web Site at 
<http://www.iscfastpitch.com/webstart/forms/ardef.htm>http://www.iscfastpitch.com/webstart/forms/ardef.htm 
 From the front page of the ISC Web Site, click on Rules & Form.  States 
and Areas affected include:  California; Nevada; Colorado; New Mexico; 
Arizona; Canada West; Minnesota; Wisconsin; Illinois; and Northern 
Illinois.  Generally, the changes liberalize and expand areas.  Area 
Definitions are the responsibility of the affected Area 
Commissioners.  This same document will appear in the 2006 ISC Guide to be 
published in next spring.

ISC-II TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS ENTRY FEES - - Beginning in 2006, entry fees 
are:  $250 for Area and Travel League Champions and $300 for Host Team, 
Defending Champ, Runner Up, and any invited teams.

PLAYER HARDSHIP REQUESTS - - Requests are to be sent to the appropriate ISC 
Area or Travel League Commissioner who will approve or disapprove before 
sending it on to the ISC Executive Director.

PARTICIPANTS OWING ISC, COMMISSIONERS, OR TEAM SPONSORS - - No one will be 
allowed to participate in ISC programs if they owe any money, equipment, or 
other property belonging to the ISC, its Commissioners, or Team Sponsors.

OUT OF AREA PITCHER DECLARATION - - All teams will be required to declare 
their OOA pitchers by August 1.  If a team(s) have more than two (2) OOA 
pitchers, the additional pitcher(s) will be released if the pitcher(s) so 
requests, and he may then be picked up by another team.

ISC President, Dick Mason, observed that, "These changes, some rather 
minor, some not so minor, will have the effect of addressing some topics 
which have been sort of hanging around and needed clarification."

The issue of PRAWN players was addressed and the results of a vote taken 
later in the fall was previously announced.

The Introduction to Competition context will be a blend of Level 1 and 2
Technical and Theory.  The coaches must participate in both weekends and
have an On Field Evaluation completed (at a later date)in order to be
certified in Introduction to Competition.  These weekends will involve the
training of coaches in a competency based approach.

  We require a minimum 10 coaches for the pilot to be properly evaluated by
Softball Ontario.  The coaches should be coaching in the 11-14 year old
group.  It doesn't matter if the coaches have taken any previous NCCP
courses.  For participating in this two weekend process and completing an On
Field Evaluation at a later date.  The coach will be fully certified at
Level 1 and Level 2 in the old NCCP which is equivalent in to Introduction
Competition context in the new NCCP.


Time Requirements

Please note that you are in the classroom 50 % less of the time!  In the old
NCCP, you would have taken 4 weekends to complete your certification.  In
the new NCCP it only takes two weekends and On-Field Evaluation.

November 7, 2005
Orillia, Ontario, Canada

After a thorough review of the 2005 Casino Rama World Series of fastball by 
the organizing committee, I am pleased to announce that the 9th edition of 
the Annual Casino Rama World Series of Fastball will take place in Orillia, 
Ontario, Canada on the weekend of July 13th to 16th, 2006.

The organizing committee is now hard at work planning the 2006 
tournament.  We hope to continue the "Bruce Beirman" Junior division that 
was started in 2005 and we will announce the details of that in the coming 
weeks.  There will be some changes in the over-all operation of the 
tournament and events surrounding it.

Over the next few months when we are all wishing for spring and the start 
to a new fastball season the Casino Rama World Series Organizing Committee 
will be working hard to make sure the 2006 tournament tops last years.  As 
soon as details are finalized I will get news out to Al's list so that 
everyone knows what is happening.

We are also working on locating the teams that may be interested in either 
the junior division or the senior tournament.  If your team is interested 
in participating in the 2006 Casino Rama World Series of Fastball please 
send me an email with all your contact information and your team's 
roster.  The Casino Rama World Series is an invitational tournament and we 
usually make decisions and try to get the invitations out prior to the end 
of December.  If your team is interested in one of those invitations please 
let me know as soon as possible.

Owen Sound Selects Hall of Fame
November 8, 2005
Selects Long time President Bill Simpson
by Fred Wallace



The Owen Sound Selects Fastball organization will be heading to Montreal 
this weekend to be inducted into the Canadian Amateur Softball Hall of Fame.

Long time Selects President Bill Simpson relates the induction is both 
humbling and gratifying.

Simpson says the induction is a great reward to a group of hard working 
volunteers who established and maintained a highly competitive team in Owen 
Sound for decades.

Through the years, the Owen Sound club has been known as " King Farms ", 
the " Canadian Tiremen " and finally the Selects.

While Owen Sound has enjoyed success under each moniker, the Selects 
specifically are being honored for winning the Canadian Championship on 3 
occasions.

The Selects won the 2000 Championship at Saskatoon, the 2002 Championship 
at Winnipeg and then defended the title winning the 2003 Canadian 
Championship at Duncan McLellan Park in Owen Sound.

Ironically, the 2003 Championship was the final appearance by the Selects 
as the team folded before the 2004 fastball season and has not returned.

Simpson hinted an I.S.C, team may be operated out of Owen Sound in 2006, 
but admits he would not be a part of that organization.



The full interview with Bill Simpson is being aired today on 560 CFOS 
between noon & 1 pm.

The interview will air again on Saturday morning between 10 and 11 am.

Oshawa,ON


The Durham Lords Women's Collegiate Fastball team won silver on October 
20-23 at the 2005 OCAA Women's Fastball Championships in Hamilton, at 
Mohawk Sports Park hosted by Mohawk College.  On their way to their silver 
medal performance; the Lords completed their third straight perfect 12-0 
regular season, Durham captured the regular season pennant for the ninth 
consecutive season, and it was the program?s ninth consecutive Championship 
medal finish and 18th in 19 seasons.

The Lords also earned some individual hardware, as the OCAA Women?s 
Fastball Championship Awards Banquet was part of the festivities over the 
weekend.  Unbelievably, Coach Jim Nemish (17th season) was named OCAA Coach 
of the Year for just the second time in his illustrious 17-year OCAA career 
(2000 Coach of the Year).

Assistant coach, Rosemary Theriault (3rd Season) said it best, ?Finally, 
it?s amazing when you think that Jim has been coaching in this league for 
17 years and has won a medal every year but one.?  Nemish, was quick to 
pass on the accolades to his staff, ?It?s nice to finally get some 
recognition for all of the hard work of all of our coaches ? I share it 
with them because we work together, we?re a team?.  His resume speaks for 
itself, including 265 career OCAA wins, 16 medal finishes in 17 seasons and 
a 56 game conference unbeaten streak.

Not to be outdone, Jim?s players; shortstop Kristy Kelly (3rd Year Nursing) 
and centre fielder Kathy Glen (1st Year Dental Reception) were selected as 
OCAA League All-Stars, while Kristy also took home the OCAA batting title, 
and the title of OCAA Top Hitter.  She batted .467 with 14 hits, 12 runs 
scored and 10 RBIs in 30 plate appearances.

?I was happy with the year I had,? said Kristy Kelly.  ?I just tried to 
stay focused and hit the ball hard, and having all my teammates cheering me 
on always helped?.

Decatur Withdraws as 2007 ISC Host

After being awarded the 2007 ISC World Tournament and ISC ? II Tournament 
of Champions, the Decatur Sports Foundation became aware of issues which 
may have jeopardized their ability to host quality ISC 
Tournaments.  According to ISC Executive Director, Ken Hackmeister, ?we 
have been in communication with them the past several weeks, seeing what 
options might be available to allow Decatur to retain and conduct our 2007 
championship tournaments.?

Unfortunately, it was felt by both Decatur Sports Foundation and the ISC 
that in the best interests of all concerned, it would be best for Decatur 
to withdraw from hosting the tournaments in 2007.  This withdrawal is 
mutually agreeable with both entities, and the ISC has given Decatur Sports 
Foundation encouragement to bid for future ISC tournaments.

The Decatur withdrawal letter states:

?Due to unforeseen issues after our successful bid on the 2007 World 
Tournament and ISC-II Tournament of Champions, the Decatur Sports 
Foundation regretfully must rescind their bid.  The Decatur Sports 
Foundation looks forward to bidding again in the future.?

We sincerely thank Decatur Sports Foundation for taking a professional and 
objective approach to this difficult decision, and we welcome a future bid 
from them.

The ISC plans to announce a new host city for 2007 later in November.

"Choice, not chance, determines one's destiny....."
--unknown

I'm looking forward to joining forces with classy Kyle Beane (and one of 
the Major game's top sluggers) & The Midland Men in Orlando at Disney in 
January of 2006.  Alex Linares & Ken Hackmeister truly put on one of the 
finest men's open fastball tourneys known to the sport.  Disney, known for 
its kooky fantastical characters, clears the decks for some hard-core 
spikes-up reality action when the men's fastball teams come to town from 
all over the hemisphere.

Quality always speaks for itself, doesn't it?  Witness the fact that Disney 
has become the second-largest men's open fastball tourney in the 
world.  Some of the finest umpires in the game, such as Brian Sharples all 
the way down from Canada, make it a point to journey to Orlando, often at 
their own expense, in order to "see the good stuff" and fine-tune their 
game before the Major circuit commences.   The reality, the truth.

"En su equipo de beisbol es la verdad."
-- roughly translated, from the Spanish:  within your baseball team you 
will find the truth.

One of my finest memories is of our initial foray into the Dominican 
Republic.  Courtesy of Frankie Perez, one of the classiest ballplayers 
ever, FedLock had the opportunity to compete against the Dominican National 
Team.  Frankie took care of us, and I will always remember his actions as 
one of the true statesmen of the game.  My original report may still be on 
the superb fastpitch site, <http://www.fastpitchwest.com>www.fastpitchwest.com.

Ball teams from around North America and the Carribbean and Latin America 
and South America will present a spicy international flavor to the AAU 
gig.  It's always a classic match-up to see a steely-eyed, grimly quiet 
Canada-based team square off against one of the chatty, boisterous South 
American teams with their raucous, drum-beating South American fans.  The 
game is always intense & beautiful.  The opponents have completely 
different styles of play that make for a fascinating war of cultures, a 
strong-arm contest of the minds, the game within the game, and yet each is 
playing the game as they know how, with all that they have.  "Leave 
everything that you've got on the field" rings crystal clear.

Several FedLock vets, and previous Orlando champions with FedLock, will be 
joining up with our "conglomerate" in Orlando.  Paul Walford and Kenny 
Coles are making the trek, specifically to be with the fellas 
again.  Walford and Coles, two of the most passionate ballplayers ever to 
lace 'em up & run rampant in a ballyard.  And I'm fortunate indeed to see 
'em staring hard at me from the batter's box, waiting for a sign, then 
stepping in and swingin' some serious metal.

In a tourney now in the past, FedLock won the Orlando event with a similar 
motley crew of ballplayers.  Lineup cards were sent in on the backs of 
ripped up softball boxes.  Caps were $ 3.00 models of tackiness with 
disco-gold initials emblazoned on the front.  Jerseys?  Oh, no:  tee shirts 
that didn't make it through the weekend.  And a 55 year old pitcher with 10 
stitches in his chin gutted it out to pitch the final game to win it.  I 
recall that team with great fondness, because it exemplified what the game 
is about.  Great FedLock pitching in the form of Gerald Muizelaar, Brian 
Urquhart, and Ricky Plangger.  Wild & effective coaching from Nick 
McCurry.  Great defense.  And a mixed motley lineup that went out there & 
played the game.


"Problems can not be solved at the same level of awareness that created them."
--  Albert Einstein

Ah, the game of fastball.  You think you're playing a game.  And one day 
you look around and you realize the thing is inside you.  Sometimes, it's 
not only inside you, hell, you realize that it has become you.

It can be unnerving that way.  One wonders what has happened, what has 
changed, has anything changed at all, what matters other than one's team, 
the dedication the passion, the fear and the glory.  That glory that is so 
rare.  Doesn't matter that crowds have diminished, doesn't matter that the 
game's caretakers have fumbled the legacy so badly, doesn't matter that the 
media doesn't even know about these superb ballplayers on several continents.

It's all about your guys, really, the ones who take up the cudgels of the 
sport, who take the ball, exhausted, again and again.  Because it ain't 
about all that hype & beer tent yakkety yak.  It's about your mates and 
that's it.  And very, very few people understand that.  Your wife, as much 
as she claims to know you, may not understand the powerful forces that the 
team will always be in your life.

Ah, yeah, riding into Fargo, North Dakota on a late summer's night, a van 
load full of Americans, Kiwis, Canadians, black guys, white dudes, 
Christian, Jewish, you name it, something on the sound system that everyone 
is singing along with, happy to be alive, happy to be together with men who 
they know they can depend on, going to the Worlds.  For many fastball 
players the ultimate achievement just to take the field at The Show.

A sidelight:  For years, two of my guys on FedLock were Kenny Coles (2b) & 
Chop Brewer (book).  Both originally from inner-city Washington, DC.  And I 
had a couple guys from New Zealand on my team, Darren "The Chicken" 
Davies  and Gareth Cook.  All four cats, total class guys.  And when these 
guys first encountered each other , they literally could not understand 
each other.

All of them spoke English, sure, but black American English and Kiwi 
English were from different zones.   But.  These guys found their own 
solutions.  Until they could figure out what the other was saying, which 
took weeks, they just smiled at each other & said "ok, bro!" or "yah, 
mate!"  It was quite an interesting experience to see the American guys 
explaining the meaning of "bro" and the Kiwis in turn explaining "mate."

Watching a bunch of guys from different cultures, as vastly different as 
you could possibly imagine, start to work it out with each other in the 
course of a season, forging bonds that will last lifetimes, knowing in 
their gut the power of it all............. but not ever acknowledging what 
it really means................ probably not realizing what it all meant 
until they get older someday......

............later, sitting, in the quiet moments......... you may think 
about that guy you were teammates with long ago, and how powerful that was, 
how it was the truth, the most valid thing you'd ever encountered in a 
lifetime spent struggling to make it, to be who you are, in a world where 
you never really know who you can count on.  Nowadays, you just never 
really know, do you?  Yet, there was a time when you did.  In a 
ballyard.  And only you know it, only you know what that truly meant.

Life.

And all of its heartbreaks.  And disappointments.  And quiet joy.

You always discover a man's true character on something that provokes 
extremes.  On a ballfield one can always see heart.  Or lack 
thereof.  Players who play "through" pain.  Ah, what a crock, no one ever 
plays through pain, it's breaking the guy down every minute, and yet he 
wants so badly to keep going, until he has to be dragged from the 
field.  What defines incredible champions when the mind & the heart 
overwhelm the body's pain ?  Jody Hennigar in St Joe, 2001, inning after 
inning in 110 degree plus heat until he literally had to be carted off in 
an ambulance.  Gareth Cook, ignoring a severe quadriceps tear to go 11 for 
11 in Waterloo with 3 home runs, and play the field without uttering a word 
of complaint.  The list of warrior / ballplayers is endless.  "Just tape me 
up, I ain't sitting out, get me out there with the fellas."  These are the 
warriors.

Ah, yes.  I've always been impressed with the intangibles of the game.  We 
(FedLock) were in Orillia one year when one of our American outfielders 
just tore up his back.  Couldn't play, could barely walk, in extreme 
pain.  Paul Barnetson, the Orillia Gem, asked a local doctor to look at our 
guy.  It turns out that the doc was not your average bones.  He was advisor 
to the Canadian Olympic Team.  And he not only takes care of our guy, he 
stops by the hotel to see how our guy is doing.  And provides extra 
treatments for the entire weekend that we are in Orillia.  What I've come 
to tell people is typical Canadian hospitality for guests.  Stunning for an 
American observer, I must say.

Another intangible:  Matt Birmingham, broadcasting game after game for 
Porcelli's teams.  Thankless, endless tasks.  Putting his words out into 
the air, not knowing if 10 or 10,000 are listening.  Doing it every time, 
for the love of it and because he believes in what he is doing.  The 
intangibles of the game.  Endless.........

Endless.  One hopes, eh?  One hopes for endless memories...

Fastball.  Fastpitch.  It's hard to explain, some people say, how the game 
gets hold of you. But I always say, nah mon......it's not hard to explain 
at all.  Anyone who has a competitive bone in his body, and passion, and an 
understanding of this thing called Life........they get it.  They 
know.  Deep down, in the gut, they know.  Even as winter sweeps over the 
North American landscape, they intuitively understand.  You step back and 
you close your eyes and you remember and you know........you do know..........

So there you have it, something that I've been mulling over for a long 
time.  Many more thoughts, but perhaps another time, eh, somewhere down the 
road?

If you've read this far, I commend you.......

Regards,

Mike

I guess the only thing I want to set straight is the motion to go to the ASA
Bat Standard 2004. At the 2005 Softball Canada Sr. men's Championships the
Miken!! was used because the ISF allows it. The bat brought back HRs in
abundance. Players and coaches said it should not be used. The move to the
ASA standard is because they have a testing standards while ISF does not.
They rely on the manufacturer. The ISC and the ASA use the same Bat Standard
so it puts us in line with both organizations. I would think that is a good
thing considering a lot of our teams play ISC.



As for news about the Men's game it is pretty hard to have good news when
the sport was taken out of the pan American games. Next year would have been
the Qualifier but that is not going ahead at this point. The National team
program is in holding pattern. There is to be a Commonwealth Games in
Australia but that trip could cost $100,000 and with Government cut backs I
do not see that happening. SC like other Canadian Sports organizations
relies on government funding as teams contribute nothing to the organization
other than the Province affiliation fees. In BC that is approximately $
10,000 which works out to maybe $5.00 per team, likely less. The women's
team gets more funding because of its Olympic status. I do not question
raising fees for the Men's and cannot confirm that motion passed. The fees
have been charged and there always are bidders. This past year the St.
Thomas organization that did a great job made over $100,000 in profit. They
did a great job and reaped the benefit. As for the women's suggestion to
lower the amount you need only look at the fact SC has no host for next
years event. Do something like lower the hosting fee or do not hold the
event. One can be facetious and criticize but if Tom thinks the members of
SC are sitting around doing nothing he is sadly mistaking. Every
organization is having difficulties. ISC II is growing but only at the
expense of other organizations. I am not sure they are building new teams.
The pie is shrinking and just being divided up in a different way. My turn

Brian

The ISC uses the ISF bat standards, NOT the ASA. So, contrary to your 
assertion, Softball Canada is now NOT in alignment with the premier men's 
fastball organization in North America. A simpler solution would have been 
to change the official ball to one with a different core (albeit one with 
the same C.O.R.). This seemingly makes much more fiscal sense than banning 
expensive bats in which teams and players may have already made a 
significant investment. Conversely, most teams and/or leagues buy their 
balls in the off season and can place their orders accordingly.

Secondly, I take issue with your assertion that the ISC II is growing "only 
at the expense of other organizations".
NAFA AA recently completed a 29-team tournament, while NAFA A Major and 
NAFA A had a combined total of 81 teams. ASA B & C had a combined 111 
teams. The Western Canadians Senior B tournament remains a vital and strong 
8-team tournament. The Eastern Canadians had either 7 or 8 teams in each of 
their three divisions.

Please tell me which of these organizations, in your view, is suffering due 
to ISC II.
In fact, with the advent of ISC II, I will point to renewed interest among 
intermediate level players throughout Ontario, in New York and 
Pennsylvania, Ohio and California, in Saskatchewan and Alberta, and now in 
Atlantic Canada. Canadian teams and players which have never had a true 
national (or international) championship at their level now have something 
to continue to play for. Players who may have left the game are staying 
put. Players who had left are returning to play.

If there is to be growth in the men's game, it will be at this level and 
hopefully some of these teams will take the next step up to the ISC/senior 
ranks.

Best regards,

Blair Setford

Brian,

Thank you for a little input of what is going on at Softball Canada.
As my opening line stated, Softball Canada does nothing to communicate 
about the Men's game.

It's been almost a month now and you are the first to let it be known to 
the public that the Pan Am qualifier was cancelled. Now if you can help, 
Softball Canada members* have asked what the player pool is so that they 
can start planning the 2006 season.

All this is the type of info and communication that I feel is lacking from 
Softball Canada.

Brian your quote "One can be facetious and criticize but if Tom thinks the 
members of
SC are sitting around doing nothing he is sadly mistaking".

This is not what I wrote in the "Rant" , Brian, but having said that, I 
believe that the model for success of SC is outdated. When things were 
good, the money rolled in no problems. When things are bad you blame 
governments and sponsors.

Has Softball Canada thought of a Canada wide marketing blitz to reprofile 
our sport, tell the public who have not known about the sport in the last 
20 years of decrease of participation, the benefits of the game?
I can pick up any newspaper at the start of the season and see ads for 
Lacrosse, Ball Hockey and Touch Football provided by the Sport Body's. 
These are the sports we now compete at getting our athlete's from.

Finally Brian, please answer why Women's scores are announced immediately 
and we have to fight to get Men's scores as in last summers World Juniors 
exhibition series. Why in the Softball Newsletter it headed National Teams 
and all that was written was about the women's side. You cherry picked the 
easy answers but did not say anything about the real drift of the story, 
communication.

Communicate and Market to new members. It could be a tough job but with a 
plan I am sure we could all follow it. (More Members=More Dollars)

(* also I believe Softball Canada Members are you ,I and the other 
Canadians that have the sport in our interest)
Always a pleasure yacking with you Brian.

Yucaipa,CA.

The Casa Trejo Southern California Bombers would like to get some feed back 
on any teams that would like to come to Palm Springs, CA  in the month of 
May 2006 for a money tournament. The tournament would be held two weeks 
after Red Rock in the beautiful city of Palm Springs, CA. where we would 
play 2 or 4 games Friday night and end early Sunday. We have access to 4 
quality fields. What we would like to do is have 12 team format with 
$2500.00 1st place, $1500.00 2nd place, $500.00 3rd place. This of course 
would be adjusted if we only get 10 teams. Entry fee would be $400.00. We 
would like to draw some of the top teams from around the country back to 
California, and in May there is so much for the families to do in Palm 
Springs, they have Golf, Water Parks, Casino's and Casino Resorts and some 
of the best restaurants around.

Defending champs looking for more success
Wednesday November 16th 2005

Just seven months after claiming their first New Zealand Community Trust 
Men's National League title Wellington are looking to do it all again when 
the competition gets underway this weekend.

Wellington coach Wayne Saunders has retained the majority of the winning 
team from last year with the only alterations being the loss of NZCT Black 
Sox captain Jarrad Martin to North Harbour and Corey Matakatea who is out 
with injury. Joining the team are NZCT Black Sox pitcher Tane Richardson 
and former Canterbury representative Todd Grego.

Given the star names amongst his squad of 14 and the high quality of 
players it will be a tough ask for Saunders to cut the names down to a 
starting nine but he admits it is a nice problem to have.

"It is a whole new tournament this year, I don't see it as us defending 
something we are going out there to win a new one," said Saunders.

Wellington opens their campaign this weekend at Rosedale Park, North 
Harbour with double headers against the home side and Central Vikings. A 
key feature of the North Harbour team is the introduction of NZCT Black Sox 
captain Jarrad Martin who led Wellington to the title last season.

"Any side that Jarrad is in seems to do well and I think he is going to 
make a big difference to the North Harbour team. But for us it is not about 
focusing on one person we want to focus more on our game and making sure we 
do the little things right then the results will come at the end of the day."

Saunders is predicting a far tougher and more even national league 
competition this season commenting that with no Canterbury team many of 
those quality players have been spread amongst the other teams.

"I think teams like Central Vikings and Southern Pride are going to be a 
lot stronger than last year and it is going to be a very tough competition 
with just the cream of the crop playing, so no team can take anything for 
granted," said Saunders.


In other opening round match ups this weekend last years runners up 
Auckland take on Central Vikings and North Harbour as well while a 
strengthened Southern Pride team host Hutt Valley at Surrey Park in 
Invercargill.

Saturday November 19th

Auckland side hoping to get to the church on time
Thursday November 17th 2005

With the first week of the New Zealand Community Trust women's National 
League gets underway this weekend Auckland coach Nardi Leonard is facing 
two challenges,

While preparing her team for the task of taking on Wellington and Southern 
Pride Leonard is also trying ensuring everyone makes it to the softball's 
wedding of the year when NZCT White Sox outfielder Kalala Faalogo marries 
NZCT Black Sox world champion Roman Gabriel.

Leonard says all her team have been invited to the wedding and expects 
there will be a mad rush from the diamond to the celebrations on Saturday.

"We have talked about the wedding as a team and while we all realise it is 
a really big day in Auckland softball we also have a job to do out on the 
diamond. Both Kalala and Roman understand that and they would expect us to 
go out there and do the business," said Leonard.

Regardless of the excitement surrounding the wedding Leonard says her team 
is focussed on success in the national league this season after 
disappointing performances last year saw them miss out on a top four finals 
spot.

"For me as a coach I was really disappointed with our effort last season 
but when I analyse it I can't put my finger on any one thing that didn't go 
right but it comes down to the coach.

"The hard word has been put on all my players this season and no one can 
turn up and just expect to play while a lot of the team also have their own 
personal goals with the world champs next year in mind," said Leonard.

Key figures in any return to form for the Auckland team this season is 
going to be the performance of key players such as NZCT White Sox pitcher 
Carina Hale, White Sox captain Fiona Timu and international infielder 
Talilotu Tonu'u.

Auckland will play double headers against Southern Pride and Wellington 
this season and on paper they look to be the stronger team and should come 
away with the results Leonard is looking for.

In other first round games this weekend Wellington and Southern Pride will 
also face off while defending champions Hutt Valley will begin the defence 
of their title with two away games against Central Vikings at Akina Park, 
Hastings.


Saturday November 19th

1.00pm  Hutt Valley  v Central Vikings, Akina Park, Hastings.
1.00pm  Auckland v Wellington, Norana Ave Ballpark, Auckland.
3.00pm  Hutt Valley v Central Vikings, Akina Park, Hastings.
3.00pm  Southern Pride  v Auckland, Norana Ave Ballpark, Auckland.
5.00pm  Wellington v Southern Pride, Norana Ave Ballpark, Auckland.

Vancouver, BC

The Vancouver Grey Sox are pleased to announce the signings of Derek Mayson 
and Brian Banner for the 2006 season.

Derek Mayson, a resident of North Vancouver, BC was the top batter at the 
2005 Canadian Junior Nationals, before joining the Grey Sox as a pick-up 
for the Senior Men's Nationals in St. Thomas, Ontario. Derek was very 
steady in his first appearance at the Senior Nationals, where he landed a 
spot in the heart of the batting order. Mayson, who is a pitcher along with 
being an accomplished
infielder and dangerous hitter, is expected to provide depth and balance to 
the 2006 Grey Sox squad.

Brian Banner, a resident of Victoria, BC, was a member of the 2005 Western 
Canadian Senior B Champions, Victoria Central Nine.  In 2004 Banner suited 
up with the Victoria Travellers Inn team. A catcher, Banner is also being 
looked at to provide depth to the Grey Sox in the upcoming season.

Grey Sox Field Manager John Stuart commented on the signings: Adding young 
quality players such as Derek Mayson and Brian Banner should improve our 
team and give us more options for our lineup in 2006. I know both of these 
young men quite well and have been impressed by their proven abilities, 
commitment and passion for the game, and I look forward to having them with 
our squad on a full-time basis next season.

For those not familiar with tidbits, its ballyard rumours, nothing
more. Maybe no fact here at all, but same kind of stories you hear in the
ballpark. Only those mentioned can confirm or deny these stories,
and traditionally they tell us nada, or hardly ever, but they can
straighten the story out any time.

We should add that there are guidelines for posting to the list and for
submitting TidBits, see them at:
http://www.alsfastball.com/webstart/news1.htm



Subscribers tell me that TidBits is the most read and most popular of all 
the items we send out to our subscriber list.

I am going to take advantage of that fact and ask that all subscribers take 
note that eScribe is still down, has been since about day two of the ISC's 
in Eau Claire, but we never missed a beat, thanks to Saint James of 
FastpitchWest.com, our good friend Jim Flanagan has provided us with an 
excellent back up site with http://fastpitchwest.com/alsfastball

This is the time of the year when there is more talk than actual news, but 
since this is all we have for the news starved fans, here we go  - and 
maybe just maybe the team organizers will let us know what is going on - 
informally or otherwise!

TidBits from Wisconsin:

Miljavac and LaLonde to Patsy's
Ethier sticking with Aspen
Folkard to Townline/Shoots
Muizelaar to Patsy's

Circle Tap on a major recruiting campaign.


 From elsewhere in the mid-west:

Juna Pottolichio returning to Aurora D&M Shamrocks.
Aurora also replacing Tom Crouch (Gone to CTap) with
DJ Cochs (ATMI) and PJ McKinney (formerly of
Richwrap).  Richwrap (Elburn-ISC II) looking for
pitcher for the upcoming season. Possibly someone to
relocate and live in area.

NAFA World Series to coincide with Womens Pro League
Championships which will also be in Kimberly.

Karl Gollan to Midland Explorers

Tim Jacobs back to Quad City Sox from Rockford
Blackhawk

Quinton Matzner to IS Knights


And from Ontario:

Many players looking to play at home in 2006, partly due to "tired of 
travel"; WT in Kitchener in August; and, the opportunity may be there with 
some local teams trying their best to hang onto the local talent.

Jarvis hanging onto their big gun in spite of some tempting big dollars 
being thrown in the direction of Andrew Phipps to go south. He and his 
catcher brother are hanging tough with Jarvis - that's loyalty.

Not so it seems with two of their Jarvis team mates, although Pat Graham 
and Ian Fehrman are headed north, and still in the province, but leaving 
their team a bit short. Graham was the first ever player approved by the 
league to play his league games at home in Jarvis and still hold an ISC 
card with another team - he played in WT in 2005 with RiverSharks... who 
are part of the Ontario team it seems, but more on that later. Watch for 
Ryan Thompson and John Brunton to join up with Jarvis for the year as well. 
Also rumours of a major coaching change in Jarvis, a big name we all know 
and watch for Adam Smith to become a playing coach. Also, Graham will be 
with the team for the Canadians. Maybe he can be talked into staying with 
the home team for ISC play as well. Its not over yet.

The Six Nations (Ohsweken, ON) Chiefs had Darren Zack in 2005 for league 
play but he was with his Wisconsin team for most of the season and ended up 
not playing in the WT, much to the great regret of the fans who had hoped 
to see him play in Eau Claire. In 2006 Darren will be with the Chiefs all 
year so look forward to seeing him where ever the Chiefs go. Watch for a 
number of Newfoundlanders to be on this team, players we saw in Frankenmuth 
in 2005.

There will be another senior team in 2006 out of Ohsweken, ON as well, the 
Red Men. Watch for Mike Joseph on this new team.

The team everyone is talking about is not formalized yet but soon should 
be, and will probably play out of Owen Sound.
The Owen Sound Select River Shark Smokers, or some derivation as Owen Sound 
was most recently connected with the Selects (and don't forget the Crunch), 
but the major influence of this new team will be Bob Nydick's River Sharks. 
But do not count out Peter J. Porcelli, II of the Smokers, etc. he is 
rumoured to be with the team as a consultant.

So who is with this team?  Good question, but this is what our cub 
reporters tell us:

Management:

Dennis Bruckert, head coach - late of Circle Tap
Bob Nydick, general manager - late of River Sharks
Peter J. Porcelli, II, consultant/coach - late of Calgary Diamonds

Pitching Staff:

Frank Cox - late of Calgary Diamonds
Rob O'Brien - late of Circle Tap
Michael White - late of Moorhead Imaging Solution Knights

Other players:

Sean O'Brien
Mike Taylor
Pat Graham
Ian Fehrman
Dan Loney

This is sure to change, or at least a lot more names to be added.

While many have told me where the 2007 ISC World Tournament will be played 
(now that Decatur is out of the picture) do not book your hotel yet, wait 
for the official announcement, there is lots of time left. But do book your 
hotel for 2006, the WT is definitely in Kitchener next August.  Watch for 
the official announcement on the new host for 2007 in about a week or so.

Yes, more tidbits are welcome.

REMEMBER:

For those not familiar with tidbits, its ballyard rumours, nothing
more. Maybe no fact here at all, but same kind of stories you hear in the
ballpark. Only those mentioned can confirm or deny these stories,
and traditionally they tell us nada, or hardly ever, but they can

Upsets in men?s National League
Saturday November 19th 2005

It has been a tough start to the New Zealand Community Trust men?s National 
League for two time champions Auckland who suffered double defeat today at 
Rosedale Park, North Harbour today.

In an upset for the form book North Harbour defeated Auckland 4-2 before 
Central Vikings continued the misery for Auckland with a 3-0 win.

Against North Harbour the home side were the dominant team as they out hit 
Auckland 8-4 and made it count when it really mattered. North Harbour 
scored the wining runs in the seventh inning off the bats of Scott Higgins 
and Orlando Rodriguez.

After taking the advantage in the top of the seventh inning North Harbour 
held strong in the bottom of the inning with NZCT Black Sox pitcher Jarrad 
Martin denying the Auckland hitters picking up two strikeouts to take out 
the game.

Later in the day it was much the same story for Auckland as Central Vikings 
took the early advantage and refused to give it up. Central Vikings scored 
their first run in their opening at bat and then added another two in the 
second inning.

Auckland who is usually so strong with the bat had no answers as they 
managed only two hits and no runs. Central Vikings were led on the mound by 
pitcher Hone Mark Sinnott who took seven strikeouts in the game.

In other men?s National League games today the power hitters in the 
Wellington team have been working overtime with a hard hitting 7-1 win over 
Central Vikings followed by an 11-1 victory over the home side North Harbour.

NEW ZEALAND COMMUNITY TRUST MEN?S NATIONAL LEAGUE RESULTS:
Saturday November 19th ?
North Harbour 4 Auckland 2, Wellington 7 Central Vikings 1, Central Vikings 
3 Auckland 0, Wellington 11 North Harbour 1.

Southern Pride makes a statement in the opening weekend
Sunday November 20th 2005

A double dose of victory today for Southern Pride in the New Zealand 
Community Trust Men?s National League sends a message to the other sides in 
the competition that they are not a team to be taken lightly.

The team from the south went into this weekend as the bottom seeds in the 
competition given their last placing last season but the form book counted 
for little at Surrey Park in Invercargill today.

Southern Pride have picked up two wins over Hutt Valley to put them in 
third place on the points table after week one. The home team won the first 
game of the double header 4-3 and then backed it up with an 8-6 win in the 
second game.

In game one Southern Pride showed real fighting spirit as they came from 
behind to take the game.

The defining moment of the match came in the fifth inning when with the 
scores locked at 1-1 Hutt Valley were at bat and loaded up the bases with 
two down. Under pressure NZCT Black Sox pitcher Michael Gaiger delivered 
for Southern Pride as he struck out the batter at the plate to end the 
inning and get his team out of trouble.

After escaping a Hutt Valley onslaught in the fifth inning Southern Pride 
struck back immediately in the top of the sixth inning scoring three runs 
when lead off hitter Derryn French singled and then Gareth Cooke smashed 
the ball out of the park to score two runs. Daniel Tarapi rounded out the 
scoring for Southern Pride when after getting on base via a walk he came 
home on an error.

Hutt Valley struck back with two runs of their own late in the game but it 
wasn?t enough to deny the home side a 4-3 victory.

On the mound for Southern Pride Michael Gaiger was a dominant figure giving 
up three hits and five walks while taking 10 strikeouts. For Hutt Valley 
Steven Tau fought hard on the mound he took four strikeouts while giving up 
eight hits and three walks.

Southern Pride came from behind again in the second game of the double 
header after the visiting team picked up two runs in the first inning. 
Southern Pride struck back with six runs in their second at bat to take the 
lead and they never relinquished it.

Gareth Cooke was the stand out performer with the bat for Southern Pride 
picking up three hits in the second game to go with the two he struck in 
the first encounter.

For the home side Lewis Acker did the job on the mound picking up five 
strikeouts while giving up 10 hits and two walks. For Hutt Valley Shaun 
Jamieson and Steven Tau shared the pitching duties.

Jamieson started the game giving up five hits and three walks while taking 
two strikeouts. Tau came into the game in the fourth inning and took two 
strikeouts while giving up six hits.

Another side to open the league with an unbeaten record is the defending 
champions Wellington who have played four games in the opening round and 
maintained a perfect record.

The defending champions were pushed hard in both of their games at Rosedale 
Park, North Harbour today. First up they took a narrow 3-2 win over Central 
Vikings and then followed that up with a 4-1 victory over the home side.

Also picking up two wins today was Auckland reversing the two losses they 
suffered against the same opposition a day earlier. Auckland opened the day 
with a narrow tie breaker victory over North Harbour 5-4 with the winning 
runs coming in the bottom of the ninth inning.

There was nothing nail biting about the result against Central Vikings 
though as the Auckland power hitters came out to play to win the game 18-0 
in just five innings. The star with the bat for Auckland was NZCT Black Sox 
catcher Patrick Shannon who smashed three automatic home runs in his first 
three trips to the batters box.

Mix of youth and experience in Black Sox team
Tuesday November 22nd 2005

With a busy international softball season ahead of him New Zealand 
Community Trust Black Sox coach Eddie Kohlhase has named a squad mixed with 
youth and experience to take on Samoa in 10 days.

Kohlhase?s squad of 17 includes two debutants and four experienced players 
returning to the team. New to the team are Auckland?s Michael Cameron and 
Corey Matakatea of Wellington while Darren Davies, Travis Wilson, Daniel 
Milne and Gus Leger have all won Black Sox recalls.

?We are very aware that we have got a pretty intensive international 
programme ahead of us over the next nine months and the Samoan series is a 
stepping stone to kick it off. We have selected the 17 athletes for this 
series with the whole year in mind and we are looking to build depth in key 
positions,? said Kohlhase.

The youngest in the squad 20-year-old Michael Cameron wins his place at the 
expense of Brad Rona who was not considered for selection due to injury. 
Cameron joins his brother Thomas in the team and is seen by Kohlhase as a 
utility infielder.

?Michael has been around for a while now although he is still very young 
and this is an opportunity for him to step up and push his chances for 
2009,? said Kohlhase.

Also looking to make his debut for the Black Sox during the Samoan series 
will be Wellington outfielder Corey Matakatea who has been on the fringes 
of the team in recent years making training squads but never before the 
playing squad.

Kohlhase says the series will be a good chance to introduce Matakatea to 
the Black Sox environment and international softball.

Those to win international recalls include Canterbury first baseman Darren 
Davies who last played international softball in 2002 when the Black Sox 
toured North America.

Kohlhase says in the past Davies has missed selection with softball legends 
such as Jarrad Martin and Mark Sorenson being picked ahead of him. But with 
Martin moving into the pitchers role and with the retirement of Sorenson, 
Davies has played his way back into the team.

?Darren is a seasoned campaigner and he is a specialist first baseman and 
an outstanding hitter while he is also left handed which brings a left hand 
element to our batting line up.?

Joining Davies back in black is Travis Wilson who last turned out for the 
Black Sox in 1996 when the team claimed world championship gold. Following 
that Wilson took up a professional baseball contract in America where he 
remained until last year.

?Travis is part of our long term planning and we are easing him back into 
our environment, he is one of our leaders and he is leading by example in 
terms of training on and off the diamond.?

Current Samoan captain outfielder Gus Leger has also won a Black Sox 
recall. He last played for the New Zealand team in 1998 and since then he 
has captained Samoa at the 2004 World Championships while also playing 
rugby for Tonga at the 2003 World Cup.

Also recalled to the squad is Canterbury outfielder Daniel Milne, he 
debuted for the Black Sox in 1999 on tour in North America and last played 
for the team in 2003 during a home international series.

The 17 man squad will assemble in Auckland next week ahead of the four 
match series to be played in Auckland and North Harbour against Samoa on 
December 3rd and 4th.

NEW ZEALAND COMMUNITY TRUST BLACK SOX TEAM TO PLAY SAMOA ?

Pitchers: Marty Grant (Wellington), Jarrad Martin, captain (North Harbour), 
Thomas Cameron (Auckland), Tane Richardson (Wellington).
Catchers: Patrick Shannon (Auckland), Lyndon Andrew (Auckland).
Infield: Darren Davies (Canterbury), Travis Wilson (Auckland), Steven 
Ratu  (Wellington), Nathan Nukunuku, vice captain (Auckland), Michael 
Cameron (Auckland).
Outfield: Stacy McLean (Wellington), Thomas Makea (Wellington), Gus Leger 
(Auckland), Cory Matakatea (Wellington), Fabian Makea (Wellington), Daniel

November 21
Kimberly, WI


Hello all.  As you are preparing your schedules for the '06 campaign,
please let me invite you to entertain the idea of playing in the Open
Division of the NAFA World Series.  I am directing this at you, all major
level teams.  You may sit and ask yourself why.  I did the same.  I
attended a meeting a couple weeks ago with the board of directors of the
group responsible for bringing the NAFA to the Fox Valley here in
Wisconsin, namely Appleton and Kimberly.  I was asked to see if I could
help recruit the top teams from across North America to compete in the
Open division of the NAFA World Series.  I won't lie to you, I was quite
skeptical of the idea since the past couple of years have drawn a scarce
few teams.  As I sat through the meeting I began to like more and more of
what I heard.  This group of people have worked their tails off to try and
make this division a success.  They are willing to work very hard to
please as many teams as possible to make this thing work and I personally
think that it is something all of you major squads should take a look at.
The Open Event will be held at Kimberly's Sunset Park, in my opinion, the
finest fastpitch facility anywhere.  The strong fan base and extremely
talented volunteers will put on an excellent tournament.  The dates are
August 22-24.  It is an Open tournament meaning just that.  There is no
out of area, there is no limit on pitchers etc.  You come and play with
what you have.  To add a bit more excitement there is a strong possibility
that this tournament will be held in conjunction with the Women's Pro
Fastpitch World Series.  This is not a done deal yet so don't quote me
just yet but the finances are in check and all signs point toward it
happening.  Who wouldn't want to come to the ballpark and watch Jennie
Finch throw and then watch one of the men's top fireballers in the same
night.

I really can't stress how hard this group of people have worked to make
the Open division part of the 2006 NAFA World Series.  I will tell you
that our Circle Tap team will be there and I know other teams have
committed.

Please feel free to send me any questions and I will get them answered for
you as timely as possible.  I am not an official board member but I will
get answers for you.  If you have any suggestions, please feel free to ask
those as well.
Thank you for your time.

I just want to let you all know that Boys of Summer tournament will again
be held the weekend of July 7-9, 2006.  We have several committed teams
already and I can tell you that the field is extremely strong even with
the
"qualifier" or whatever they are calling it in Colombia(if that is
actually happening.)
If you have any interest in joining the field, please let me know as we
are nearly full and want to give everyone a chance.  We do offer the past
year's participants first crack at a slot but please inquire if you are
interested.

Thanks

For those not familiar with tidbits, its ballyard rumours, nothing
more. Maybe no fact here at all, but same kind of stories you hear in the
ballpark. Only those mentioned can confirm or deny these stories,
and traditionally they tell us nada, or hardly ever, but they can
straighten the story out any time.

We should add that there are guidelines for posting to the list and for
submitting TidBits, see them at:
http://www.alsfastball.com/webstart/news1.htm


Subscribers tell me that TidBits is the most read and most popular of all 
the items we send out to our subscriber list.

I am going to take advantage of that fact and ask that all subscribers take 
note that eScribe is still down, has been since about day two of the ISC's 
in Eau Claire, but we never missed a beat, thanks to Saint James of 
FastpitchWest.com, our good friend Jim Flanagan has provided us with an 
excellent back up site with http://fastpitchwest.com/alsfastball

This is the time of the year when there is more talk than actual news, but 
since this is all we have for the news starved fans, here we go  - and 
maybe just maybe the team organizers will let us know what is going on - 
informally or otherwise!

Well after our recent TidBits of November 18, we got both corrections and 
updates and in addition to that, there is some startling news out of Ontario.

ONTARIO

SIX NATIONS

The Six Nations Chiefs have folded!  Well, at least for 2006. Their plans 
to field a senior team and take a serious run at the ISC and the Canadians 
will have to wait.

That means that the legendary Darren Zack is once again without a team, but 
do not bet this will last for long, a couple of Ontario teams are very 
interested in him we are told.

It also means that the players from Newfoundland who were going to move 
over from playing ball in Frankenmuth are now without a team as well.  A 
lot of good players may be available because of this. Speaking of players 
from Newfoundland, its hard to believe that Ward Gosse has not been signed 
by an ISC team to pitch in 2006. He has made it quite clear that he is in 
shape and is very interested in playing with an ISC team for the 2006 season.


And update and some corrections passed to us on the new Owen Sound Select 
River Shark Smokers:


OWEN SOUND

Management:

Dennis Bruckert, head coach - late of Circle Tap
Bob Nydick, general manager - late of River Sharks
Peter J. Porcelli, II, consultant/coach - late of Calgary Diamonds

ADD ON:
Shawn Ringel as GM/ Ontario Liason/ Owen Sound rep/ Bus Driver/ local 
fundraiser,/ Tourny Organizer Guy


Pitching Staff:

Frank Cox - late of Calgary Diamonds
Rob O'Brien - late of Circle Tap
Michael White - late of Moorhead Imaging Solution Knights

ADD ON:
Andy Jackson

Other players:

Sean O'Brien
Mike Taylor
Pat Graham
Ian Fehrman
Dan Loney

ADD ON:

Rhys Casley
David Boys
Andy Jackson
Todd Moyer
Steve Schott

Rumour also out of Owen Sound is that the Crunch have folded, could this 
mean Tim Cox? Ken Kivell? Trevor Wardell? in the mix?
Further confirmed that new Owen Sound team will have a very Crunch flavour.

another rumour from the sound is possibility of a bid to host 2008 senior 
mens nationals is being put together so that this super team can show their 
stuff at the national level - minus the Americans and Kiwis of course.

And out of Jarvis, a clarification that Pat Graham had their full blessing 
to go and play with the Owen Sound team in 2006. Graham is very involved 
with the Jarvis team at the local level and the national level and is in 
fact one of their key fund raisers and jack of all trades helping to keep 
this good young team afloat.

And more from Owen Sound:
Robbie O'Brien has been contacted by the same New York City modified team 
that Chad Rawn has played with since 1999 to be the #1 pitcher next season 
for a couple of choice tournaments including the ASA Nationals (likely a 2 
weekend commitment throughout the summer, including the Labour Day 
weekend).  That could mean that Robbie might miss the Canadian nationals 
next summer.  The modified game has taken off as of late with several ISC 
stars (including major Kiwi players) having made their way into the 
game.  Players are learning that there is major $ to be had from the teams 
that are intent on winning.



KITCHENER

Kitchener Hallman Twins news:

Roster additions include Jody Eidt, Paul Koert, Chris Jones, Chris Shewfelt 
and Greg Miller (after a 1 year fastball hiatus??). We will lose Rino 
Dambrosio for the Worlds due to our PRAWN count. Brian Stere is looking to 
retire after 16 years in a Kitchener/Waterloo uniform. We're trying to 
convince him to play one more year, but he seems quite serious about 
calling it a career. I GUESS 16 years as #16 is enough. Other than that, 
our roster remains in tact with White, Levy, Simmons, Martin, Scott, 
Bailey, Shackleton (still healing from the injury at the Canadians), 
Baechler, Daer, and Boyd all back for another kick.
No word yet on the promotion of Bill Simmons to Team Scribe yet after his 
outstanding contributon on the PRAWN rule.


And from a regular subscriber ouf of Fargo:

FARGO, ND

I saw your tidbits last week and it shows Quentin Mattzner going to Is 
instead of us. The correct team is Kegel not IS. I have personally talked 
to Quentin and he has committed to us. If you get a chance to post this 
correction I would greatly appreciate it. thank you and have a great 
day!!  anon


2007 WORLD TOURNAMENT

Its pretty well wrapped up now, but not officially so watch for word any 
day now about the new host for 2007.

Everything on the line for Southern Pride
Thursday November 24th 2005

It will be a case of all or nothing for Southern Pride this weekend in the 
New Zealand Community Trust Women's National League as they look to make 
the most of home advantage to keep their finals chances alive.

Although it is only week two of the league the Southern Pride side will 
have to record some victories this weekend at Saxton Park, Nelson in their 
final round robin games.

If the southern team can't string together enough points this weekend their 
National League season will be over as they have no more round robin games 
to play and they will miss out on a place in the top four finals series.

Southern Pride coach Kath McGilbert says the team are well aware of the 
situation but they are determined to put in some strong performances in Nelson.

The opening weekend of the league where the Southern Pride side suffered 
some heavy defeats at the hands of Auckland and Wellington was a tough 
lesson for the team says McGilbert but she is confident the team are better 
for it.

"We grew stronger the whole weekend as a team, everyone got to know each 
other on and off the diamond and that is critical because it showed in the 
Sunday games where the score line was a lot better," said McGilbert.

Going into this weekend Southern Pride will play Central Vikings in a 
double header on Saturday and then take on the defending champions Hutt 
Valley in another two games on Sunday.

To keep their finals chances alive McGilbert says it is vital her team pick 
up at least two wins and if possible even some bonus points.

"I am quietly confident I believe we have got the goods in the team to do 
it. We need to fire with the bat like potentially I know we are capable of."

McGilbert is also hoping the home advantage will prove a boost for the team 
which includes five Nelson based players.

Draw Week 2

2.00pm  Central Vikings v Southern Pride, Saxton Field, Nelson.

Hutt Valley needs to lift to keep top four hopes alive
Thursday November 24th 2005

After a couple of heart breaking losses for Hutt Valley in the opening 
round of the New Zealand Community Trust Men's National League they will 
have to bounce back this weekend too keep their finals chances alive.

Hutt Valley opened their national league campaign with two narrow away 
losses against Southern Pride. Coach Paul Stockford says while the results 
were disappointing the team can't look back and instead need to concentrate 
on getting some wins on the board.

"The opening weekend of the national league was a tough weekend for us and 
obviously we are looking for some improvement. It is critical that we come 
away with at least three wins out of this weekend," said Stockford.

While Hutt Valley may need some wins this weekend to stay in the top four 
race it is not going to be easy. They take on North Harbour and Central 
Vikings twice on Saturday and Sunday at Colquhoun Park, Palmerston North.

Both North Harbour and Central Vikings will go into the games with 
confidence having each picked up a win and some bonus points in the opening 
round of games.

Stockford is well aware of the tough task ahead of his side but is 
confident they can do it as long as they all work hard at denying the 
opposition runs.

"The biggest thing for us is to concede less runs, the expectation at the 
moment of scoring five to 10 runs to win a game is too high," said Stockford.

Crucial to denying the runs will be the performance of pitchers Steven Tau 
and Shaun Jamieson. Stockford says he is looking to his two pitchers to set 
the foundation for the team and just put the ball in front of the fielders 
and let them make the outs.

"Our goal is to be there on the last weekend and to achieve that we have to 
lift our game," said Stockford.

While Hutt Valley will be looking to turn things around this weekend at the 
other end of the points table the top three sides after week one will be 
facing each other at Norana Avenue Ballpark, Auckland.

In an intriguing series of matches Wellington, Auckland and Southern Pride 
will all face off against each other twice. The weekend will be a real test 
for the southern men who made a great start to the league but will need to 
continue that run if they are to be serious top four contenders.

Harbour hit some form
Saturday November 26th 2005

Power hitting has taken North Harbour to two victories today in the New 
Zealand Community Trust men?s National League at Colquhoun Park, Palmerston 
North.

In a display that shows just how dangerous the North Harbour side can be 
they opened up today with the thumping 14-1 victory over Central Vikings 
and then backed it up with a comprehensive 7-0 win over Hutt Valley.

In the opening game of the day against Central Vikings North Harbour showed 
their intentions in the first inning scoring two runs when Jarrad Martin 
came home on an automatic by Brad Rona.

Runs kept flowing for Harbour as they scored two more in the third, another 
two in the fourth and eight more in the fifth to round out the game. 
Joining Rona in the home run hitting stakes were Orlando Rodriguez, Jarrad 
Martin and Ricky Manson.

Central Vikings? only run in the game came in the fourth inning when Bevan 
Martin scored on a hit by Joseph O?Leary.

On the mound Jarrad Martin shared the pitching duties for North Harbour 
with Jim Grego. Martin started the game and he faced 15 batters giving up 
two hits while taking three strikeouts. Grego came into the game as relief 
pitcher in the fifth inning and he faced six batters picking up two 
strikeouts while giving up one hit.

For Central Vikings Penese Iosefo had the unfortunates task of trying to 
contain the Harbour hitters, he faced 30 batters taking three strikeouts 
while giving up 12 hits and four walks.

The winning run continued for North Harbour later in the day as they were 
again dominant this time against Hutt Valley taking the win 7-0.

Just like in the first game for North Harbour Brand Rona led the way with 
the bat picking up two automatics in the game to go with the one he scored 
against Central Vikings.


In other men?s national league fixtures the defending champions have 
continued their unbeaten record with another two wins today at Rosedale 
Park, North Harbour.

The team from the capital were too strong for Auckland 3-1 and then they 
overcame Southern Pride 4-0.

The second game against Southern Pride was a lot tighter that the score 
line would suggest with only a couple of big hits from the Wellington power 
hitters breaking the game open.

The game was all locked up at 0-0 until the fifth inning when Wellington 
outfielder Damian McCulloch stepped up and smashed the ball over the left 
field fence for the first hit of the game.

The effort was repeated in the sixth inning when Gene Lutton did the same 
thing and then the icing on the cake came in the seventh inning when Todd 
Grego picked up an automatic of his own with a runner on base to push the 
score line out to 4-0.

Much of the game was a pitching duel between New Zealand Community Trust 
Black Sox hurlers Marty Grant for Wellington and Michael Gaiger for 
Southern Pride. Grant faced 22 batters taking a phenomenal 18 strikeouts 
while giving up one walk and no hits. For Southern Pride Gaiger faced 26 
batters taking 15 strikeouts while giving up six hits.

NEW ZEALAND COMMUNITY TRUST MEN?S NATIONAL LEAGUE RESULTS:
Saturday January 26th ?
Hutt Valley 5 Central Vikings 0, Wellington 3 Auckland 1, North Harbour 14 
Central Vikings 1, Wellington 4 Southern Pride 0, North Harbour 7 Hutt 
Valley 0, Auckland 12 Southern Pride 5.

Central Vikings women get a taste of victory in national league
Saturday November 26th 2005

It has been a successful day on the diamond for Central Vikings in the New 
Zealand Community Trust women's National League at Saxton Park, Nelson today.

The central side has picked up their first wins in the league with two 
victories today over the home side Southern Pride 8-4 and 6-4.

Central Vikings came from behind in the first game after the home team took 
an early two run advantage in the first inning. It wasn't until the third 
inning that Central Vikings took control of the game as they scored three 
runs and then added another four in their next at bat.

Stand out performers with the bat for Central Vikings were Rachel Kairau, 
Rise Kato and Sapphire Paul who all picked up two hits in the game.

The home team rallied pulled back two runs in the fifth inning but it 
wasn't enough as Central Vikings added one more run of their own in the 
seventh inning to round out the game.

On the mound Michal Tangaroa was doing the job for Central Vikings she 
faced 31 batters taking three strikeouts while giving up 10 hits and two 
walks.

For Southern Pride Courtney Maihi and Phillipa Lee shared the duties on the 
mound, Maihi started the game and she faced 30 batters giving up nine hits 
and four walks while taking three strikeouts. Lee was introduced into the 
game in the sixth inning and she faced seven batters and gave up three hits 
and two walks.

Game two of the double header was tighter as the two teams went toe to toe 
in the first inning each scoring three runs. Central Vikings went further 
ahead in the second inning adding another three runs while Southern Pride 
couldn't get back on the scoreboard until the sixth inning when they picked 
up on run.

Top performers with the bat in game two were Michal Tangaroa for Central 
Vikings and Maleme Williams who picked up two hits each.

The pitching duties for both teams were shared with Yvette Britts starting 
for Central Vikings before being replaced in the fourth inning by Michal 
Tangaroa. Britts faced 16 batters and gave up four hits while taking two 
strikeouts, Tangaroa also faced 16 batters and she took three strikeouts 
while giving up three hits.

Ontario Masters News

The OASA recently held their AGM and the following motions / proposals all 
passed and will be in effect for 2006.

Page 60 - By-Law II - Player Eligibility 2:5:1, a), last sentence
Revise to read, "Pitchers must be at least 40 years of age in the year of 
the event."
Rationale: Age eligibility deadlines should be the same for position 
players and pitchers.
A pitcher can be 39 years of age as long as he turns 40 sometime in 2006.

Resolution #1
Be it resolved that for the 2006 season, the Masters Series be allowed to 
submit their roster and all other required information by the registration 
date (team certificate deadline) electronically if possible and sign in at 
the Provincial Championship Tournament.

Resolution #2
Be it resolved that for the 2006 season, a Grand Masters Series will be 
created on a trial basis.  All Grand Master Players must be at least 45 
years of age in the year of the event.  The OASA Grand Masters Championship 
Tournament will operate on the same date and same location as the OASA 
Masters Championship Tournament.  All other rules related to the Grand 
Masters Series will follow the OASA guidelines.
It would be nice to see some of the North Bay teams enter the Grand Masters 
division.

It was confirmed by Bob Abbot that the 2006 OASA Masters and Grand Masters 
Championship will NOT be held in Port Perry,
Want to know where the tournament will be held ?
Check out the Ontario Masters Fastball web site for the answer 
http://eteamz.active.com/omf/

Some rumours floating around about a new team forming for 2006 with an 
elite pitching staff being recruited and some other BIG names as well.
The only stumbling block seems to be finding sponsors.

There are currently 4 Ontario tournaments on the masters circuit and all 
will be using the OASA age eligibility deadline rules ( see above for age 
eligibility ) for 2006 except for the World Senior Tournament in North Bay. 
It would be nice to see all the tournaments using the same rules wherever 
possible.
The 4 tournaments on the Ontario Masters circuit are ...................

Waterloo May Two-Four Blast - May long weekend
OASA Provincial Championships Masters & Grand Masters - Date not confirmed, 
probably July as always
Canadian Masters Championship Men & Women - Cobourg , CMFA Executive 
working on date
World Senior Men's Fastball Tournament - North Bay, Labour Day Weekend

NAFA Masters World Series - Carson City Nevada Sep 22-24 2006
35 & over ( player eligibility will be a player's age anytime during the 
2006 calendar year )
40 & over ( player eligibility will be a player's age anytime during the 
2006 calendar year )
45 & over ( player eligibility will be a player's age anytime during the 
2006 calendar year )
50 & over ( player eligibility will be a player's age anytime during the 
2006 calendar year )

It sure would be nice to see some Canadian flavour at the 2006 NAFA Masters 
World Series tournament, I know its something I have always wanted to do 
before I retire.  I'm always looking for nominations for " Masters of the 
Game " a monthly feature on the Ontario Masters Fastball web site. I would 
like to put a survey on the OMF web site and would like to invite you to 
submit a question to be considered for the survey.  If you have any hot 
rumours, player movements, juicy tidbits etc. please send them to me for 
the OMF web site, any submissions will remain confidential.

It was a real pleasure to be asked to accept a "perfect game" award at the 
recent OASA AGM. The perfect game award was presented to Alvinston Indians 
pitcher Doug Charlton and his catcher Dan Demers. Doug Charlton was the 
only pitcher at any level to throw a perfect game in 2005.  I had the best 
seat in the house to watch Doug twirl his perfect game and it was real 
sweet to watch except for the fact that Doug's perfect game came against 
our team the Waterdown Hammer. Doug is an elite pitcher on the masters 
scene and is still considered one of the top Intermediate pitchers as he 
recently helped his Alvinston team to a 3rd place finish at the very tough 
ISC II Tournament of Champions in Wisconsin. Doug is a workhorse and a 
warrior and can pitch all weekend long but most important he is a gentleman 
and one of the good guys in the game. Congratulations Doug and Dan on this 
great achievement.

Rick May of the Colborne Rutherflo Masters also received an OASA " 
no-hitter " award at the AGM. Rick's no-hitter award came while pitching 
for the Lake Simcoe Lighting at the OASA Intermediate " C " Championships 
in Bobcaygeon. Rick pitched 7 innings winning 4-0 with 10 K's and faced 22 
batters with 2 walks.
It was a real shame that Rick wasn't on hand to receive this award because 
apparently he knew nothing about the award presentation, Sylvia Ryan 
accepted the award on Rick's behalf.  If Rick wasn't notified, then I 
wonder if Doug Charlton even knew about his award.

Perfect games and no-hitters don't happen everyday and if you are skilled 
and lucky enough to achieve this great feat you should be on hand to 
receive your own award, or at least invited to do so by the OASA. In 2002 
one of my pitchers with my Stoney Creek Gators team threw a no-hitter 
against the local Ingersoll team.
The local scorer gave a base hit on a 2 hop routine grounder to my 
shortstop who bobbled the ball twice and made a late throw to 1st base. I 
tried to apply for the no-hitter award on behalf of my pitcher but was told 
the official scoresheet had to be used. Too bad an OASA official scorer 
wasn't used. Since there was no doubt that Mark Curtis actually threw a 
no-hitter with 10K's we had our own no-hitter award custom made and framed 
and we as a team presented it to Mark.

A special note to Dave Reynolds : Congratulations on becoming the new 
President of the OASA it could not of happened to a nicer guy. Dave 
recently was a member of the Canadian Masters Fastball Association and 
before that he was OASA Secretary.

Yours in Sport

Rejuvenating Softball

Softball is dying.  I'd bet my life 99.9 percent of everyone who is reading 
this has heard that phrase uttered at some point over the past couple of 
years. Over and over I hear softball is dying. I have resigned myself to 
the fact that the all-knowing people who make this claim are not going to 
be proactive for the cause. These people are waiting for a magic cure, a 
quick fix miracle that will suddenly jolt softball back to the nation wide 
glory-days of old. Unfortunately, it's going to take more than an eighteen 
year old kid coming out of Rimouski to revive our sport. That's not to say 
it can't be done. On the contrary, it can be done, just not by 5 people, or 
10 people, or even 50 people, and certainly not by people who are content 
to just cross their arms and write off the sport with 3 simple words. 
Softball is dying.

Softball is alive. Contrary to popular belief softball isn't even on 
life-support. I've seen the tournament crowds. I've seen small towns get 
behind their teams. I've seen some of the best athletes on the planet 
battle for nothing more than the love of game. Softball has given so much 
to so many and now it's time to give something back. If all the softball 
players out there take a minute and think of the opportunities, 
experiences, laughs, and life-long friends you have been afforded by being 
able to play this game, I think you would agree it isn't too much to ask.

Which raises the question, how exactly do I go about "giving back" to the 
sport? Well, there isn't a single answer for that. I realize that everyone 
is extremely busy and it seems we have less and less personal time each 
year, but there are many things that can be done and none of them take 
massive amounts of effort or time. You can volunteer to be a minor softball 
coach, assistant coach, or even just an occasional helper. Softball Ontario 
is offering free Introduction to Coaching Clinics across the province this 
spring and anyone and everyone can come. We are also going to try and 
organize an "Adopt-a-team" program, where senior teams adopt a team of 
youngsters and help out at their practices and games. Softball Ontario is 
always looking for volunteers. We have the resources available to do many 
great things but we are constantly short on manpower and there is only so 
much a few people can do.

Do you know of any events in your community? From festivals and fairs to 
trade shows and parades, Softball Ontario is happy to partner with softball 
teams and associations to set up a booth and promote the game. Do you know 
of any schools in your area? Do you know any teachers? Softball Ontario has 
programs designed to get softball into schools, but there is only so many 
we can reach on our own. Tournaments are always summer highlights, but we 
need to start worrying more about attracting kids to watch the games, and 
less about attracting people to the beer tent. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy 
a beer or five in the tent as much as anyone, but let's take a few minutes 
to figure out what we can offer and how to promote a tournament so that 
non-softball kids and their parents come out to watch these great games. 
Talk to schools, talk to camps, talk to kids, talk to your community, talk 
to tournament organizers, but most importantly, talk to us. To make a 
difference we need to work together.

The bottom line is, in order to revive the sport of softball, we have to be 
visible. Kids and parents have too many options for us to just sit back and 
hope they choose softball. We have to get into communities, into the 
papers, into the public conscious in order to fully resuscitate our sport. 
If people truly think it would be a shame for our sport to wither away, 
then everyone should band together and take control of the situation. A few 
people alone cannot make the significant changes needed to raise our 
profile, but if everyone just does their small part, there is no limit to 
what can be accomplished. After all, considering what softball has done for 
all of us, don't we owe it just a little bit?

please give me a call or shoot me an email 416 426

Winless weekend puts Southern Pride out of women?s national league
Sunday November 27th 2005

A weekend of losses has ended the hopes of Southern Pride in the New 
Zealand Community Trust women?s National League.

Home advantage at Saxton Park, Nelson has not been enough for the Southern 
team as they have suffered two losses today against the defending champions 
Hutt Valley 7-2 and 6-1. Today?s losses came on the back of two defeats 
yesterday against Central Vikings 8-4 and 6-4.

Going into this weekend Southern Pride were well aware of their need for 
victories as today?s games were their last in round robin play. Despite the 
need for wins the best Southern Pride could manage was a close loss against 
Central Vikings to give them one bonus point.

In the games today against Hutt Valley it was a familiar story for Southern 
Pride as they struggled to deny runs and then scored too few of their own.

Hutt Valley took control of game one in the second inning when they scored 
two runs courtesy of a home run by Katrina Stockford. The defending 
champions added another run in the fifth inning and then closed the game 
out in the sixth inning with a further four runs.

Southern Pride pegged back two runs but it was never going to be enough as 
they only managed to string together two hits in the game.

The Southern Pride batters struggled against Hutt Valley pitcher Jana 
Vacikova, the Czech Republic hurler faced 25 batters giving up just two 
hits and one walk while taking three strikeouts.

Courtney Maihi was on the mound for Southern Pride she faced 28 batters 
conceding six hits and four walks while taking three strikeouts.

Game two of the double header followed a similar pattern to the first game 
with Hutt Valley being the first to score. The home side pulled one run 
back in the second inning but then Hutt Valley went into overdrive scoring 
a further five runs in reply and extinguishing any hopes Southern Pride may 
have had.
With the two victories today the defending champions Hutt Valley join 
Auckland at the top of the points table with one weekend of round robin 
play still to go.

Auckland upset Wellington in men's N/League
Sunday November 27th 2005

The defending champions Wellington have had their unbeaten record broken 
today by Auckland in the New Zealand Community Trust Men?s National League.

It was a tight affair between the top two seeds with the game going to a 
tie breaker inning before Auckland came out on top 3-2. The winning run of 
the game was scored in the bottom of the eighth inning when with bases 
loaded the batter Michael Fenton was walked allowing the runner to come 
home from third base to win the game.

 From the outset the game at Norana Avenue Ballpark, Auckland was a nail 
biter with the first run of the game not coming until the top of the fifth 
inning when Wayne Laulu scored for Wellington on a sacrifice hit by Fabian 
Makea.

After going behind on the scoreboard Auckland struck back with interest in 
the bottom of the sixth inning as first Patrick Shannon and then Lyndon 
Andrew smashed the ball over the left field fence. Wellington scored again 
in the top of the seventh inning with Todd Grego crossing home plate to 
level up the score and send the game into extra innings.

In the first extra inning Wellington couldn?t make their tie breaker runner 
count meaning Auckland only needed one run in the bottom of the inning to 
win the game.

With Auckland at bat in the bottom of the eighth inning and a runner on 
second base the home side then loaded up the bases with a fielding error 
and a walk before Wellington pitcher Tane Richardson walked Michael Fenton 
to give Auckland the game.

Given the power hitting line ups both sides went into the game with it was 
a sterling effort from all the pitchers to keep a lid on the runs.

Thomas Cameron started the game for Auckland, he faced 24 batters giving up 
three hits while taking four strikeouts. Heinie Shannon came into the game 
in the seventh inning for Auckland and he faced eight batters giving up two 
hits while taking one strikeout.

For Wellington Marty Grant started the game on the mound facing 16 batters 
taking five strikeouts while conceding three hits and two walks. Tane 
Richardson came into the game as relief pitcher in the fifth inning and he 
faced 17 batters giving up four hits and two walks while taking five 
strikeouts.

Victory over Wellington was Auckland?s second win of the day as they had 
earlier demolished Southern Pride 15-0. It was a rough day for the southern 
side who also lost to Wellington in the morning 11-0 in just five innings.

The big movers in the men?s national league this weekend have been North 
Harbour who have picked up four wins at Colquhoun Park, Palmerston North 
over the past two days to move them into second place on the points table.

North Harbour picked up comprehensive wins over Central Vikings and Hutt 
Valley yesterday and then repeated the dose today although they were made 
to work a bit harder for their victories.

The opening game today for North Harbour went right down to the wire as the 
visiting team came from behind to defeat Central Vikings 8-7. Later in the 
day victory came a bit more comfortably over Hutt Valley 4-1.

Kitchener Awarded 2007 ISC Championships

The International Softball Congress (ISC) and Kitchener Fastball Promotions 
(KFP) are happy to jointly announce that both 2006 and 2007 ISC 
championship tournaments will be conducted in Kitchener, Ontario.  The 2007 
tournament dates are August 10-18.

As many know, Decatur, IL was originally awarded the 2007 tournaments 
through the bidding process last August in Eau Claire, WI during the 2005 
ISC World Tournament.  Following the Decatur award, the Decatur Sports 
Foundation became aware of some issues within their organizing group which 
would have jeopardized their ability to properly conduct the ISC World 
Tournament and the ISC II Tournament of Champions.

On November 11, Decatur officially withdrew as 2007 host.  With the ISC's 
blessing they plan to return to bid a future ISC.

The ISC approached Tom Clancy representing KFP, and asked if Kitchener 
would be able to conduct both 2006 and 2007 tournaments.  It was felt that 
it would be easier and more efficient for Kitchener to conduct the 
tournaments in consecutive years than to seek out a new location.  In 
addition, the ISC has complete confidence in Kitchener's ability to 
organize and stage top-quality tournaments.

While the ISC has been in contact with several prospective bid cities as 
well as former hosts, Kimberly and Eau Claire, it was apparent the most 
logical location would be Kitchener, for a variety of reasons.

    * Kitchener has their organizing committee and all other necessary 
components in place for 2006 and it was simply a matter of having everyone 
agree to take on 2007 as a seamless continuation.
    * Any other location would have meant less than 2-years preparation 
time, re-organizing or organizing their tournament committee, securing 
hotel room blocks, obtaining needed sponsors and in some cases, organizing 
a competitive host team.
    * Kimberly had earlier informed us of their intent to bid for 2008.
    * Kitchener can turn this scenario into an advantageous situation by 
being able to package sponsorships and other commitments for a 2-year 
period instead of just a single event in 2006 only.  It may also be an 
advantage for all involved to obtain a 2-year TV commitment.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Canada Defeats Cuba 9-0
November 26th, 2005

(Ottawa) Softball Canada?s Women?s National team defeated Cuba 9-0 in their 
first game
at the VI Pan American Softball Championships in Guatemala City, Guatemala.
Auburn Sigurdson (Surrey, BC) earned the win for Canada; she gave up only 
two hits and
struck out nine Cuban batters.
Canada was led by Megan Timpf (Port Dover, ON) who hit two singles, scored 
two runs and
recorded two RBIs.  Janiva Willis (Irishtown, BC) contributed a double, a 
stolen base
and scored two runs.  Canada got other hits from Kristy Odamura (Richmond, 
BC), Alison
Bradley (Pinkerton, ON), Cindy Eadie (Brantford, ON), and Brittany Freight 
(Las Vegas,
NV).

With the score 1-0 after one inning, Canada exploded offensively in the 
second inning.
Timpf hit a change up to center field, followed by a Willis double down the 
right field
line.  Timpf would score on a wild pitch, with Willis advancing to second 
on the play.
Eadie then reached on an error by the Cuban first baseman.  Freight stepped 
into the
batters box and was hit by a pitch.  When the dust settled, Canada scored 
six runs on
three hits and five Cuban errors.  After 2 innings of play, Canada led 7-0.
Head Coach Lori Sippel on Canada?s first game and first win ?"I am very 
pleased with the
team's performance tonight. There were many solid performances that 
contributed to the 9-
0 victory. However, I am most pleased with the readiness of the team prior 
to game time
and the constant pressure they put on Cuba each inning."

Canada?s next action at the Pan American Championships is on Sunday with a 
double
header.  In the first game they face Brazil, followed by a match up with 
Colombia.  The
first game kicks off at 8:30PM EST.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Canada Defeats Brazil 7-0 at VI Pan American Softball Championship
November 27th, 2005

(Ottawa) Softball Canada?s Women?s National team defeated Brazil 7-0, 
extending their
record to 2-0 at the VI Pan American Softball Championship.  Canada scored 
seven runs on
nine hits and committed two errors.

Head Coach Lori Sippel commented; "Going into the game we talked about 
controlling both
halves of each inning. Ashley Lanz did a great job for us on the defensive 
side as she
was one error away from a perfect game. Her performance allowed the bats to 
warm and the
hitters answered the call."

Canada has yet to give up a run in the tournament, receiving another 
outstanding
pitching performance.  Ashley Lanz (Coquitlam, BC) earned the win; she 
struck out eight
Brazilian batters and did not give up a hit.

Canada got the offense going in the third inning.  Brittany Freight (Las 
Vegas, NV) led
off with a walk, stole second base and then advanced to third base on a 
Rachel Schill
(Kitchener, ON) sacrifice bunt.  Kristy Odamura (Richmond, BC) then singled 
to left
field scoring Freight.  With Odamura on first, Sheena Lawrick (Calgary, AB) 
walked
followed by a sharp double to right center field by Alison Bradley that 
scored Odamura
from first base.  Megan Timpf (Port Dover, ON) finished off the scoring in 
the third
inning by hitting a single to center field that brought home Lawrick and 
Bradley.
Canada would add two runs in the fourth inning and one run in the fifth 
inning, ending
the game due to the international run-rule.

Canada Improves to 3-0 Defeating Colombia 6-0
November 27th, 2005

(Ottawa) Softball Canada?s Women?s National team improved to 3-0 on Sunday 
night at the
VI Pan American Softball Championship, defeating Colombia 6-0.

Robin Mackin (Newmarket, ON) was on the mound for Canada; Mackin allowed

who also
scored a run.

With the score 1-0 in the fifth inning, Canada opened the 
floodgates.  Eadie led off
with a single and was then replaced by pinch runner Erin Gee (Vancouver, 
BC). Gee stole
second, and then advanced to third base on a Brittany Freight (Las Vegas, 
NV) fielder?s
choice.  Gee was thrown out at home attempting to score on a Schill 
fielder?s choice to
the Colombian third baseman.  With Schill at first, Odamura singled

Kitchener Awarded 2007 ISC Men?s World Fastball Tournament

KITCHENER - The International Softball Congress (ISC) has announced that 
both the 2006 and 2007 ISC Men?s World Fastball Tournaments will be held in 
Kitchener, Ontario under the direction of Kitchener Fastball Promotions 
(KFP) and the City of Kitchener.

The 2006 tournament dates are August 11-19, while the 2007 tournament runs 
from August 10-18.

Kitchener, which last hosted an ISC World Fastball Tournament in 2002, was 
selected to host the 2007 championships after Decatur, IL, withdrew as host 
on November 11.

At that time the ISC approached Tom Clancy, representing KFP, and asked if 
Kitchener ? they were earlier awarded the 2006 championships ? would be 
able to conduct the 2007 event.

The ISC expressed its complete confidence in Kitchener?s quality facilities 
and in the City?s ability to organize and stage top-quality back-to-back 
tournaments.

?The ISC Men?s World Fastball Tournament is a major sports event and we 
look forward to welcoming all participating teams and players back to 
Kitchener, and to staging consecutive world-class tournaments,? said Mayor 
Carl Zehr.

The tournaments will offer local fans the opportunity to see some of the 
best fastball players in the world under extremely competitive conditions. 
The ISC ll Men?s Fastball Tournament of Champions will also give a number 
of local teams the chance to compete in their home province, where there is 
a lot of interest in the sport.

This represents the first time that back-to-back ISC championships have 
been awarded to the same city since the 1960s when Rock Island, Ill., 
hosted the event, and the potential financial spin-offs are expected to be 
considerable.

?We fully support their choice to bring the tournaments back to Kitchener,? 
said Todd Letts, president and CEO of the Greater Kitchener Waterloo 
Chamber of Commerce. ?The tournaments will have a great impact on our local 
economy, as well as a positive effect on our community pride.?

?It?s huge,? said Clancy, who noted that the financial impact during the 
2002 tournament, which he chaired, was about $5 million. ?It?s probably the 
biggest sports event in Kitchener in the next several years, and we expect 
the impact this time around to be over $7 million each year.?

A total of 84 teams will compete in both 2006 and 2007, compared with the 
64 teams that competed in 2002. Teams will play a round-robin format, which 
means they?ll have a day off to go shopping and see local sights.



In addition to the main tournaments, KFP will also host the Bridge to 
Future skills clinics for young local players of varying skills and ages, 
and a session for Special Olympic athletes.

The 2006 championships, called the Schneider?s ISC Men?s World Fastball 
Tournament, boasts two major sponsors in Kitchener-based Schneider Foods 
and Molson?s Canada along with many supporting sponsors and over 600 
volunteers.

In anticipation of the tournaments, the City of Kitchener is upgrading the 
Peter Hallman Ball Yard, adding permanent seating for an additional 800 
fans to the main diamond. In addition, the fencing behind home plate and 
along the first and third base foul lines will be moved to allow for more 
permanent seating behind home plate and the placement of portable bleachers 
along the lines. In making these adjustments, the two dugouts, which are 
now at ground level, will be dug two feet into the ground to help improve 
the sightlines for spectators.

Selection Event


MEDIA RELEASE

Queensland to Host First Major International Softball Selection Event
29 November 2005

The Queensland Softball Association in conjunction with Softball Australia 
and the support of the Australian Institute of Sport will host this year's 
first major World Championship selection event, the Grand Prix Series, in 
Brisbane from 2-4 December 2005.

The Softball Australia Grand Prix Series features five state institutes and 
academies of sport teams - the AIS, NSWIS Blues, QAS Heatwave, VIS Titans 
and Western Arrow.

Over 70 of Australia's current top softball players, including Olympians 
Natalie Ward (NSW), Natalie Titcume (VIC), Tanya Harding (Qld) and Stacey 
Porter (NSW), will be competing on the diamond to showcase their skills to 
selectors.

"This is one of the major events that athletes have to showcase their 
skills in front of the national selectors. For many of them, this 
opportunity will strengthen their claims after some solid performances on 
tour earlier this year. The selectors are hopeful that some young emerging 
players will put up their hands and show that they can handle the pressure 
of elite level softball, which will increase the player base that selectors 
have to choose from," said Fabian Barlow, Head Coach of the Australian Open 
Women's team.

This year is a world championship year for the Open Women's and Australia's 
best female softballers from around the country will be vying for a 
position in the 17 player squad who will represent Australia at the world 
championships in Beijing in August.

The Grand Prix Series combined with the Australian Open Women's Fastpitch 
Championship, which will be held from 1-7 January at Altona in Victoria, is 
the beginning of the domestic elite competition and is aimed at providing 
international selection and development opportunities for elite level 
female softball players.

"The Australian Open Women's team, Aussie Spirit, is currently ranked 
second in the world so players will need to perform at their best to secure 
a spot in the squad. It will be extremely competitive and will demonstrate 
softball at the highest skill level in Australia," concluded Mr Barlow.

The overall winning team of the series takes home the Audrey McLaughlin 
Cup, named after one of Softball Australia's greats, Audrey McLaughlin AM, 
who will be doing the honours of the 'first pitch' prior to the Grand Final 
on Sunday.

With the first event scheduled for Downey Park, Brisbane, the second and 
third rounds will be held at Waverley, Victoria (10-12 February) and the 
New South Wales Softball Centre at Blacktown Olympic Park (14-17 April).

Guatemala City, Guatemala---The USA Softball National team is off to an

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Canada Shuts-Out Argentina: Moves to 4-0
November 28th, 2005

(Ottawa) Canada defeated Argentina 7-0 at the VI Pan American Softball 
Championship to
increase its record to 4-0.  The VI Pan American Softball Championship 
serves as a
qualifier for both the 2006 World Championships as well as the 2007 Pan 
American Games.

Auburn Sigurdson (Surrey, BC) got the start in the circle and earned the 
win; Sigurdson
gave up one hit, struck out ten batters and allowed two base on 
balls.  Canada was led
offensively by Alison Bradley (Pinkerton, ON) and Tamra Howren (Vancouver, 
BC) who each
recorded two hits.  Canada has yet to allow a run in the tournament.

With the score 4-0 for Canada after five innings of play; Kristy Odamura 
(Richmond, BC)
led off the sixth with a single.  Odamura then stole her way to third 
base.  Erin Gee
(Vancouver, BC) followed up with an RBI single, making the score 5-0 for 
Canada.  Tamra
Howren (Surrey, BC) ended the game by hitting a two-run home run, with the 
game called

Head Coach Lori Sippel quoted after the game; "This game presented our 
biggest challege
yet.  It was an odd game from the first pitch and I am proud of the way the 
players
handled each situation and moved forward. Auburn Sigurdson worked through 
the first 2
innings and found her groove to close the game out with a 1 hitter.  Tamra 
Howren and
Alison Bradley were the spark plugs offensively with multiple hit 
performances.
Howren's 2 run blast was a great way to close out the game."

tomorrow afternoon
at 14:30 against Ecuador.

Black Sox ready to right a wrong
Tuesday November 29th 2005

For the three time world champion New Zealand Community Trust Black Sox 
team defeat is uncommon but that is exactly what happened when they last 
played Samoa earlier this year.

It was a historic victory for Samoa back in February at the Evodrive Series 
as our Pacific Island neighbours claimed their first ever win over the 
world champions. Black Sox coach Eddie Kohlhase has no doubt they will be 
just as tough this coming weekend in the four game series to be played in 
Auckland and North Harbour.

Kohlhase says the Black Sox take pride in their successful record and no 
defeat sit well with them.

"The players set themselves very high standards and expectations and this 
team won't be any different. Our priority for the series is obviously to 
win but we also want to grow depth in key positions moving forward and 
expose some new players to international softball," said Kohlhase.

For the series Kohlhase has named a 17 man squad featuring a core of 
experienced players, a couple of debutants and a number of former 
internationals returning to the team.

Having named four pitchers Kohlhase says every pitcher will get to start 
one game each while the remaining players in the squad will get at least 
two games each in a rotation system.

"We have to play Samoa due respect, they are a team that have troubled us 
in the past and the last time we played them they best us."

The Samoan team will be led on the mound by experienced pitcher Heinie 
Shannon while they also play good defence and are strong with the bat.

"To have some international softball is fantastic for the game. Softball 
New Zealand has put this four game series together with two things in mind 
firstly to provide the Black Sox with some game time looking forward to 
January and the Commonwealth Series in Australia. While secondly and more 
importantly it is providing international competition with our Pacific 
neighbours. The Black Sox don't get to play at home a lot and hopefully 
this will become an annual fixture," said Kohlhase.

Elkland, PA- The Elkland Fastpitch Team finished probably their biggest 
jobs of the off-season with resigning their 19-game winner, pitcher Hugh 
Hillhouse of Erie, PA over the weekend.

Hillhouse re-wrote the Elkland Fastpitch pitching record book last season, 
when he finished the season with 19-4 record, with 157 strikeouts and a 
2.22 ERA in 26 games. During the season, Hillhouse began the year starting 
out with a 10-0 pitching record through the teams first 4 tournaments of 
the year.

One of the more surprising aspects of Hillhouse's season was the fact that 
he pitched the last 3 tournaments of the season with a broken bone in his 
foot, after he suffered the injury during batting practice at the 2005 NAFA 
World Series. Hillhouse was unaware of the broken bone in his ankle until a 
trip to the doctors after the season. During those three tournaments, 
despite constant pain in his ankle, Hillhouse compiled a 6-2 record, with 
60 strikeouts and a 3.25 ERA in 47.33 innings.

Hillhouse took time to evaluate his options for the 2006 season, and 
entertain offers from other teams, but his desire to come back to the team 
out weighed his moving to another team.

Over the course of the 2005 season, Hillhouse broke 3 single season team 
pitching records, including wins(19), strikeouts(157), and ERA(2.22). He 
also tied the record for overall pitching appearances (26).

"Hughie is a large part of our success over the last 2 seasons", says 
Elkland player/coach Bruce Hackett. "Having him back with the club for next 
season is a very large part of the 2005-2006 off season puzzle, that is now 
solved".

2006 will be Hillhouse's 3rd full season with the team, after pitching for 
the team once during the 2003 season. Elkland finished 2005 with an overall 
record of 33-10 on the season. The team expects to play in a 10-11 
tournament schedule in 2006, including a return trip to the NAFA A-Major 
World Series.

More roster moves and possible team sponsorship news will be reported 
within the next month as details are known. For more information about the 
Elkland Fastpitch Team, use the link to the team website at the bottom of 
the page.

Many teams over the years have made this a family trip combining Las Vegas 
and the Red Rock tournament into a super 3-4 day holiday. They either 
arrive a day early or leave a day later spending a night or two in Las 
Vegas. There are special group rates for 10 or more people. A few of the 
players significant others spent the entire time in Las Vegas and were 
joined by their men either before or after the tournament.

There is also a full facility resort located in Mesquite, Nevada just a 
short 25 - 30 minute drive to St. George. It has many inexpensive hotels 
and casinos. Some rooms in Mesquite last year were about $21.00

Getting to the Red Rock International Invitational:

St. George Airport: http://www.ci.st-george.ut.us/airport/

The St. George airport is located about 5 minutes the downtown area and 
about 10 minutes from the ball park.

Las Vegas: McCarran International Airport:
http://www.mccarran.com/airportguide.asp

The Las Vegas airport is about a 1? hour drive North up Interstate 15. As 
you approach the mountain pass approaching St. George, the view is 
absolutely incredible. Be sure to bring your camera.

Driving by car from the Salt Lake City area is about a 5 hour drive.

Ultimate platinum package being offered for 2006 event

By Andy Bader
Wednesday November 30, 2005

Mitchell Advocate ? Planning and preparing for the Monkton World
Invitational Fastball tournament has become a year-long task for the
organizing committee, and once again, they have improved the 2006
tournament.

Bouyed by the successful tournament this past summer, which was even more
successful than the inaugural tournament in 2004, organizers have announced
that the 2006 event will include an exhibition doubleheader on Wednesday,
June 28 featuring the Canadian men?s fastball team, and a chance to purchase
an ultimate platinum weekend p ass just in time for Christmas purchases.
The national team exhibition doubleheader will be against the Kitchener
Twins, the host club for the 2006 International Softball Congress (ISC)
world championships. Also, Chair Brian Baillie announced that the
tournament, which will begin Canada Day weekend once again, will feature a
home run derby plus more to come.

The ?ultimate platinum? weekend pass is available for a limited time, or
advance ticket sales only, for just $55 - a $79 total value. Packages
include a weekend tournament pass, one ticket to both Friday and Saturday
night dances, one ticket for the beef barbecue and one ticket for the
Firemen?s brunch on the final day of the tournament. These packages are
available through advance ticket sales only until mid-June.

They are available the first week of December at Mackie?s - Outside the Box,
TJ?s Variety, Elma-Logan Arena or by calling Tim DeBlock, Kevin Quipp or
Tammy Machan.

Perfect as a Christmas gift, for that special someone.

As in the previous two years, local service groups that benefitted directly
from the financial proceeds include the Monkton Optimists, Monkton Lions,
Monkton Kinsmen, the Elma-Logan Fire Department, the Lutheran, United and
Presbyterian churches, the Monkton Figure Skating Club, Monkton Curling Club
and the Monkton Muskrats intermediate fastball team.

?All money raised stays in the community to be spread among all groups and
charities that each service club supports,? Baillie reiterated.
In addition to the money divided, the entire facility has seen a major
injection in upgrades and improvements, such as the lights and the diamond
itself, making it a premiere ?world class? ball park.
?More upgrades are to come,? he promised.
?We would like to thank all of our sponsors, both major and local, for their
steadfast support,? Baillie added.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Canada Completes Round Robin Undefeated
November 30th, 2005

(Ottawa) Canada defeated Mexico 6-0 at the VI Pan American Softball 
Championship,
wrapping up the round robin with a perfect six wins and no losses 
record.  Canada did
not give up a run in the round robin, outscoring their opponents 
40-0.  Canada begins
the playoff round tomorrow night at 9PM CST against Venezuela.

Head Coach Lori Sippel commented;? I was pleased with the players focus 
going into the
final Pool game against Mexico.  Having secured the #1 seed in Pool B 
yesterday may have
given reason for a let down but the team responded with a good effort 
today.  Robin
Mackin threw a no hitter and every starter contributed with a hit in this 
game.  Now it
is time for the part of the tournament that we came here for.  Tomorrow we 
face
Venezuela which in my opinion is one of the best teams in this 
Championship.  We will
definitely have our work cut out for us but I am certain the players are 
ready to
respond."

Robin Mackin (Newmarket, Ontario) threw a no-hitter on her way to her 
second win at the
VI Pan American Softball Championship.  Mackin recorded 13 strikeouts, 
allowed five
walks, hit one batter in seven innings pitched.

Sheena Lawrick (Calgary, AB) had a double and a single, Janiva Willis 
(Irsihtown, BC)
and Eric McLean both hit triples.

Canada produced all of its runs in the first three innings of the 
game.  With the score
2-0 after two innings, Megan Timpf (Port Dover, ON) led off the third with 
a single.
Willis then tripled down the right field line scoring Timpf.  Cindy Eadie 
(Brantford,
ON) followed up with a single scoring Willis who was at third.  Erin Gee 
(Vancouver, BC)
entered the game to pinch run for Eadie.  Gee made it to third on a Rachel 
Schill
(Kitchener, ON) infield single, then on a throwing error, Gee was able to 
score.  Kristy
Odamura (Richmond, BC) rounded out the scoring by driving in Schill with an 
RBI single,
making the score 6-0 after three innings of play.

Two wins for Black Sox in contrasting games
Saturday December 3rd 2005

Power hitting has seen the New Zealand Community Trust Black Sox take two 
wins today over Samoa at Norana Avenue Ballpark, Auckland.

In contrasting fixtures the opening game of the series went the way of the 
Black Sox 13-2 in five innings. But the second game was a whole lot closer 
with the game going down to the bottom of the seventh inning before the 
Black Sox could score the winning run to take the game 6-5.

Home run hitting was a feature of game one as the Black Sox took the lead 
in the second inning via an automatic over the centre field fence by 
Patrick Shannon. This was followed up in the next inning when Daniel Milne 
repeated the dose smashing the ball over the left field fence.

The defining moment of the game came in the fourth inning as the Black Sox 
displayed their true hitting power scoring 11 runs. Features of the hitting 
were two consecutive home runs by returning Black Sox Travis Wilson, a 
second automatic of the game to Patrick Shannon while outfielder Stacy 
McLean also collected an automatic over the right field fence.

Samoa replied with two runs of their own in the top of the fifth innings 
but it wasn?t enough and the game ended in the fifth inning with the mercy 
rule invoked as the Black Sox held an 11 run advantage.

On the mound Black Sox captain Jarrad Martin had control of the game he 
faced 19 batters giving up three hits and one walk while taking two 
strikeouts. Samoa used three pitchers on the mound as they tried to stop 
the flow of runs.

Heinie Shannon started the game, he faced 21 batters conceding eight hits 
and one walk while taking five strikeouts. Gerard Long came into the game 
in the fourth inning but he couldn?t contain the Black Sox hitters as the 
first batter he faced was Patrick Shannon and he hit the ball out of the 
park. David Gollan relieved Long of the mound to close out the fourth inning.

Game two of the double header was a much tighter affair as the world 
champion Black Sox had to come from behind to take the victory. Samoa took 
the early advantage in the third inning when Tony Niu, Bradley Annandale 
and Kurt Allan all crossed home plate.

The Black Sox replied with interest in the fourth inning when lead off 
hitter Lyndon Andrew singled and then came home on an automatic by Gus 
Leger. This was followed by another automatic this time off the bat of 
Black Sox debutant Corey Matakatea to level up the scores.

The Kiwis hit the lead for the first time in the game when Travis Wilson 
continued his fine hitting form again smashing the ball over the fence this 
time with Thomas Makea on base to give the Black Sox a two run advantage.

Down but not out the Samoan team struck straight back scoring two runs of 
their own in the fifth inning to level up the scores again. That is how 
things stayed until the bottom of the seventh inning when with two down 
Lyndon Andrew picked up a walk and then scored on a hit by Gus Leger to 
centre field.

Given the tight nature of the game Black Sox coach Eddie Kohlhase was 
forced to dig deep into his pitching reserves using three hurlers in the game.

Tane Richardson started the game and faced 15 batters taking two strikeouts 
while giving up five hits. Thomas Cameron was introduced into the game in 
the third inning and he pitched two innings facing eight batters and giving 
up two hits. Veteran Black Sox pitcher Marty Grant closed out the game 
after being introduced to the mound in the sixth inning. He faced seven 
batters picking up two strikeouts while giving up one hit.

For Samoa teenage pitcher Penese Iosefo started the game and he held the 
Black Sox hitters during the early innings. He faced 17 batters giving up 
five hits and two runs. David Gollan came into the game as relief pitcher 
for Samoa in the fourth inning and he faced 17 batters giving up three 
walks and two hits while taking two strikeouts.

While the games may have been contrasting Black Sox coach Eddie Kohlhase 
was happy with the performance of his side as they scored 19 runs in two 
games with the only concern being the conceding of five runs in the second 
game.

?During the series we are looking to field four different teams over the 
four games and it is all about combinations. I am pretty happy, we have got 
a little bit to work on in terms of our pitcher/catcher combinations but we 
scored 19 runs today and you have got to be happy with that,? said Kohlhase.

With two wins today in the four game series Kohlhase says the team will be 
looking to repeat the effort tomorrow at Rosedale Park, North Harbour and 
make it a clean sweep of the series.

Black Sox send the ball out of the park
Sunday December 4th

Samoa needed fielders outside of the diamond in game three of the series 
against the New Zealand Community Trust Black Sox at Rosedale Park, North 
Harbour this morning.

The Black Sox claimed their third win of the series with a 7-1 victory over 
Samoa. Of the seven runs six came courtesy of home runs.

Black Sox lead off hitter Thomas Makea set the tone for the game in the 
bottom of the first inning when he sent the third pitch he faced over the 
centre field fence. In the bottom of the second inning Lyndon Andrew 
repeated the effort of Makea with the second home run of the game.

Travis Wilson continued the home run hitting in the bottom of the third 
inning with a shot over the centre field fence before Daniel Milne added 
another in the next inning. The home run hitting dried up in the fifth 
inning when designated player Corey Matakatea singled and then scored on a 
hit by Fabian Makea.

The Black Sox weren?t done with the home run hitting though with the bats 
back in action in the sixth inning as Travis Wilson smashed his second home 
run of the game this time with Thomas Makea on base.

Samoa could only manage to pull one run back in the sixth inning when Kurt 
Allan scored on a double by Duane Gerard.

As his batters were doing the damage with the bat Black Sox pitcher Thomas 
Cameron kept a lid on the Samoan hitters. Cameron faced 27 batters taking 
five strikeouts while giving up three hits and three walks.

For Samoa pitcher Heinie Shannon started the game and did a good job but he 
could not contain the home run hitting power of the Black Sox. Shannon 
faced 16 batters giving up four hits, one intentional walk and three runs 
while taking two strikeouts.

Jerome Smith was introduced into the game in the fourth inning relieving 
Shannon on the mound but he couldn?t stop the flow of runs. Smith faced 16 
batters giving up seven hits, two walks and four runs.
The Black Sox and Samoa meet again in the final game of the series at 
1.30pm with the world champion Black Sox looking to make it a clean sweep.

Black Sox make clean sweep of series
Sunday December 4th 2005

The world champion New Zealand Community Trust Black Sox have completed a 
4-0 clean sweep of their series against Samoa today with two more wins at 
Rosedale Park, North Harbour.

With bat in hand the Black Sox have been impressive this weekend collecting 
37 runs across the four games while conceding only eight.

In game four of the series this afternoon the Black Sox were relentless as 
they defeated Samoa 11-0 in five innings scoring runs consistently.

The Black Sox scored five runs in their first at bat and then added two 
more in the second inning, another two in the third and two more in the 
fifth to close out the game.

Features of the hitting included a big home run over the centre field fence 
by Stacy McLean while Thomas Makea, Patrick Shannon and Gus Leger all 
picked up two hits in the game.

While the Black Sox hitters were relentless pitcher Marty Grant was just as 
strong on the mound as he denied the Samoan batters any chances. Grant 
faced 23 batters taking eight strikeouts while giving up five hits and one 
walk.

The pitching story was not as positive for the Samoans as they couldn?t 
contain the power hitting of the Black Sox. Penese Iosefo started the game 
on the mound for Samoa and faced just six batters giving up four hits and 
five runs.

David Gollan replaced Iosefo on the mound in the first inning and he faced 
26 batters giving up five hits, three walks and six runs.

In the first game of the day today the Black Sox were just as convincing 
winning 7-1 with a feature of that game being the home run hitting of the 
Kiwis. The Black Sox hit five home runs in the game with Travis Wilson the 
star with two.

Today?s victories come on the back of two earlier wins over the Samoans at 
Norana Avenue Ballpark, Auckland yesterday.

Looking back on the four match series Black Sox coach Eddie Kohlhase is a 
happy man but is under no illusions about the work their still is to do.

?The guys showed outstanding offensive power the whole weekend. We scored a 
lot of runs and defended well against a pretty gritty and determined Samoan 
side. The guys were most disappointed with the eight runs that we gave away 
in the series. The task for us now is to work on our defence and make that 
stronger to match the offensive power this team has,? said Kohlhase.

Looking at stand out players Kohlhase singled out returning Black Sox 
infielder Travis Wilson who proved lethal with the bat all weekend while 
also playing well defensively at second base.

?Travis hit five home runs and they were big home runs, and he played 
really well defensively in the field, he was a huge factor for this team.?

With a 4-0 clean sweep against Samoa Kohlhase and his selection panel are 
now looking ahead to the Commonwealth Cup to be played in Melbourne in late 
January.

Kohlhase will name his squad for that series on December 19th with the 
coach suggesting there could be a number of changes to the squad as the 
selection panel look to give players from the wider Black Sox training 
squad a chance to show what they can do.

December 3rd, 2005

(Ottawa) Canada?s Women?s National team defeated Venezuela 10-0 at the VI 
Pan American

Lauren Bay (Trail, BC) got the start for Canada, making her first

on in relief.

Cindy Eadie (Brantford, ON) led off the 2nd inning with a single, followed 
by a Brittany
Freight (Las Vegas, NV) double.  With two on, Kristy Odamura (Richmond, BC) 
loaded the
bases with an infield single.  Sheena Lawrick (Calgary, AB) drove in two 
runs on a
grounder to the short stop that was misplayed allowing Eadie and Freight to 
cross home
plate.  Odamura continued the assault by scoring on a wild pitch.  Alison 
Bradley
(Pinkerton, ON) followed up with an RBI single that brought home 
Lawrick.  The inning
was not over as Erin Cumpstone (Saskatoon, SK) reached on an error by the 
Venezuelan
third baseman, Megan Timpf (Port Dover, ON) then re-loaded the bases with a 
walk.
Bradley would make it 5-0 when she scored on a wild pitch.

Canada added three more runs in the 3rd inning and one more in the 4th  and

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Canada Downed by USA; Comes Home with Silver
December 3rd, 2005

(Ottawa) Softball Canada?s Women?s National team was defeated 2-0 in the 
championship
game by the United States and was awarded the silver medal at the VI Pan 
American
Softball Championship in Guatemala City, Guatemala.

Head Coach Lori Sippel commented on the event. ?We had two goals coming 
into this
tournament.  First was to qualify for the World Championships and second 
was to do so by
winning this tournament.  We did indeed qualify for the Wolrds but we fell 
short of the
championship.  The players? response to losing the final was one that I 
will take with
me into the New Year.  They knew they had a good tournament yet I could see 
that they
were already making plans to be better next time they found themselves in a 
championship
game."

In what was a great pitchers dual, Lauren Bay (Trail, BC) held the powerful 
American
lineup to only two runs on four hits.  USA starter Jamie Southern held 
Canada to one hit
and no runs.  Bay struck out ten batters while Southern struck out five.

The only runs of the game were scored in the bottom of the 3rd 
inning.  With runners on
the corners, Natasha Watley advanced to second base on a pass 
ball.  Jessica Mendoza
then grounded out to second base, however Jenny Topping was able to score 
and Watley
moved to third base.  Watley would score the final run of the game on a 
wild pitch.

This is the 26th Annual Bob Rapp Memorial Fastpitch Tournament
celebrating
the memory of a great local Hawaii pitcher who passed away on
the mound
while doing what he loved to do. There is already a commitment
from 2
Japanese Teams and a California team. The Hilo A's (defending
Tournament
Champs) will have the services of World Class throwers Colin
MacKenzie and
Robbie O'Brien and the catching prowess of brother Shaun O'Brien.
One of the
Japanese Teams is Waseda University featuring Japanese National
Team
pitcher, Yukinori Nakashima. Waseda recently won the NAFA 2005
AA World
Series.

There are about 6 local Hawaii Teams and hopefully more mainland
squads will
get the itch to leave the Winter doldrums and play ball in paradise.
Hilo,
Hawaii is a less-touristed, fishing industrial port town located
on the Big
Island (aka The island of Hawaii) about 35 minutes from Volcano
National
Park. An inter-island flight of 35 minutes from Honolulu gets
you there. It
is a lush verdant area with waterfalls and awesome nature. The
locals guys
have great hospitality (aloha) and will have barbecues galore.
The Kona
Coast is located about an hour and a half on the other side of
the Island is
home to world class resorts, beaches and golf courses. Whale
watching will
also be in season during February.

Come check out the local Hawaiian flavor!

Aloha,

P.S. I'll be coming out of retirement to suit up with the Hilo
A's.

The ISC Forum - - Another Communication Tool for All

In a continuing effort to improve communication between the ISC
and players, managers and fans, we are announcing an experimental
forum from the ISC web site.  Internet forums are a very popular
service right now and there are numerous ones being used, most
based on geographical location.  

In offering our own forum from our own web site, we feel this
gives everyone a central forum on which they can submit ideas
and recommendations to the ISC.  Currently, if a good idea is
proposed on the Illinois site (for example) chances are the player
in Newfoundland will never see it.  And vice versa.	

The ISC forum is not designed to discourage use of other forums
but rather as a focal point for discussing mutual issues and
especially to get new ideas in the hands of ISC Board of Director
members who can evaluate, further discuss with the author or
pass it on to the proper ISC Committee chairman.

Our forum is intended to be functional, not just for entertainment
purposes.  ISC personnel will regularly monitor the forum for
both recommendations as well as propriety of postings.

This forum project was developed mutually by Al Doran and Jim
Flanagan.  We extend our sincere thanks to each of them for the
time and effort each has put into this project, bringing it to
life.

With the new ISC forum, individuals now have three primary methods
of communicating ideas and thoughts directly with the ISC:
1.	Comments on the ISC Forum
2.	Submissions directly to any member of ISC Board of Directors
(Commissioners)
3.	Submissions directly to any ISC Player Rep

All ISC personnel are shown in the annual World Championship
Guide and at http://www.iscfastpitch.com/webstartme/person.htm	
on the ISC web site.

Fastball news, announcements, information, and items of general
interest should be posted to Al?s Fastball, (fastball at pmihrm.com)
to ensure the widest distribution possible.  If you post a note
in the ISC Forum regarding such information, please include a

Finals spot up for grabs in men?s national league
Wednesday December 7th 2005




With only one weekend of round robin play to go in the New ZealandCommunity
Trust men?s National League the fight for top four finals spotsis
reaching the crunch.

While Wellington, North Harbour and Auckland all look to have
bookedtheir place in the finals series the last top four spot
is wide open withthe remaining three teams in the league all
capable of making the topfour if they taste success this weekend.

Going into the last weekend of round robin play Hutt Valley sit
in fourthplace on the points table but they have a tough schedule
ahead of them intheir final four games as they take on Wellington
and Auckland twice atFraser Park, Lower Hutt and have to pick
up some wins too keep theirfinals chances alive.

Another side with a shot at the top for is Southern Pride who
have hadmixed results in the opening rounds of the league. They
had an unbeatenstart to the league on the first weekend but backed
that up with thestring of defeats in week two. With only four
games of round robin playleft for the Southern men they will
have to find that winning form againthis weekend if they are
to qualify for the top four finals series.

For this weekend Southern Pride play Central Vikings twice and
NorthHarbour twice at Hataitai Park, Wellington. From those games
the Southernside will be looking for at least two wins and hopefully
some bonuspoints while also relying on Hutt Valley to lose their
games this weekendif the Southern men are to qualify for the
top four for the first time inthe franchises? history.

Central Vikings sit at the bottom of the points table and while
they havea mathematical chance of making the top four it will
be a big ask. Thisweekend Central Vikings play Southern Pride
in a double header and theywould have to win both of those games
and then rely on other resultsgoing their way if they were to
qualify for finals weekend. 

While the bottom three teams battle it out to stay in the competition
thetop three sides Wellington, North Harbour and Auckland can
book theirtickets now for the finals series and will be using
the games thisweekend to work on combinations and build some
momentum ahead of thefinals.

Saturday December 10th
1.00pm Central Vikings v Southern Pride, Hataitai Park, Wellington.
1.00pm Hutt Valley v Auckland, Fraser Park, Lower Hutt.
3.00pm Central Vikings v Southern Pride, Hataitai Park, Wellington.

With one weekend of round robin play to go in the New Zealand
CommunityTrust Women?s National League the top four sides have
been already beenfound for the finals series.

While finals spots may be secure this weekend will still be important
forthe sides as they look for a high placing in the top four
which wouldresult in a more favourable draw for finals weekend.

Going into this weekend Hutt Valley, Auckland, Wellington and
CentralVikings will be jostling for positions and any advantage
they can getahead of the finals series.

Defending champions Hutt Valley currently sit at the top of the
pointstable tied with Auckland and these two sides will meet
this weekend withwho ever comes out on top there likely to go
into finals weekend with thenumber one placing.

Hutt Valley coach Naomi Shaw says while the trophies won?t be
awardedthis weekend the games this weekend are still important
as her side looksfor the number one spot after round robin play.

?We are aware that we have some tough games ahead of us with
Auckland andWellington. We want some good performances leading
into the semis andfinals, it is important for us to establish
a high benchmark and maintainit,? said Shaw.

the neednot to look too far ahead and rather than focus on the
finals is moreconcerned about this weekend.

?We take it one game at a time and try and play the best we can
in everygame and not look too far ahead. I think the competition
is very even andall of the top four teams on a good day can take
the title so it isimportant for us that we perform well in every
game.?

Belgium

Received your contact details by Bill Billhouse who told me you would be 
able too 'help' us on below subject.

As a member of the Belgium National team we're also trying to compete with 
the best in Europe. Reason for this post is we are trying to find out if 
somewhere out there (US, Canada, Asia, whatsoever) we have a talented 
pitcher/player walking around - BUT with a belgian passport or at least 
some belgian background. Like the GB team are having Canadians and even 
Kiwi's playing for them at the Europeans - maybe in someway we have a 
belgian walking around who's willing to play for us at the European Champs 
2007 and maybe even the Worlds afterwards. If one of u reading has any 
further info one am issue - thanks to get in contact.

thank u very much in advance

Southern Pride blast into men's top four + W/P L/P
Saturday December 10th

A double dose of victory today for Southern Pride has propelled them into 
the top four in the New Zealand Community Trust Men?s National league with 
one day of round robin play still to go.

Going into the final weekend of round robin play Southern Pride were in 
fifth spot on the points table but two wins today over Central Vikings at 
Hataitai Park, Wellington has lifted them into finals contention.

The top four sides after round robin play will contest the finals series 
next weekend and after today?s results Southern Pride are on the verge of 
making the finals for the first time in the franchises history.

It was a scratchy win in the first game of the day for Southern Pride as 
they defeated Central Vikings 3-0. Stand out performer for the Southern men 
was pitcher Michael Gaiger who was elusive on the mound. Gaiger faced 25 
batters giving up just three walks and no hits while taking a massive 15 
strikeouts.

While Gaiger was dominant on the mound the Southern sides hitters were 
doing just enough with the bat as first Derryn French scored in the third 
inning and then Bevan Passmore and Louis Joglor both scored in the fourth 
inning on a home run over the centre field fence by Joglor.

While his side tasted defeat Central Vikings pitcher John Hireme put in a 
strong performance on the mound he faced 28 batters picking up seven strike 
outs while giving up eight hits and two walks.

The second game of the double header was a lot tighter before Southern 
Pride came out on top 5-4.

Central Vikings took the early lead in the game scoring in the first inning 
and then went further ahead in the second inning with another two runs.

While the Southern side were down in the game they weren?t out for the 
count as in the bottom of the second inning they pulled the bats out of the 
bag and smashed five runs courtesy of three home runs off the bats of Nigel 
Kelly, Bevan Passmore and Louis Joglor.

Central Vikings kept fighting in the game and they went close pulling back 
one run in the fifth inning but it wasn?t enough allowing Southern Pride 
take out the win 5-4.

On the mound Leiws Acker threw a winning game for Southern Pride he faced 
31 batters giving up six hits and three walks while taking two strikeouts. 
For Central Vikings Penese Iosefo was the man on the mound he faced 37 
batters giving up nine hits and one walk and taking five strikeouts.

The other side in contention for the top four is Hutt Valley  and they 
started the day well with an upset victory over Auckland 3-1. But they 
couldn?t maintain that form in the second game of the double header as they 
then went down to Auckland 3-0.

The top four in the men?s national league will be finalised tomorrow at the 
completion of round robin play. And the crucial games tomorrow will see 
Southern Pride playing North Harbour twice and Hutt Valley taking on the 
defending champions Wellington in a double header.

Auckland break defending champs unbeaten run + W/P L/P
Saturday December 10th

Auckland have handed the defending champions Hutt Valley their first defeat 
in the New Zealand Community Trust women?s National League today with a 2-1 
win at Fraser Park, Lower Hutt.

Winning pitcher Helen Packer was the stand out performer in the game as she 
pitched her team to the win and also scored both of her side?s runs.

On the mound Packer faced 25 batters and gave up just two hits, three walks 
and one run while taking two strikeouts. With the bat Packer hit a 
sacrifice fly to left field to score Auckland?s first run and then picked 
up a double to left field in the sixth inning to score the winning run.

Auckland took the early advantage in their first at bat when lead off 
hitter Mereana Tobenhouse scored on the sacrifice by Packer after 
originally getting on base via a walk.

Hutt Valley struck back with their only run of the game in the third inning 
as Lici Hina scampered home on a fielding error after getting on base with 
a single to centre field.

The defining moment of the game came in the sixth inning when lead off 
hitter for Auckland Tania Misa singled to centre field before scoring on a 
hit by Packer.

While Packer was strong on the mound for Auckland Hutt Valley pitcher Jana 
Vacikova was also in dominant form she faced 24 batters giving up three 
hits, two walks and two runs while taking five strikeouts.

The winning run continued for Auckland later in the day as they defeated 
Central Vikings in comprehensive fashion 7-0 to maintain their unbeaten run 
in the league.

While Hutt Valley have had their unbeaten record broken today it wasn?t all 
bad news for the defending champions as earlier in the day they defeated 
Wellington 8-1. The results were all bad for the team from the capital 
though as along with the loss to Hutt Valley they also suffered a 2-0 
defeat against Central Vikings.

Southern Pride men secure top four spot
Sunday December 11th 2005

Community Trust Men?s National League today by qualifying for the top four

The Southern side secured their top four spot with an upset 5-3 win over 
North Harbour at Hataitai Park this morning.

The hero today for Southern Pride was Matthew Telfer who won the game for 
the southern men when in the bottom of the sixth inning when he smashed the 
ball over the left field fence with a runner on base to give his side a two 
run advantage and break a 3-3 deadlock.

In a tight game the scoring started in the first at bat when North Harbour 
led off with two runs before Southern Pride replied with three runs of 
their own in the bottom of the inning. North Harbour added one more run in 
the second inning to level up the scores and that is how it remained until

Auckland women take unbeaten record into finals
Sunday December 11th 2005

Hutt Valley. The winning of the game for Auckland came in just the first 
inning when they picked up two runs with lead off batter Atsuko Tanaka and

no further scoring in the game.

batters giving up three hits and one run while taking nine strikeouts. Jana

Auckland as the team picked up 15 hits with the stand out performers being 
Amanda Preston with four hits and Fiona Timu with three hits.

The results today weren?t all bad for the defending champions Hutt Valley 
today as they came from behind to defeat Wellington 6-2. Hutt Valley won 
the game in the top of the seventh inning scoring four runs on the back of 
seven hits. Wellington had the right of reply in the bottom of the inning 
but the team from the capital didn?t fire with the bat giving Hutt Valley

Defence may hold key to men's national league title
Wednesday December 14th 2005

Defence and the ability to deny runs could provide the key to victory this 
weekend in the New Zealand Community Trust National League finals at 
Hataitai Park, Wellington.

Going into the finals the top four teams Wellington, Auckland, North 
Harbour and Southern Pride all boast batting line ups that can tear a game 
open so winning the title  could come down to defence. As the sides cancel 
each other out with run scoring ability the crucial aspect of the games 
this weekend could come down to the ability of the teams to deny their 
opposition the opportunity to score.

Pitching depth could prove vital and two teams Auckland and Wellington 
appear to have the advantage there as each team has two genuine 
international class pitchers to call on.

Defending champs Wellington boast the services of NZCT Black Sox 
internationals Marty Grant and Tane Richardson while Auckland has fellow 
internationals Thomas Cameron and Heinie Shannon on the mound.

For Southern Pride coach, Glen Roff, just making the finals has achieved 
his sides main goal for the season as it will be the first time in the 
franchises history that they have qualified for the finals series.

"The team are really happy. It has been a hard road the last four years so 
we are savouring every win.  It is really good for the guys who have been 
there since the start in 2003 to finally get some success because they have 
been through some hard times," said Roff.

However now they have booked their place in the finals Roff says they will 
not be there just to make up the numbers with his team heading to the 
capital with winning on their mind.

"Going into the finals we are looking to be the spoilers and upset some of 
the other teams."

To be successful this weekend Roff believes all his team need to do is 
continue what they have been doing. In the final weekend of round robin 
play Southern Pride picked up three wins from four games including a win 
over fellow top four side North Harbour.

While Southern Pride have made the finals for the first time host side 
Wellington have been there every season of the national league and go into 
this weekend as the defending champions and top seeds after finishing round 
robin play at the top of the points table.

With the advantage of a home crowd backing them, depth on the pitching 
mound and an arsenal of power batting to call on Wellington are going to be 
tough to beat. However they did suffer two losses in round robin play so 
there are some chinks in the armour.

One team who knows how to win a national league title is Auckland having 
claimed it twice in the past before losing it for the first time to 
Wellington last season. Like the team from the capital, Auckland have all 
the talent, experience and ability to come out on top with the key being 
whether they can bring it all together under pressure when it really counts.

North Harbour are the other team in the top four and they will go into this 
weekend with the confidence of having recorded a win over all the teams in 
the finals series during round robin play.

A key factor in the success of the Harbour side will be the performance of 
NZCT Black Sox captain and pitcher Jarrad Martin. North Harbour has the 
hitting strength to out hit any team but will need a big performance from 
Martin on the mound if they are to be serious contenders for the title.

The battle for the NZCT Men's National League title gets under way on 
Saturday at Hataitai Park, Wellington with the top four sides playing off 
to find two sides to contest the final on Sunday afternoon at 2pm.

Finals Draw:

Saturday December 17th
11.00am Game 1  Auckland v North Harbour, Hataitai Park, Wellington.
1.00pm  Game 2  Wellington v Southern Pride, Hataitai Park, Wellington.
3.00pm  Game 3  Loser Game 1 v Loser Game 2, Hataitai Park, Wellington.
5.00pm  Game 4  Winner Game 1 v Winner Game 2, Hataitai Park, Wellington.

Top women seeds have point to prove
Wednesday December 14th 2005



When the finals series for the New Zealand Community Trust Women's National 
League was played out last season the Auckland team were nowhere to be seen 
having missed out on a place in the top four.

It is a different story this time around though with Auckland going into 
the top four playoffs this weekend at Hataitai Park, Wellington as the top 
seeds on the back of an unbeaten record in round robin play.

Auckland coach Nardi Leonard says this season in the national league has 
been all about setting the record straight and putting the disappointment 
of poor performances last season behind them.

Looking back at last season compared to the performances over recent weeks 
Leonard says the difference is the attitude of the players and their desire 
to succeed.

"There is a really positive attitude from the players and they want to 
perform well and there are quite a few in the picture for the NZCT White 
Sox and they know the world championships are just around the corner so 
they are putting in a lot of effort," said Leonard.

Despite their unbeaten record so far in the league Leonard is very aware 
that it counts for little this weekend.

"History means absolutely nothing and that is why consistency in 
performance is so important because every team in the finals series has the 
potential to take the title."

While Auckland may have their eye on the title, defending champions Hutt 
Valley are not ready to give it up without a fight. During round robin play 
the team from the Valley suffered two losses both against Auckland by the 
same 2-1 score line so there is not a lot between the two teams.

Hutt Valley will have the services of Jana Vacikova on the mound. The Czech 
Republic pitcher has been a bit of a surprise package in the national 
league having never pitched in New Zealand before.

Hutt Valley coach Naomi Shaw selected Vacikova sight unseen on the advice 
of others and that has turned out to be an inspired decision given her 
ability to deny runs.
The strength of Vacikova's pitching coupled with the hitting power of the 
likes of Upu Lote, Nadia Mauriohooho and Api Stone O'Kane Hutt Valley 
provides the potential to break the unbeaten record of Auckland.

Rounding out the top four are Wellington and Central Vikings who while 
having made the finals series have struggled during round robin play 
against the top two sides Auckland and Hutt Valley.

However round robin results count for little this weekend and both 
Wellington and Central Vikings will be looking to cause a few upsets and 
push hard for a spot in the final.

Both Wellington and Central Vikings have the hitting depth to cause an 
upset but will be relying heavily on the performance of their number one 
pitchers. Wellington have NZCT White Sox pitcher Lisa Such while Central 
Vikings will call on the services of fellow international Michal Tangaroa.

The battle for the NZCT Women's National League title gets under way on 
Saturday at Hataitai Park, Wellington with the top four sides playing off 
to find two sides to contest the final on Sunday afternoon at 12pm.

Finals Draw:

Saturday December 17th
11.00am Game 1  Auckland v Central Vikings, Hataitai Park, Wellington.
1.00pm  Game 2  Hutt Valley v Wellington, Hataitai Park, Wellington.
3.00pm  Game 3  Looser Game 1 v Looser Game 2, Hataitai Park, Wellington.
5.00pm  Game 4  Winner Game 1 v Winner Game 2, Hataitai Park, Wellington.

Sunday December 18th
10.00am Game 5  Winner Game 3 v Looser Game 4, Hataitai Park, Wellington.
12.00pm Final   Winner Game 4 v Winner Game 5, Hataitai Park, Wellington.

The Bar of Appleton is currently searching for a pitcher for the upcoming 
2006 season.  The Bar is an ISC II / NAFA AA tournament team.  We are 
looking for a young man who is interested in spending the summer in 
Wisconsin beginning in early May and staying until the NAFA World Series in 
late August.

We have provided an excellent opportunity for young pitchers to come to the 
United States and gain exposure.  Some of our past players have made the 
step up to the ISC World tournament we have had at least 5 current players 
play in world tournaments and numerous former players move up to the higher 
levels.  In fact two of our current players are playing in New Zealand to 
prepare for the upcoming season.

The Bar of Appleton is looking to rebound from a dissappointing season in 
2005.  We need a pitcher who will be committed to our team and follow 
through on their word.  Last year we had a pitcher jump ship on us less 
than two weeks before the season began, which through our entire season 
into disarray.

We have competed in both ISC level tournaments at the Grafmeier 
Invitational in Kimberly, The Boys of summer at Circle Tap and are looking 
to play at this level again in the upcoming season.  We placed 3rd in the 
2004 Tournament of Champions and 5th at the 2005 NAFA Open World Series in 
Mankato.

Please feel free to contact me at tschaaf(at)kimberly.k12.wi.us to discuss 
living arrangements and job possibilities for the summer.  I may also be 
reached at 920-470-8908 cell.

Hutt women hit there way into NZCT National League final
Saturday December 17th 2005

Consistent hitting today has booked the defending champions Hutt Valley a 
place in the New Zealand Community Trust women?s National League final.

Hutt Valley won direct entry into tomorrow?s final with a 6-3 defeat in the 
playoff game against the previously unbeaten Auckland side.

Hutt Valley set  up the win in the bottom of the fourth inning when lead 
off hitter Api Stone-O?Kane singled to left field and scored on a triple by 
Okawa Preist. Following that Preist then scored on a pass ball to give the 
defending champions a two run advantage.

Behind on the scoreboard and under pressure in the field Auckland began to 
make mistakes and Hutt Valley made them pay. In the bottom of the fifth 
inning the defending champions scored another two runs when Upu Lote and 
Shirley Povey scored via a combination of hits and fielding errors.

Hutt Valley stretched their lead further with another two runs in the sixth 
inning when Nadia Mauriohooho scampered home on a triple by Upu Lote who 
then came home on a hit by Kylee Young.

Down by six runs Auckland refused to give up though picking up three runs 
in their final at bat when Casey Roper and Atsuku Tanaka both scored on a 
hit by Fiona Timu. Followed by Tania Misa who came home on a fielder?s 
choice.  However it was a case of too little too late and Hutt Valley ran 
out the winners 6-3.

On the mound for Hutt Valley Jana Vacikova faced 34 batters giving up 10 
hits and four walks while taking six strikeouts.

For Auckland Carina Hale started the game on the mound and she faced 21 
batters giving up nine hits while taking one strikeout. Hale was replaced 
in the fifth inning by Helen Packer who faced 14 batters giving up seven 
hits and one walk.

In other results from finals day today the home team Wellington have been 
eliminated from the title race on the back of two defeats. The team from 
the capital lost their opening game today against the defending champions 
Hutt Valley 4-2 and followed that up with a 1-0 loss against Central 
Vikings in the elimination playoff game.

While Wellington may be out Central Vikings have kept their finals chances 
alive with their win over Wellington and they will go on to play Auckland 
tomorrow at 10am with the winner of that game earning the right to take on 
Hutt Valley in the final at 12pm.

  Harbour too hot to handle in men?s national league



Harbour too hot to handle in men?s national league
Saturday December 17th 2005

North Harbour has upset the form book today and power hit themselves into 
the final of the New Zealand Community Trust men?s National League final.

Coming into the finals weekend North Harbour were placed third but it 
counted for nothing today as first they defeated second placed Auckland 4-2 
and then out hit the defending champions Wellington 10-6 to win their way 
through to the final.

Leading the charge for North Harbour today has been New Zealand Community 
Trust Black Sox captain Jarrad Martin who smashed a three run homer in the 
sixth inning against Auckland to win the game and then powered two home 
runs against Wellington.

Against Auckland North Harbour had to come from behind to take the win as 
Auckland held the lead throughout the game until the sixth inning when 
Martin smashed the ball out of the park to give his side a 4-2 win.

In the national league last season Martin pitched Wellington to the title 
but this season the Black Sox captain is turning out in the North Harbour 
colours and today in the playoff game against his old side Martin made the 
team from the capital pay.

The playoff game between North Harbour and Wellington was one of power 
hitting the tone for the game was set in the top of the first inning when 
lead off hitter for Wellington Thomas Makea smashed the second pitch of the 
game over the centre field fence.

Wellington team mate Steven Ratu matched that effort in his first at bat 
when he fired the ball over the left field fence. That hit along with two 
further runs in the first inning put Wellington out to a 4-0 advantage 
after just one at bat.

However while Wellington started the game on fire with the bat so did North 
Harbour and in the bottom of the first inning they scored two runs with 
Jarrad Martin and Brad Rona both hitting the ball out of the park.

Martin picked up his second home run of the game in the third inning and 
that combined to another home run to Scott Higgins with a runner on base 
gave Harbour a one run advantage.

Wellington levelled the scores in the fifth inning but it didn?t last for 
long as Harbour scored another run in the bottom of the inning and then 
added four more in the sixth to wrap up the game.

The defending champions tried to stage a late comeback in their last at bat 
but they could only manage one run allowing North Harbour to take out the 
game 10-6 to secure a place in the national league final for the first time 
in the franchises history.

Along with damaging Wellington with the bat Martin was also in control on 
the mound for North Harbour as he faced 35 batters giving up 10 hits and 
four walks while taking four strikeouts.

It was a tough day on the mound for the Wellington hurlers Marty Grant 
started the game and he faced 17 batters giving up six hits and five runs. 
Grant was replaced in the third inning by Tane Richardson but he couldn?t 
stop the flow of runs Richardson faced 17 batters giving up four hits and 
one walk while giving up five runs.

While North Harbour may have booked their place in the final it is a 
different story for Southern Pride who dropped out of title contention 
today on the back of two losses. Just by making the top four playoffs the 
southern was an achievement as it was the first time in the franchises 
history that they have reached the finals series.

But they couldn?t continue their winning run from round robin play into the 
finals today they lost their opening game against the defending champions 
Wellington 5-3 and then lost the elimination match against Auckland 13-4.

On the back of today?s results the defending champions Wellington will play 
Auckland at 10am tomorrow morning with the winner of that game going on to 
play North Harbour in the final at 2pm.

North Harbour claim men?s national league title
Sunday December 18th 2005

What a difference a season makes. Last season North Harbour couldn?t even 
make the New Zealand Community Trust Men?s National League top four 
playoffs  this season however they are champions.

The difference between the old North Harbour team and the new one is the 
acquisition of one man, NZCT Black Sox captain Jarrad Martin. North Harbour 
coach Neil Morrison has few problems agreeing Martin is the difference 
between his team finishing fifth as they did sixth months ago and winning 
it this season.

North Harbour won the national league title at Hataitai Park, Wellington 
today with a victory in the final over the home side and defending 
champions Wellington 5-1.

Morrison says Martin brings so much to the team because he delivers on the 
mound as a pitcher and then backs that up with the bat and the amount of 
home runs and hits he delivers for the team.

?Jarrad was named MVP and there is no other person in the competition that 
deserves it he was truly deserving of the award. There are other players 
that have contributed with the bat but Jarrad is out their doing the job on 
the mound as well as hitting,? said Morrison.

North Harbour won the final on the back of two home runs. First Brad Rona 
smashed the ball over the left field fence in the fourth inning with Jarrad 
Martin on base. Then the defining moment of the game came in the bottom of 
the sixth inning when with two runners on North Harbour catcher Duane 
Jerard put the ball over the centre field fence to give his side an 
unbeatable lead.

The traditionally powerful Wellington hitting line up had few answers with 
the bat. The home team scored one run in the fifth inning when Damian 
McCulloch scored on a hit by John Stratford, but they couldn?t add to it 
and North Harbour ran out the winners 5-1.

At the start of the day when Morrison first named his line up it didn?t 
include home run hitting hero Brad Rona as he had suffered a sever injury 
playing on Saturday night to his lower leg that required 36 stitches. 
However following some advice from the senior players in the squad and the 
fact that Rona passed a fitness test just before the game he was included 
and certainly made an impact in the game.

North Harbour were always confident going into the final as they had 
already tasted victory against Wellington over the finals weekend with a 
convincing 10-6 win on Saturday night in the major semi final.

The national league title win is the first for the North Harbour franchise 
and Morrison says the victory while important for the players is also for 
the stalwarts and supporters of the North Harbour Softball Association who 
work so hard for the sport.

Looking back at the final Morrison believes what won the game for his side 
was maturity on the mound from Jarrad Martin and catcher Duane Jerard and 
then the three run homer in the sixth inning to Jerard to put the game out 
of reach for Wellington.

Auckland national league women?s champions second time around
Sunday December 18th 2005

The Auckland women?s softball team are back on top of the pack on the back 
of their victory in the final of the New Zealand Community Trust women?s 
National League at Hataitai Park, Wellington today.

Auckland won the final over the defending champions Hutt Valley 3-1 to 
claim their second national league title matching the one they picked up in 
2003 in the inaugural season of the event.

The title victory was a big turn around for Auckland who failed to even 
make the top four finals series of the national league last season.

Victorious Auckland coach Nardi Leonard believes the change in fortunes has 
been brought about by an attitude change and a desire to win.

Auckland went into the finals weekend unbeaten but they didn?t have 
everything their own way they lost the major playoff semi final against 
Hutt valley on Saturday night and then relied on a tie breaker victory over 
Central Vikings this morning to win their way through to the final.

In the final Auckland were always in control they scored the first run of 
the game in the top of the first inning when lead off hitter Atsuku Tanaka 
singled to centre field and scored on a hit by Fiona Timu.

Auckland went further ahead in the top of the third inning when Tania Misa 
picked up an in the park home run to the left field fence with Talilotu 
Tonu?u on base to give Auckland a three run advantage.

The defending champions Hutt Valley struck back with their only run of the 
game in the bottom of the third inning when Hiromi Sugiyama scampered home 
on a hit by Nadia Mauriohooho.

Hutt Valley had more chances in the game but they couldn?t convert them in 
the bottom of the seventh inning Hutt Valley gave it the last throw of the 
dice and loaded up the bases but they couldn?t turn it into runs.

On the mound Carina Hale closed the game out for Auckland she faced 29 
batters giving up five hits and three walks while taking seven strikeouts.

The crucial outs came in the bottom of the seventh inning when Hutt Valley 
loaded up the bases with none down but Hale turned the game striking out 
the next two batters and extinguishing Hutt Valley?s chances.

For Hutt valley Jana Vacikova was on the mound she faced 30 batters giving 
up five hits and one walk while taking two strikeouts.

Going into the national league this season Auckland coach Nardi Leonard had 
said this would be her swansong but after the game with a second national 
league title in her back pocket she agreed the prospect of a three peat 
could be too tantalising.

?It hasn?t been easy all the games against Hutt Valley have been really 
tough, I don?t think we were the absolute favourites that some people said 
we were. But in the final I think we had more self belief than Hutt Valley 
and we wanted to win it,? said Leonard.

Key performers for Auckland throughout the national league campaign have 
been captain Fiona Timu and outfielder Atsuku Tanaka. Leonard describes 
them as real role models in the team and quiet leaders leading from the front.

Perkasie, PA

The Rise Fastpitch Team is excited to announce our Roster for 2006. The 
Rise will be playing in the Mid-Atlantic Faspitch Travel League and 
numerous other tournaments, and are looking to qualify for the ISC II ToC 
in Kitchener, Ontario in August. We have made a few additions to last 
season's squad, and these players will provide the extra punch that will 
put us on top. We welcome to the fold:
    * <file:///C:/Documents and Settings/Tom/My Documents/My 
Webs/Risefastpitch2006/Profiles/savini.htm>Chip Savini manager - Chip comes 
to us bringing a wealth of fastball knowledge, managing and coaching at the 
Open level, most recently with the Quaker Riversharks. This will mark 
Chip's 37th year in fastpitch, and teams under his resume include the 
Reading Sunners, DC Tire, and the Can-Am Windmillers. Under his guidance at 
the Elkland Labor Day Tournament in '05, the Rise came away with their 1st 
tournament Championship. He joins 3 year Rise coach Charlie Mosser to 
extract the most out of the players.
    * <file:///C:/Documents and Settings/Tom/My Documents/My 
Webs/Risefastpitch2006/Profiles/smith.htm>Mike Smith pitcher - We are 
extremely happy that Mike has chosen to suit up in the Rise "Black and Red" 
for the '06 season. #8 is the complete player, and his accomplishments in 
the circle as well as at the plate are well documented. Mike has played for 
the Reading Sunners, D.C. Tire, Can-Am Windmillers, and most recently with 
the Quaker Riversharks, where he was limited to a handful of games spending 
time on the DL. The author of 350 career wins (including 30 no-hitters), 
Mike has been reclassified for ISC II play, and will be the 'go to' guy 
when we need to get down to business. He will also see some time at 3B.
    * <file:///C:/Documents and Settings/Tom/My Documents/My 
Webs/Risefastpitch2006/Profiles/daley.htm>Matt Daley shortstop - A 
sure-handed veteran of fastball wars, Matt brings a ton of experience to 
the Rise. Matt joined our club for the Elkland Tournament in '05 and was 
instrumental in the team winning the title. His resume includes D.C. Tire 
Roadrunners, Can-Am Windmillers, and the 'Sharks. His on-field leadership 
will prove invaluable to the mix.
    * <file:///C:/Documents and Settings/Tom/My Documents/My 
Webs/Risefastpitch2006/Profiles/mersereau.htm>Peter Mersereau pitcher - We 
thought we needed to add some youth to the circle, and we're excited to add 
Peter to the staff. A native of Hoyt, New Brunswick, Peter has an 
impressive Jr. record and is no stranger to tournament situations. By 
reports, he is a very capable hitter, and will be used in that 
capacity  when not on the mound. We're looking forward to what Peter will 
bring to the Rise.
    * <file:///C:/Documents and Settings/Tom/My Documents/My 
Webs/Risefastpitch2006/Profiles/roslin.htm>Joe Roslin coach/utility - A 
veteran player and coach, Joe will provide assistance to Chip and Charlie 
in running the on-field activities of the team. Very keen on strategy and 
situations, Joe can win games for you with his player positioning and 
over-all fastball knowledge. He will also fill a valuable role as a utility 
player.
    * Here's our complete roster for 2006.
        * Chip Savini - Mgr
        * Charlie Mosser - Bench Coach
        * Joe Roslin - Field Coach/Utl
        * Nate Mosser - IF
        * Chris LaCava - IF/Sponsor (KMV)
        * Bart Fenstermacher - OF
        * Mike Smith - Pitcher
        * John Hurst - OF
        * Peter Mersereau - Pitcher
        * Keith Hammerschmidt - 3B
        * Jim Lawrence - Catcher

Phoenix, Arizona.

Yes, you read correctly - Phoenix Arizona!

First, to everyone in the fastball world, my business career has seen me 
re-locate to Phoenix recently and thus has monopolized my life for the past 
couple months. I must say - the weather here is fantastic this time of 
year! Perfect for fastball!
HOWEVER - this WILL NOT affect the 2006 edition of the World Fastball 
Invitational or my involvement in continuing to make this the best tourny 
on the planet, nor will it compromise my position and devotion with the 
Kitchener Hallman Twins - hosts of the 2006 ISC World Tournament and 3rd 
place finishers in Eau Claire - 2005.

In fact, as promised, 2006 will be our biggest and best year yet in Monkton!!!

We will continue to have only the very best teams competing for the biggest 
prize purse in the world, as well as adding a few new touches!

The Easton "Home Run Challenge" , the Canadian Senior Mens National Team, 
and an amazing line-up of off-field entertainment are just a few added bonuses.

Stay tuned here and watch for the long-awaited return of our website 
www.monktonfastball.com
for more details in the coming weeks!

Finally, on behalf of the organizing committee of the World Fastball 
Invitational, as well the entire Kitchener Hallman Twins organization, I 
would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas 
and all the best to you and yours for a safe, and Happy Holiday season!

Stockford stepping up to head role with Junior Black Sox
Thursday December 22nd 2005

Seasoned club and provincial coach Paul Stockford has this week been 
appointed to the head coach role with the Junior Black Sox.

The position will not be entirely new to Stockford who has filled the 
position of assistant coach with the junior team in recent years and was 
with the team as they finished fourth at the world champs earlier this year.

"I was involved with the last Junior Black Sox campaign along with Mark 
Sorenson and Dion Nukunuku and I have had an involvement with the junior 
level of the game for the last four or five years.

"The position of head coach of the Junior Black Sox has been a goal for me 
and something I have aspired to over the last seven or eight years," said 
Stockford.

Having been appointed to the position Stockford is now looking ahead to the 
next junior men's world championships which will be played in 2008 at an as 
yet to be named venue.

Having been part of the Junior Black Sox campaign this year Stockford says 
he has a greater appreciation of what it takes to win the world title.

"We have to strive for excellence and we need to get our players to start 
their development at an earlier age and be committed to the campaign and 
the final goal."

With 2008 in mind Stockford says he will be targeting and closely following 
the form of players currently participating in the under 16 age grade as he 
looks to name an extended training squad of 30-40 players.

While based in Levin Stockford is currently coach of the Hutt Valley men's 
National League team and Hutt Valley club side Cardinals. Past coaching 
roles have seen him leading the New Zealand under 16 boy's team in 2003 
while he has also coached Wellington to the men's National Provincial Cup 
title.

Softball is a family game for the 39-year-old coach with son Kevin and 
daughter Katrina both currently representing Hutt Valley at a senior level.

Las Vegas, NV

Tonight at 5:45 pm Pacific Time Eastern Commerce from Toronto, Canada who 
just won the Nike Holiday Classic in Las Vegas plays against Palo Verde 
from Las Vegas. Eastern Commerce is also the 4-time defending Quad "A" 
Ontario Provincial Gold Medalists. The Panthers are returning from San 
Diego where last night they won the Grossmont Winter Classic and are 
currently the top rated team in Nevada and undefeated at 9-0. Palo Verde 
has also been to the Nevada State Championship game the last three seasons, 
winning it all in 2003-04.

I will be providing Play by Play coverage of tonight's high school 
basketball game on www.network1sports.com/N1PALOVERDE.html

All that is needed to listen to the coverage is a Windows Media Player or 
similar device on your PC or laptop.

I was hoping that you could let all of your friends in the Toronto and 
Ontario area know about the live coverage.

Thank you,

Subject: Women?s NPC chance to impress with world
  champs in mind



NZCT WOMEN?S NATIONAL PROVINCIAL CUP
Prince Edward Park, Pukekohe
Monday January 2nd ? Thursday January 5th


The tournament is been held at Prince Edward Park, "Papakura"
not Prince Edward park "Pukekohe"



Women?s NPC chance to impress with world champs in mind
Friday December 23rd

With only eight months to go until the world championships the New Zealand 
Community Trust Women?s National Provincial Championships next week in 
Papakura will be the perfect opportunity to impress White Sox coach Mike Walsh.

The NPC tournament which runs from January 2nd ? 5th is seen as one of 
development for New Zealand Softball and because of that the main women?s 
softball associations - Wellington, Canterbury, Hutt Valley, and Auckland, 
are restricted to selecting players who are either under the age of 23 or 
were not protected players in the NZCT National League competition. All 
teams outside the main four have no restrictions on their selections.

?While it is an age grade tournament there are a number of White Sox 
contenders participating and there will be more who come to light at the 
tournament. Of those who have been part of the White Sox training squad I 
will be looking for improvement at all levels from fitness to skill 
levels,? said Walsh.

In the middle of January Walsh will name two New Zealand teams to compete 
in a South Pacific Series against Australia and New South Wales in Hamilton 
in early February.

Southland go into the NPC tournament as the defending champions but there 
will be tough competition for the title coming from the likes of Auckland, 
Hutt Valley and Canterbury.

While the Southern side took out the title last season there has been one 
major change to the line up over the past year with White Sox pitcher 
Sheree Cartwright transferring to Canterbury. The loss of Cartwright will 
have a big impact as she is a dominating force on the mound along with 
being one of the leading hitters in the game.

Canterbury has entered the tournament for the first time and they are 
looking strong with the acquisition of Cartwright along with fellow 
internationals Nic Pouaka-Grego and Brooke Lockhart.

Other teams to watch out for include Auckland who has a very similar line 
up to the team that claimed the NZCT National League title earlier this 
month. Hutt Valley are also expected to be title contenders as they have 
experience from the likes of Kiri Shaw and Api Stone-O?Kane along  with 
promising players such as Aimee Gilbert and Katrina Stockford.

One team that could cause a few upsets is Tamaki Makarau who will be making 
their debut in the tournament. Led by national league winning coach Nardi 
Leonard and backed up by White Sox internationals Maleme Williams and 
Ngamoko Hiku they could be the team to watch.

Media Advisory
26 December 2005


Over the next four months (January ? April), Australia?s top softball 
players will be taking part in the annual Fastpitch Championships to 
demonstrate some of the best softball skills, right here in our backyard!

The 2006 Championships will showcase several of the world?s best 
softballers including Olympic Medallists and world record holders who will 
be battling it out on the diamond for Australia?s ultimate Shields.

The Championships pitch off on 1 January with the Open Women?s in Melbourne 
and concludes on 8 April with the Under 23 Men?s and Women?s in Brisbane 
and Canberra respectively.

The schedule and locations of the Australian Fastpitch Championships for 
2006 are:

1-7 January Open Women?s ? Gilley?s Shield Altona, Vic
8-14 January Under 16 Girls ? Esther Deason Shield Canberra, ACT
8-14 January Under 19 Women?s ? Elinor McKenzie Shield Brisbane, Qld
15-21 January Under 19 Men?s ? Nox Bailey Shield Launceston, Tas
15-21 January Under 16 Boys ? Arthur Allsopp Shield Perth, WA
5-11 March Open Men?s ? John Reid Shield Blacktown, NSW
4-8 April Under 23 Men?s ? Laing Harrow Shield Brisbane, Qld
4-8 April Under 23 Women?s ? Joyce Lester Shield                 Canberra, ACT

These are the first phase, for many, in the selection process to make the 
national squad for the World Championship teams, this year for the Open 
Women?s.

This is an Olympic qualifying event which will be held in Beijing in August 
2006.

Australia is currently the top softball nation in the world with all four 
of its teams ranked in the top three. Australia?s Open Women?s team, Aussie 
Spirit, is currently ranked second, the Under 19 Men?s team, Aussie Colts, 
ranked number one and the Open Men?s, Aussie Steelers, and the Under 19 
Women?s, Aussie Pride, ranked number three.

Al,

   I would like to inform the softball community of the sad occurance that 
has occured in Newfoundland today, Christmas day.  Brian Dunphy, one of the 
most well known and most successful softball coaches in the histroy of 
Newfoundland has lost his battle with cancer.  Most recently he coached the 
Canada Games Girls team in Saskatoon.  Brian was a true ambassador of the 
sport in Newfoundland and I ask all whom recieve this message to take a 
moment of silence to remember this great man.

thank you

Al,

   I am sorry about this, but the  e mail last night concerning Brian 
Dunphy, is not true....I got a phone call at about 10pm that he had passed 
away, then at approximately 2:00 a friend of mine got home and returned my 
phone call and said that she had just returned from his house where he 
remains fighting against cancer....


thank you
Sincere Apology

Unlike eScribe which had a feature that enabled me to remove postings made 
in error, this site does NOT allow me to remove a posting.

Therefore it is ESSENTIAL that items posted here be checked over by the

incidents where events are reported before the originator checked the facts.

We are NOT responsible for items posted here. We assume that the originator 
has checked their facts over very carefully and are making an announcement 
in good faith that the information is correct.

If an item is posted in error, the best we can do is to post a retraction.


Posting guidelines are at http://www.alsfastball.com/webstart/news1.htm and

The International Softball Congress has developed and made available a 
player commitment form for use by teams with In-Area players for the 2006 
fastball season.

This form was developed to provide documentation through which in-area 
players may commit to various tournaments and games with a given team 
during the upcoming season

A form designated for this purpose can be found on the ISC website 
http://www.iscfastpitch.com under the section for "Rules and Forms".

ISC Executive Director Ken Hackmeister notes that teams are not required to 
use this specific form but can develop their own similar form for obtaining 
this commitment.

News from Kegel Black Knights out of Fargo, ND!!!!

The Black Knights would like to welcome Robbie Geisbrecht back to the team. 
Robbie will be Kegels 6 and last prawn player and will bring another 
talented bat to this already explosive line up. We are very excited as the 
new year approaches to see what lies ahead for this young and very talented 
team.Robbie will bring another strong arm and very good speed to this squad 
and will be asked to play a variety of spots both in the outfield and 
infield. The Black Knights will release our schedule in the next couple of 
weeks as we are awaiting word on one last tourney and looking to add one 
more weekend in late July or early August before the World tourney. We 
would also like to let everyone know that the Kegel team and Bergstrom Eye 
Laser Clinic have parted ways as of last year when the team and Lance 
Bergstrom failed to come to a financial agreement with the team. We at this 
time would like to introduce a new sponsor to our team in Dr. James 
Landerman from Wisconsin. Jim is a retired dentist from northern wisconsin 
and will be an added benefit to our team's success. With Jon Kegel and Jim 
Landerman aboard as the teams two lone sponsors the team is looking to add 
one more sponsor for this season and years to come as we have jumped into 
what we believe to be the best 5 or 6 tournaments in North America and 
would like to be able to compete at the next level of play which we believe 
could be a top 5 spot. So if anyone out in the fastball world would like to 
join up with a very talented group of young men please get a hold of us at 
LHochhalter(at)msn.com. The final roster and schedule will be posted on the 
teams website in the next week or two along with a posting on Al's 
fastball. Our web page is http://eteamz.active.com/kegelknights/
