June 2-3,2007
 
    The 2007 Rich Rice Memorial Tournament was won this past
weekend by Interbay Door of Seattle,WA.  This early season tourney
is a favorite for teams because they get a full 5 games guaranteed
in the warm sun of beautiful Wenatchee,WA.  The top two finishers
in each pool face off in the championship game.  This year it
was Interbay Door and the host team, Triple C Healthcare from
Wenatchee.  Led by the pitching of Kevin Rasmussen who was MVpitcher
for the tournament with some help from father Craig on the weekend
Interbay managed to fashion a 5-1 record en route to another
Rich Rice title in the teams history.
 
    The Triple C team led by the hitting of the Lewallen brothers
managed to win 4 games in a row after a 1st game loss to Old
Growth 6-4.  On Sunday Terry Mace tossed a shutout vs Max's followed
by a hard fought win by Wade Liberty in game five of the weekend
vs Mission to secure the berth in the title game.  As always
a great tournament and this year the rain held off with 95 degree
or more temperatures all weekend.  A great tournament for all
that attend.  Hopefully 2008 can attract a few more teams to
the tourney.
 
    A big thanks to Uncle Vern, John Kallahar, Randy Cooper and
all involved in the community of Wenatchee for what is a classy,
well run, and enjoyable tournament on the banks of the Columbia
River!!!

as I can remember.
