10th Annual World Series of Fastball
Orillia, Ontario, Canada
 
 
With under 24 hours to go until the first pitch is thrown at
the 10th Annual World Series of Fastball the park is taking shape.
 The stands are in place, all the fencing is complete, the tents
are up and the diamonds look absoulutly great.  All that remains
is all the last minute things that will have our entire committee
running around all day Friday to make sure that every little
detail is looked after.
 
The World Series of Fastball has always had the reputation as
one of the most difficult invitational tournaments to win and
this year's line-up of teams will put that reputation to the
test again.  With 8 of the top 10 ISC ranked teams in attendance,
the tournament title is wide open this year.  If the top 8 teams
take either of the other 2 teams lightly they may find themselves
in a hole as both Midland Explorers and Pueblo Bandits are quite
capable of jumping up and taking games away from the higher ranked
teams.
 
All ten teams will see action tomorrow night with the Canadian
division kicking things off at 5:00 PM with Vancouver taking
on Kitchener and the host River Sharks against Jarvis.  At 7:00
PM Saskatoon plays their first game against the River Sharks
and the 1st game of the American division gets under way with
Midland, MI taking on the Broken Bow Gremlins.  At 9:00 PM, the
Pueblo Bandits make their first ever appearance at the World
Series of Fastball against local favorite, the Farm Tavern. 
In the last game of the night Midland will take on Patsy's of
New York.
 
Round Robin games continue throughout the day on Saturday with
the playoff games starting at 9:00 AM on Sunday.   Al Doran will
be on-site all weekend making regular updates of all the games.
 
 
The latest weather forecast calls for a fairly good weekend with
tempatures in the low 20's, mainly sunny  with a slight chance
of a shower on Saturday.
 
All in all, it looks to be an absolutely great weekend of elite
fastball action that will feature probably the most competitive
field of teams in the World Sereies of Fastball history.  The
tournament title is wide open and whoever emerges will have had
to be at their very best all weekend.
 
See you at Kitchener Park starting at 5:00 PM tomorrow night.
