Results of the 6th Annual Pete Schwab Memorial
Men's Fastpitch Softball Tournament (ISC II level)
Frankenmuth, MI
July 13-15th, 2007

18 teams fastpitch teams from Michigan, Ontario, Indiana, and
Ohio competed in this years Pete Schwab Memorial Tournament held
in Frankenmuth, Michigan with Priority Mortgage (Grand Rapids,
MI) beating Blenheim Home Run Restaurant (Blenheim, ON) in the
finals by the score of 4-0. 

Priority Mortgage earned a berth in the finals by beating the
Michigan Twisters (Midland, MI) 5-2 in the semi-finals, while
Blenheim "fought" the Alvinston Indians (Alvinston, ON) to an
emotional 8-4 victory in the other semi-final.

Other playoff teams included Kelder's Poured Walls (Ludington,
MI) who lost 5-2 to the Twisters in a first round playoff game
and the host team, Up-to-Date Painting (Millington, MI) who were
out-hit by Alvinston 10-8. Up-to-Date won a 1-0 sudden-death
playoff against the Blues (Hastings, MI) to advance into the
playoffs. 

MVP pitchers were Duke Vanderark & Tracy Boetsma from Priority
Mortgage, each pitcher having 3-0 records. MVP hitter was Rick
Rutledge from the Twisters who batted 9 for 12 with 4 walks.


The four-game round robin format draw was made to force match-ups
among teams not in the same league and not typically facing each
other. A four hour rain delay on Saturday morning forced most
of the pool play games to be started in the 3rd inning. I would
to extend a sincere thank you to all the teams, fans, players,
and umpires (led by UIC Dave Selden) for their patience and good
spirit throughout the weekend.
