    KITCHENER, ON - If you enjoy watching world-class softball,
be it men's or women's then the place to be on Saturday is Kitchener.
 
Five games are scheduled, but unfortunately they will not be
played at the same park. With a little luck, you'll be able to
take them all in.
 
The action get underway at 11 a.m. when the Kitchener Hallman
Twins meet the Ohsweken Chiefs in an ISC League of Eastern Canada
doubleheader.
 
The Twins, who are rated  third in the International Softball
Congress rankings, will have a full lineup as they prepare for
upcoming major tournament in Monkton (June 29 to July 2) and
Orillia (July 14 to 16).
 
Kitchener is also the host team in this year's Schneider's ISC
World Championship Tournament to be held Aug. 11-19 at the Peter
Hallman Ball Yard.
 
This year's Ohsweken team is built around Darren Zach who has
been rated one of the top pitchers in the world. He still holds
several ISC records.
 
Following the doubleheader, the Twins will take to the field
again against Midland Explorers from Michigan. The exhibition
game is scheduled for 3 p.m.
 
The Midland team has a local connection as Craig Crawford of
Kitchener is the Explorers catcher.
 
Following the Explorers - Twins game, Midland is back in action
against, meeting the Chiefs.
 
The scene then switches to the women as Canada's National senior
team go against the New England Riptide in an exhibition game
at the Peter Hallman Ball Yard. It is scheduled for 7 p.m.
 
The Riptide play in the National Professional Fastball League.
The two teams will play another game, at the same park, on Sunday
at 1 p.m.
 
The two parks are less than five-minutes drive apart. With a
little luck, a die-hard fan should arrive in time to see the
first pitch.
 
The Canadian women have been in Kitchener for more than a week
preparing for the Canada Cup  to be played July 1 to 9 in  Surrey,
B.C. 
 
>From there is on to the US World Cup in Oklahoma City,  exhibition
games in Texas and Connecticut and then on to the International
Softball Federation Championships in Beijing, China, Aug. 27
to Sept. 5.
