Over her softball career, Lawrick earned the opportunity to represent Canada at two Olympic Summer Games, including a fifth place finish in 2004 (Athens) and a fourth place finish in 2008 (Beijing). Since joining the team in 2003, she also helped Canada to a pair of Silver medals at the Pan American Games (2003 and 2007), and most recently led the team to a Bronze medal at the 2010 ISF XII Women's World Championship, the Women's National Team program's first-ever medal at the event. Lawrick also helped Canada to a fifth place finish at the 2006 ISF World Championship. 'I feel so proud to have had the opportunity to represent my country for the past eight years' stated Lawrick. 'It truly is an honour to be able to play the sport you love for the country you love. I have so many great memories of teammates, coaches, world travels, and competition. I would like to thank Softball Canada for giving me the opportunity to pursue and achieve my individual and team goals. I would also like to thank my teammates for the amazing times we shared together. Finally, I would like to thank my family for their unbelievable support since I first picked up a softball, glove and bat. I look forward to the opportunities ahead and know that my experience with the National team will continue to help me in the future. Softball Canada is in great hands with Coach (Mark) Smith and I am confident they will have continued success in International competition.' Lawrick will always be recognized for her strong leadership qualities, her calm demeanour and her ability to come up with clutch hits. At the 2010 ISF World Championship in Venezuela, she led the tournament with 11 hits and finished second with a .611 batting average. 'Sheena Lawrick was one of our emotional leaders and a positive role model on and off the field' said Mark Smith, Head Coach of the Senior Women's National Team. 'In 2010, Sheena had a tremendous season and played an instrumental role in our podium finish at the ISF World Championships in Caracas, Venezuela. It's tough to replace those intangible qualities a two-time Olympian has to offer, however Sheena has career opportunities in her life that require her full attention. We wish her every success in future.' -SC- For more information, please contact: Gilles LeBlanc Manager - Marketing and Communications Softball Canada gleblanc(at)softball.ca 613-523-3386 ext 3105 Al's Fastball News *Email: fastball(at)pmihrm.com fastball at pmihrm.com NEWS-1: http://www.AlsFastball.com/ NEWS-2: http://fastpitchwest.com/alsfastball VIA http://www.webbox.com From fastball at pmihrm.com Fri Feb 18 00:59:27 2011 From: fastball at pmihrm.com (Al's Fastball News) Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2011 21:59:27 -0800 Subject: FW: REMINDER: Registration Deadline for Get In The Game Symposium is February 18, 2011 Message-ID: <17021148.79167@webbox.com> REMINDER: Registration Deadline for Get In The Game Symposium is February 18, 2011 TORONTO, ONTARIO ?

Softball Ontario is still accepting applications for potential hosts of the national pitching program CANpitch. Each individual program is designed for six (6) weeks of training with a local Regional Pitching Instructor trained by Softball Canada?s Master Pitching Instructors. CANpitch is Softball Canada`s national pitching program created to provide a nationally standardize curriculum based on Softball Canada`s Long-Term Player Development (LTPD) framework for effective teaching at each level. In the past, few Canadian softball players have been exposed to the pitching position which is one reason why the CANpitch Program is being implemented. CANpitch will assist in producing more skilled pitchers in Ontario and increase the level of talent and competition in the younger ages of Softball by identifying key drills that reinforce the proper mechanics and teach the fundamental skills of pitching. The CANpitch Program focuses on players (and coaches/parents) who have little to no pitching experience and provides a vehicle to enhance the development of pitching skills and knowledge across Canada at the grassroots level. Why Use the CANpitch Program? The CANpitch program is all about the quality of instruction for all of our participants. Focused on teaching the pitchers the fundamentals at a more personal level, each participant will have more one on one time per hour session than at their local associations open pitching clinics. The ratio of participant to instructor is 6-10:1, which will allow for more assistance and focus with each participant per hour time slot. Softball Ontario is proud to announce the addition of seven (7) new Regional Pitching Instructors to our CANpitch Program team- bringing our team total to seventeen (17) trained and eager Instructors ready to deliver the CANpitch Program throughout Ontario!! For six weeks, participants will learn pitching fundamentals to help increase the overall quality of their individual pitching skills and learn from instructors who have been trained to ensure the best. Please note that each Instructor has the ability to evaluate each pitcher during the first training session and if they feel the basic fundamentals are not there and the participant has signed up for a higher level, they will look to bring them back down to the appropriate stage. This allows the participant to begin correctly in the progressive program, which in turn, builds a better foundation for their future pitching skills. CANpitch Training Session Stages FUNdamentals Stage ? 1 hour, 1 x per week (6 weeks total) Provides each participant with the proper instruction on grip, wrist snap, arm rotation, and stride (should be a priority). All participants are required to actively participate in the training sessions. All participants MUST supply their own catcher. Cost per one (1) 6-week training program: $75.00 (plus applicable tax). Each participant is expected to practice at least one (1) time per week in addition to their 1-hour training session; this will better enable the instructor to further develop the basic fundamentals over the course of the six weeks! Learn to Train Stage ? 1 hour, 1 x per week (6 weeks total) Has participants rebuilding their fundamental mechanics and additionally focuses on the coordination of the arms and legs, the power line and throwing strikes (should be a priority). All participants are required to actively participate in the training sessions. All participants MUST supply their own catcher. Age: Ideally for ages 8-12 years old. Cost per one (1) 6-week training program: $75.00 (plus applicable taxes). Each participant is expected to practice at least one (1) time per week in addition to their 1-hour training session; this will better enable the instructor to further develop the basic fundamentals over the course of the six weeks! ** Please Note: The CANpitch Program is a progressive curriculum which means that many, if not all, participants who are starting the program for the first time will start at the FUNdamentals Stage. This will allow our nationally trained instructors to better evaluate and service each pitching individually. If the instructor feels that the participant understands and are capable of delivering the fundamentals they will look to further their skills and move them up to the Learn to Train Stage. The CANpitch Program is based on weekly drills and while our Instructors understand that emergencies come up, we expect ALL participants (and parents) to be committed to 6-weeks of training for 1-hour per week. The Program is designed to teach our grassroots level participants the proper techniques and fundamentals of pitching and Softball Ontario wants all our participants to develop a solid foundation ready to pitch during the season.

(a the first of a series of coaching guides). This guide has been created by Softball Canada to increase the knowledge of coaches and improve the development of players. Additional Coaches Guides for other age categories are currently being developed. Softball Canada is extremely proud of our new U12 Coaches Guide' stated Kevin Quinn, President of Softball Canada. 'This is a fine example of what can be accomplished when Softball Canada and its Provincial and Territorial partners work together to improve our sport. A very deep and profound congratulations goes out to all who took a part in developing this exceptional coaching tool for our current and future coaches. This tool will also allow coaches to add their own drills as they further develop their coaching skills.' The information in the U12 Coaches Guide: Tools for Coaching Success! is based on the Learning to Train Stage (L2T) of Softball Canada's Long-Term Player Development (LTPD) model, ensuring it is both age and stage appropriate. The guide contains a season's worth of practice plans divided into four training phases, with each phase having its own objectives and outcomes. This will assist softball coaches with the critical skill of developing and conducting sequential and well-organized practices. The practice plans are laid out in a manner that is very easy to follow and to work with. Each drill is described in detail, including a list of equipment that is required and a time limit to ensure that the practice is kept on track. Each guide is contained in a binder which allows the coach to remove the appropriate practice plan and bring it to the field with them. Coaches can use the information in the 'Key Teaching Points' section of the guide to ensure that the players are not simply doing the drills, but are instead learning the skills and game. Each drill also contains a clearly illustrated diagram to allow for easy understanding of the drills. Beyond these valuable practice plans, the guide contains sections on practice planning, dynamic warm-up routines, cool-down routines, and key teaching points for each skill. This fantastic new resource means that age-appropriate practices and information are now at the fingertips of every softball coach in Canada. Beginner coaches can simply follow the practice plans as they are laid out, and rest assured, the players and the team will improve the skills prioritized for their age category and LTPD stage over the course of the season. Experienced coaches can use these practice plans as a guideline and modify them to meet the individual needs of their players and team.

The Durham College athletic department held the 41st annual Athletic Banquet Thursday night at the General W. Sikorski Polish Veterans Association Hall in Oshawa. For only the second time in Durham College history, there were co-overall athletes of the year for both the male and female categories. Eric Smith (Ajax, Ont.) of the men?s basketball team and Jareth Vallier (Kingston, Ont.) of the men?s baseball team took home male athlete of the year honours while Erin Dewey (Port Hope, Ont.) of the women?s fastball team and Kayleigh Kraemer (Andernach, Germany) of the women?s golf team were named the female athletes of the year. Smith, a third year forward on the men?s basketball team was named the OCAA player of the year and a CCAA All-Canadian in 2010-11. He led the Lords to the OCAA championship for the first time since 1998 and was the OCAA scoring and rebounding champion averaging 21.6 points and 10.3 rebounds per game. This marks Smith?s second consecutive Durham College athlete of the year award. Vallier, a third year infielder with the baseball team led Durham to the CIBA Ontario Title and a final four appearance at the national championship, where he was named to the all-tournament team posting a .429 batting average. During the Lords perfect 16-0 regular season, Vallier averaged .435 at the plate while leading the province in home runs and RBI?s. Dewey, a third year short stop with the women?s fastball team won her third straight OCAA player of the year award in 2010 while leading the Lords to an OCAA championship and a national bronze medal.

That season, Martin McDonald and Mike Stauffer won the male awards while Tanya Becker and Joanie Fisher won the female awards. It was a night of celebration as the college took some time to look back and reflect on another successful year. There were plenty of special presentations made over the course of the evening including honoring the achievements of all of the student-athletes. Other big winners on the night included Tiffany Albath (Bad Marienberg, Germany) and Mackenzie Clugston (Whitby, Ont.) who took home the freshman athlete of the year awards.

The women?s golf team also won the overall team of the year honours. Clugston of the baseball team, posted a .333 batting average with 10 hits and 10 RBI?s. The bat wasn?t what made his year so impressive though as the second baseman made a number of key defensive plays in pressure situations during the Lords season.

Lisa Crompton ?????????????????? ?? (416) 426-7150 ??????????????????? ? lcrompton at softballontario.ca ? DATE:?????????? June 21, 2011 ---------------- ATTENTION ALL FEMALE HOUSE LEAGUE SELECT TEAMS IN ONTARIO PWSA_100.gif TORONTO, ONTARIO- The Provincial Women?s Softball Association (PWSA) is excited to offer another year of exceptional Provincial Championships for our female House League Select Teams.? We?ve listened to our teams, made their suggested changes and we are looking forward to a highly successful year. Female teams from Mite through Midget can be admitted to their appropriate tournament following certain eligibility requirements which are changing this year based on your comments from previous years. Our Provincial Championship Fastpitch House League Select Tournaments are being held simultaneously on the weekend of August 20-21, 2011. Each team is guaranteed three games, one of which will be played on Sunday, making this a true weekend tournament.? According to our players, they love to have a weekend away, play a little ball, make new friends, establish old friendships and have a lot of fun. All important documents and information can be found on our website www.ontariopwsa.com under the tabs Competition/House League.? You will find that the deadline for registering your team is midnight, July 24th, 2011 to your respective divisional coordinator (see the website registration form) to reserve your spot in the tournament.? All documents, including proof of insurance, registration form and waiver/sign-in must be submitted in hard-copy format, along with the $340 fee.? The waiver is an excel spreadsheet (8.5 x 14, legal) which can be filled in with all the applicable information, and then printed for signature purposes.? The waiver must be signed by all participants, including players and coaches.? In addition, each minor player, not yet 18, must have a parent or guardian sign the form. We are well on the way to reaching our maximum teams for a couple of the tournaments.? Please don?t disappoint your team by not making the deadline. PWSA is in the process of finalizing our Mite location and, once done, we will let you know the details. If you have any questions about the 2011 House League Select Provincial Tournaments that is not answered here or on our web site, please contact the 2011 PWSA House League Select Chair, Catherine Murphy at cathmurphy39 at hotmail.com . Softball Canada and Softball Ontario has designated The Provincial Women?s Softball Association (PWSA) as the governing provincial body for women?s softball in Ontario.? This designation gives us the authority to offer Provincial Championships for our elite teams and our House League Select teams. -30- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

With two more wins on the run-ahead rule, Canada has now outscored its opponents 44-6 in four games. In the first game against a young Okanagan Elite Gold 94 team, Brigitte Aizprua (Terrebonne, QC) walked and scored on a double to the left field fence by Erika Polidori (Brantford, ON). Polidori scored on a single by Carey-Leigh Thomas (Oshweken, ON), who would later score on a double steal to give Canada a quick 3-0 lead after the top of the first inning. Kirsten Grant (Oakville, ON) led off the second with a double and scored on an error, while Victoria Hayward (Toronto, ON) also scored on an error later in the inning. Team Canada's offence kept rolling in the third, as Natalie Wideman (Mississauga, ON) and Shelby Lia (Whitby, ON) hit back to back singles and both scored on a two-out, two-run single by Larissa Franklin (Maple Ridge, BC). Franklin then scored on a double steal, and Hayward crossed the plate on a single by Tessa Loewen (Abbotsford, BC) to give Canada a 9-0 lead. In the fourth, Shelby Lia blasted a two-run homerun, and Kirsten Grant scored on an RBI triple by Victoria Hayward to round out the scoring as Canada won by a score of 12-0. In the pitcher's circle, Jaycee Affeldt (Maple Ridge, BC) was dominant, throwing four innings without allowing a hit, walking one and striking out eight batters. In game two against the Victoria Devils 93 team, the surprising Devils got off to a good start, managing a walk and two hits as they opened the scoring with one run. Canada responded in the bottom of the frame, when Erika Polidori drove a triple down the first base line to drive in Tessa Loewen who had reached on a fielder's choice. Polidori then scored on a double by cleanup hitter Carey-Leigh Thomas. The bats were silenced for the next two innings for both teams before Canada managed to add another run in the bottom of the fourth on an RBI groundout by Shelby Lia. The red and white kept adding to the lead in the fifth, when Polidori crossed the plate on a single by Thomas, who later scored on a single by Grant. Canada would put the game away in the sixth, scoring two runs on a triple by Thomas and another on an error for the 8-1 win. Madison Schreyer (Winnipeg, MB) pitched four innings for Canada, allowing a run on three hits and two walks with eight strikeouts. Natalie Becker (Waterloo, ON) pitched two innings of relief, allowing one hit and a walk. Team Canada (4-0) will return to action on Wednesday when they will face the Washington Lake Breeze (2-0) at 1:00pm PDT at Cloverdale Athletic Park (Field #6).

The Canadian Senior Women's National Team took advantage of a few walks and received key hits from the bottom of the order to hand Venezuela its seventh loss of the tournament. In the bottom of the first inning, Melanie Matthews (Surrey, BC) laced a double to lead off the inning and was sacrificed to third, but Canada was unable to drive her in. In the top of the second, Ana Cascorossa of Venezuela drew a one-out walk, advanced to second on a passed ball and to third on a single by Geraldine Puertas, but the next hitter grounded into a double play on a beautiful turn by Danielle Lopez (Barrie, ON) and Meagan Baird (Ajax, ON) in the middle infield as Canada escaped the inning without allowing a run. Venezuela threatened again in the third after a leadoff double and a sacrifice to move the runner to third, but Canadian starting pitcher Sarah Phillips (Mississauga, ON) forced a fly out on the infield and a ground out. Canada got on the board in a big way in the bottom of the third. Jenna Rodriguez (Edmonton, AB) was it by a pitch to start the inning, and Melanie Matthews smacked a line drive over the centerfield fence for a two-run homerun. After a pair of fly outs, Kaleigh Rafter (Guelph, ON) walked before Megan Timpf (Port Dover, ON) and Danielle Lopez hit back-to-back singles to load the bases, and junior team call up Jennifer Gilbert (Saskatoon, SK) hit a two-out, full count double to left-center field to drive in two more runs, giving Canada a 4-0 lead. The red and white kept rolling in the fourth. Melanie Matthews forced a walk and stole second and Joey Lye (Toronto, ON) walked, before Kelsey Haberl (Burnaby, BC) smashed a double to bring both runners in to score. Shelby Lia (Whitby, ON) pinch ran for Haberl, and after Kaleigh Rafter was intentionally walked, she was replaced on the bases by Hannah Schwarz (Scarborough, ON). Megan Timpf forced a walk to load the bases, and Danielle Lopez delivered a two-run single to extend the lead to 8-0. Canada would add one more run in the inning on a solid single by Jennifer Gilbert to round out the scoring, and Venezuela was unable to score to extend the game, making the final score 9-0 in five innings. Sarah Phillips earned her second win of the tournament in the pitcher's circle, allowing three hits and two walks in four innings of work. Jenna Caira (Toronto, ON) pitched one inning of relief, allowing a hit and notching a strikeout. Offensively, Jennifer Gilbert led the way with two hits and three runs batted in, while Melanie Matthews, Kelsey Haberl and Danielle Lopez each had two hits and two RBIs. Team Canada (4-2) will finish its preliminary round schedule on Thursday when they will take on Australia (3-4) at 6:30pm PDT and Team USA (6-1) immediately after at 8:30pm PDT at Softball City.

Washington surprised Canada by taking a quick 2-0 lead, but the red and white responded with three runs in the third inning and one in the fifth and held on for the victory. After a quick first inning, Washington opened the scoring with two runs in the top of the second on an RBI triple and two errors. Canada looked to even the score in the bottom of the frame when Carey-Leigh Thomas (Oshweken, ON) reached on an error and Jaycee Affeldt (Maple Ridge, BC) singled before Natalie Wideman (Mississauga, ON) sacrificed them to second and third. However, the Junior National Team hit a pair of fly outs on the infield to end the inning. Canada was finally able to push a few runs in to score in the bottom of the third. Shannon Davidson (Whitby, ON) led off with a single up the middle followed by a slap single by Victoria Hayward (Toronto, ON). After both runners advanced on a passed ball, Jennifer Gilbert (Saskatoon, SK) reached on a fielder's choice, allowing Davidson to score and Hayward to advance to third. Erika Polidori (Brantford, ON) then hit an RBI ground out, and Carey-Leigh Thomas later scored on a double steal to give Canada a 3-2 lead. Neither team was able to get much going in the fourth, but Canada was able to add an insurance run in the bottom of the fifth on an RBI single by Carey-Leigh Thomas. Canada was able to hold on the rest of the way to earn the tight win. Natalie Becker (Waterloo, ON) notched the win in the pitcher's circle, allowing two unearned runs on three hits with five strikeouts in five innings pitched. Madison Schreyer (Winnipeg, MB) earned the save, allowing only a hit and two walks with one strikeout in three innings of relief. Carey-Leigh Thomas led Canada with two hits, while Hayward, Gilbert, Affeldt, Davidson, Tessa Loewen (Abbotsford, BC) and Brigitte Aizprua (Terrebonne, QC) each added a hit each.

After graduating from UOIT with a bachelor of education degree, Galea (Oshawa, Ont.) has enrolled at Durham College for the Sports Business Management graduate certificate program. ?I am excited to be joining a program of such great caliber, ?said Galea. ?I am excited for the upcoming season and the opportunities that will further my education." "Shannon is a hard working, dedicated individual both on the field and in the classroom," said Durham College head coach Jim Nemish. "We are thrilled to have Shannon as a member of our fastball program. She will bring experience and added depth to our pitching staff." After spending a year rowing and playing squash at UOIT, Galea returns to her main sport on the diamond. In 2010, Galea played with the Kitchener Coyotes where her team won a bronze medal at the 2010 Canadian senior women's championship. She was named an all-star pitcher by Softball Canada. Playing with the Cambridge Coyotes in 2009, Galea's team went on to win the Canadian Junior National Championship, where she threw a no-hitter against Alberta and was named the Softball Canada Championship top-pitcher and top player. That same year, she represented Port Perry in the senior national championship where the Angels finished in seventh place. This marked the fourth straight year she participated in two national championships in the same year. During the fall fastball season, Galea played for McMaster University. The Marauders won the OIWFA championship in 2009 and Galea was named the championship MVP. From 2006 to 2010, she was an OWIFA all-star three times and the McMaster women's fastball MVP twice. "Shannon is also capable of playing other positions and while batting from the left side, she gives added depth there as well," said Nemish. "Shannon will provide leadership and experience to this year's team as we compete for another OCAA championship and a national championship." In 2010-11 at UOIT, Galea earned top honours as she was named the overall athlete of the year. She was a member of the Ridgebacks women's novice eight crew who went on to win the first OUA medal in UOIT's rowing program history, earning bronze at the provincial championship. Leading up to the OUA championship, the women's novice eight crew won gold medals at the Guelph and Brock Invitationals Galea didn't only excel at rowing, as she became the first student to represent UOIT at the OUA Squash Championship in March. She was also the women's rowing top GPA award winner and was selected as UOIT's representative for the OUA woman of influence award. Her extracurricular activities on campus include her involvement on the UOIT Ridgebacks rowing executive and coordinator of the UOIT extramural women's flag football team. The Oshawa native has been an athlete in the Quest for Gold program since 2006, which provides support to Ontario's amateur high performance athletes. Durham College will host the 2011 OCAA women's fastball championship from October 21-22.

Kaleigh Rafter (Guelph, ON) drove in three of Canada's four runs, as the red and white improved its record to 3-1 to better position itself in the tournament standings. Team Canada got off to a fast start, as they have in each of their World Cup of Softball games, with Melanie Matthews (Surrey, BC) hitting a ground-rule double to right center field to start the game. Victoria Hayward (Toronto, ON) followed with a walk and both runners advanced on a wild pitch before Kaleigh Rafter delivered a two-run double to right center field to give Canada a quick 2-0 lead. The United States cut the lead in half in the bottom of the second, as Kaitlin Cochran lined a homerun over the left center field wall to start the inning. However, Canada would get that run right back in the top of the third when Rafter hit a leadoff homerun of her own. The red and white extended the lead to 4-1 in the top of the fourth, as Meagan Baird (Ajax, ON) drew a leadoff walk with Jennifer Gilbert (Saskatoon, SK) coming in to pinch run for her. Gilbert advanced to second on a bad throw that was mishandled by the second base player on a sacrifice bunt attempt. After the runners were sacrificed to second and third, Hayward hit a ground ball to second base to push Gilbert in to score. Team USA chipped away at the lead in the bottom of the inning, when Kaitlin Cochran hit a two-out single and scored on a double by Valerie Arioto. However, Jenna Caira struck out the next batter to end the inning. The following inning, 16 year old pitcher Jocelyn Cater came on in relief of Caira. After giving up a one-out single to Taylor Hoagland, Cater struck out the next batter before Hoagland stole second, but the next hitter hit a line drive in foul territory at third base that Megan Timpf (Port Dover, ON) caught on a fantastic diving play. Cater got into trouble in the bottom of the sixth, walking a batter and hitting another one, but was able to get two big strikeouts to get out of the inning. The United States would put even more pressure on in the bottom of the seventh to make things interesting. Cater gave up a single to Michelle Moultrie and walked Hoagland to start the inning, which prompted Team Canada head coach Mark Smith (Falmouth, NS) to re-enter Jenna Caira with two on and nobody out. Caira struck out the next two batters, but allowed an RBI single to pinch-hitter Keilani Ricketts as USA trimmed the lead to 4-3. However, Caira forced the next hitter to ground out to the pitcher to end the game, as Canada held on for the 4-3 win. Caira earned the win in the pitcher's circle for Canada, allowing two runs on five hits in five innings pitched. She froze many hitters with her devastating changeup, striking out seven batters in the game. Cater was also very effective in relief with a great curveball that kept hitting the corners, allowing a run on two hits and two walk in two innings, striking out four hitters. Rafter led Canada at the plate with a homerun, a double and three runs batted in, while Melanie Matthews had two doubles. Jenn Yee (North Delta, BC) and Joey Lye (Toronto, ON) each added singles. Team Canada (3-1) will take on Australia (2-2) at 7:30pm EDT on Sunday to cap off their preliminary round schedule. The United States (2-1) will take on Japan (2-0) later tonight, with both teams also playing tomorrow against different opponents. The top two teams from the preliminary round will face off in the gold medal game on Monday night (9:00pm EDT), with the third and fourth place finishers playing for bronze earlier in the afternoon (4:00pm EDT). Live scoring and video streaming for the Canada/Australia game will be available through USA Softball's website (http://www.usasoftball.com/events.asp?uid=6375).

Three games were played in the past week .On Wednesday night in Whitefish , the Pickerel Cardinals took a 6-3 lead into the fourth inning but then held on as the young Falcons from Whitefish scored some late runs at the end but came up short 7-6 .The Cardinals remained in second place . Veteran Percy Tobobundung (1-1) in only his second outing of the season went the distance scattering 8 hits , striking out 8 batters and did not issue a single base on balls while Troy Nootchtai (2-6) also went all the way and was tagged with his 6th loss in giving up 12 hits , fanning 6 batters while issuing 1 single base on balls . Ed Brennan led all Cardinal hitters going 2 for 3 with teammate Pat Brennan Jr hitting 2 for 4 (two doubles ) while Brendan Biederman (double) and Justin Nootchtai (double , triple) both went perfect with 3 for 3 performances in a losing cause for the Falcons . The week ended with a doubleheader played in Garson .In the first game , the red hot Swick Hounds of Garson stretched their undefeated streak to 5 games with a key 5-3 victory over the Cardinals , the team they are chasing for second place . Both pitchers were at their best in this low scoring affair . Gary ?GNU? Lamothe of the Hounds(2-6) , back after almost a month out of action due to a hamstring injury pickled his second strait victory of the season in going the distance as he gave up 8 hits , struck out four and did issue a single base on balls . Rookie , Chris Vanvelkenburg (2-3) of the Cardinals also went the distance being tagged with his 3rd loss of the season where he scattered 9 hits , fanned 8 batters and also did not issue a single base on balls , League leading hitter , Correy ?Pooch ? Farmer led all Hounds hitters going 2 for 4(double) and is now hitting a whopping 722 . Teammate Bruce MacDonald went 2 for 3 while Brian Ashawasagai hit 2 for 3 in a losing cause for the Cardinals . In the nightcap , the Sudbury North Stars took a 6-2 lead into the 5th inning and then cruised to a 10-4 victory over the Whitefish Lake First Nation Falcons . Brad Matheson (2-0) started for the North Stars in picking up his second win of the season with Lanny Fichette (0-0) ?first outing of the season finishing off the last two frames .Both pitchers combined to give up 6 hits , strike out 8 batters and issue four base bon balls . Troy Nootchtai (2-6) started for the Falcons was tagged with the loss giving way to veteran Andy Nootchtai (0-0) in the fourth frame .Both pitchers combined to give up 18 hits b, fan one batter while issuing one base on balls . Moe Coutu of the North Stars led all hitters going a perfect 3 for 3 (home run shy of the cycle) with teammate Jesse St Cyr hitting also 3 for 3(double) and Lanny Fichette getting a grand slam in the 3rd frame while both Sid Nebenionquit and Brendan Biederman bot hitting solo shots in a losing cause for the Falcons . Remaining scheduled games : Monday July the 25th in Azilda at the Rick McDonald Memorial Park 7 PM Whitefish Falcons at Garson Hounds 9 PM Pickerel Cardinals at Sudbury North Stars Wednesday July the 27th in Whitefish Lake 7 PM Whitefish Falcons at Sudbury North Stars Thursday July the 28th in Garson at the Lorne Brady Memorial Park 7 PM Swick Hounds of Garson at Sudbury North Stars End of regular season The playoffs (semi finals best 5 series ) do not start until Wednesday August the 10th at the Whitefish Lake ball diamond . The Sudbury North Stars have finished in 1st position and they will take on the Whitefish Lake Falcons in series ?A? of the semis while the Cardinals and Hounds will face each other in series ?B? .All that is to be determined is who finished 2nd or 3rd but that could very well be determined on Monday night in Azilda at 9 PM when they face each other for their final encounter before the playoffs . Since the 2011 season might end up early and the earliest in several seasons , there is strong possibility that our annual all star game could be in August-the team reps should start thinking of their team selections .The game will be in Sudbury this year and possibly in Azilda when we face the North Shore Select All Stars .

After slightly slumping in their way of playing in the last couple of weeks , the veteran defending champions Sudbury North Stars gave a message to their opponents in a pair of games played Thursday night at the Lorne Brady Park in Garson . They unleashed their batting attack with 30 hits and scored 25 runs . In the first of two games , the North Stars defeated the Swick Hounds of Garson 9-2 after having lost their only two games this season against the same Hounds . John Ainslie having difficulties of late went tom 11 and 2 giving up 8 hits ,striking out 3 batters and issuing but one base on balls . His opponent Matt Behn (1-1) in only his second outing of the season was tagged with his first loss as he gave up a whopping 14 hits , fanned but one batter and issued one base on balls . For Mike Cain , veteran short stop of the North Stars it was only the start of a career night for him . He went 2 for 3 at the dish both solo round trippers with teammates John Miners ,Curtis Hambley (double) , Lanny Fichette(double) and Ben Bast (double) all hitting 2 for 3 also while Corey Farmer (triple) , Todd Parsons (two doubles) and Shane Bene all hit 2 for 3 in a losing cause for the Hounds . In the nightcap , the North Stars continued their onslaught hit parade picking up another 13 hits on their way to a 16-8 drubbing of the slumping Cardinals of Pickerel River . The North Stars used three pitchers to do the job starting with ageless veteran and 60 year old Bobby Dolan (1-0) in only his second presence on the mound picked up his first win of the season ,He was relieved by Mike Greslow (1-0) and Lanny Fichette(0-0) .All three pitchers combined to give up 10 hits , strike out 3 batters and issue three base on balls . Percy Tobobundung (1-2) started for the Cardinals and was tagged with his second loss of the season being relieved in the 5th frame by Walter Tobobundung .Both pitchers gave up 13 hits , fanned 4 batters and issued one base on balls . Once again Mike Cain of the North Stars was the top hitter of the game going 2 for 3 including a three run shot to left field and tying the league record for home runs in two back to back games at three (Todd Parsons held the record established in 2009) with teammates Curtis Hambley ( double ,triple) and Mike Greslow (triple ,home run ) both hitting 2 for 3 while Walter Tobobundung (double ,triple) ,Pat Brennan and Percy Tobobundung(triple) all hit 2 for 3 in a losing cause for the Cardinals . All teams across the region and Ontario are reminded of the 6th Annual Brad Rienguette ?Shamou Shoot Out ? Northern Ontario Ladies and Men?s Fastball Championship up coming in 21 days from August the 19th to the 21st here in Sudbury Ontario .Up coming next is a feature that I call Roger here where I analyze the past season and comment on the up coming playoffs getting underway on Wednesday August the 10th . This year?s regular season had all the makings of interesting scenarios until the veteran North Stars proved to be to strong for all three opponents most nights. The Cardinals tried to keep up but fell behind after a while. The hitting seemed to be there at times but with the long absence of pitcher Jonathan Contin , problems arose. The surprising Swick Hounds who were weak most of the season through low batting average as a team compiled with many fielding errors and an off year for Gary Lamothe surged in the late comings putting together a six game unbeaten string (5 wins and one tie)-the surprise return and presence of veteran Todd Parsons certainly made the difference as well as the much improved defense and pitching of Gary while the young bucks of Whitefish scattered their wins with some fine hitting , good defense and somewhat improved pitching . As we look on to this year?s edition of the playoffs, here is how I see it .I haven?t a magical ball but if I was a betting man, I would go this way: Semi finals both best of 5 series this year for the first time : Series ?A? 4th place Whitefish Lake First Nation Falcons take on 1st place (defending champions) Sudbury North Stars : it?s the young bucks vs. the veterans - it?s possible the Falcons could come up with one win but as I see it , the North Stars should easily prevail in three ; Series ?B? between the Cardinals and the Hounds should be interesting: they?ve both played pretty even in most of their meetings but the Cardinals have fallen out of late with their hitting , come up with costly fielding errors and the absence of their leader on the mound could be in trouble while the Hounds have been surging of late in the past three weeks . If Contin for the Cardinals returns and Gary Lamothe keep showing that comeback form with both teams hitting and staying away from costly errors this series could be a good one and most likely go the distance. If Contin for some reason doesn?t return, you might see the Hounds in 3 or 4. It should be interesting. Players, friends of fastball go go go playoffs starting on Wednesday August the 10th in Whitefish Lake. All team reps are reminded that we need an answer from them concerning the playoffs situation (Cardinals 9 PM games only ) , the days and fields to be used to be used by no later than Tuesday afternoon as well as who from your team will be attending Thursday night?s (location to be decided) most important meeting scheduled for 7 PM . \Keep fit! See you at the meeting ! See you on the fastball diamonds !

Softball Ontario would like to bring the game of softball to the next level with the use of video analysis. Video analysis is a procedure in which a videotaped softball skill is analyzed using a frame-by-frame inspection of footage. Dartfish is the world?s best software program which assists in the analysis by allowing a Softball Coach to: Highlight key points of interest by selecting and noting key moments within the skill Add audio comments, text and drawing to selected key positions Play reference video with key positions and notations to compare with other videos Synchronize two different videos to play together Publish videos, key positions, drawings and annotations and voice over Softball Coaches will be able to take a video clip of a Pitcher, Hitter or Fielder (or a softball player doing any softball skill) and analyze it and be able to return the clip to the player with detailed analysis format called a Media Book. Dartfish Software is a tremendous tool for any Softball Coach wanting the help themselves and their players learn through the use of video technology. This program allows an easy transfer of footage from the video camera to a personal computer. Dartfish allows a Coach to play a clip of a skill in regular speed, any number of slow motion speeds and it can advance a clip by clip frame. Beyond that, a Coach will have the ability to look at two video clips side-by-side or top-and-bottom, or up to 4 different video clips at the same time. Plus, a Coach can draw lines on the screen, or magnify a certain part of a clip and even add a trail of softballs to visually track the motion. Samples of what Dartfish can do: Softball trail Side-by-Side Comparison with Magnification Video Overlay How the Software works: A Softball Coach would use a video camera and film their athlete Record each athlete?s footage to a video tape/dvd or connect the video camera to a personal computer Once each video was received, the user would then create a video library Compare swings, pitching and fielding mechanics to previous clips and reference clips Deliver the analysis to players, parents and fans Key features of the Software include: Side by Side comparisons Angle measurements Timing measurements Zone for micro analysis (e.g. hand or foot positions) Through this offer local softball associations can purchase this innovative coaching tool for $1075.00 (Cdn) plus HST. Please send your payment and the order form under the link below to the Softball Ontario office at 3 Concorde Gate, Suite 309, Toronto, ON M3C 3N7 by November 1, 2011 as we are placing our order on that date. Here is the link to the order form: Dartfish Software Special Offer Order Form Please note this offer is only valid if we have a minimum of 20 orders. If a softball coach or association was to purchase this cutting edge software directly from Dartfish it would cost $3400 (US). Be sure to take advantage of this huge savings of $2325!

Friday night the Gee-Gee?s played the Carleton Ravens for a double header out in Orleans. To raise awareness for Mental Health, the Gee-Gee squad wore purple shirts for both games. The Gee-Gees came out strong to defeat the Ravens in five innings of play; with a final score of ?

Early Saturday morning the ladies ran a camp for kids and worked on improving their softball skills. Following the sports camp, the Gee-Gees hosted Laurier in Orleans for a double header. These two games concluded in frustrating losses for the ladies. After recovering for the night the Gee-Gees hosted Waterloo for their two concluding games of the weekend. With a strong start to finish, the ladies were able to hold Waterloo?s talented batters to only 3 runs. All bats were on fire scoring 7 runs which allowed them to walk off with the win. The second game was a very close game which resulted in a loss for the ladies but overall a very well played game of ball. Defence and offence are beginning to come together for the Gee-Gees which is allowing for only a bright season ahead and an even stronger playoff finish.

A combination of the Snappers who hit the ball really well all playoffs and some sloppy Fury defense resulted in the lopsided score. A Trevor Falk HR and Ryan Rothwell triple sandwiched around a couple Fury errors put the score at 4-0 after one, the Fury would leave the bases loaded in the B1. A Scott Young triple in the third is cashed by a Matt Lyons to make it 5-0, and Rothwell would later cash another 2 runs with a single after another Fury error to make it 7-0. Ray Carr puts the Fury in the board with a HR in the 5th but Young and Lyon doubles in the sixth eventually tacked on additional runs. Scott Wagar and Tommy Watkinson would each double in the B6 for another Fury run but Lyons gets out of the inning to complete the game. Lyons wins it for Snappers and Wagar takes the loss. The League would like to congratulate the Snappers on their win. The last order of business for 2011 will be the leagues annual year end banquet on October 15th at Hooligans bar. I will update the award recipients and provide a league wrap up. As always thanks Al for supporting fastpitch in Niagara. Robert R.

Hello all, First off, thanks to everyone for making the trip to New Dundee for this year's OCC. I just wanted to send a quick email to the team contacts with a link to our Flickr stream for the weekend. A big thanks goes out to our three volunteer photographers, Mike Kitchen, Timm Vera, and Trevor Botting, for capturing the action throughout a very cold weekend. Trevor has kindly amassed those images that were of sufficient quality to post and they can be viewed at http://www.flickr.com/photos/occ2011/ Unfortunately, given our volunteers' other commitments, they weren't able to get images of every team and there were more of some teams than others. We apologize to those teams that we weren't able to capture. Blair and Joe, I've taken this email list from one of your earlier emails. Could you double-check to ensure that all the teams are represented here, as I didn't have contact with individual teams in the lead-up to the event? Thanks. Lastly, if anyone has constructive feedback on how the tournament was run, please direct that to me. This was the first tournament the Selects have ever organized and we think things ran reasonably smoothly, but are certainly open to feedback. Have a great offseason, everyone.

The Durham College women?s fastball team opened up conference play with a two-game sweep over the Humber Hawks. Durham shutout the Hawks 11-0 in game one and had an 8-1 win in game two. Shannon Galea pitched a five inning shutout for Durham in game one as the veteran pitcher allowed one hit and struck out five batters enroute to the win. The Lords bats were hot right from the opening pitch as they put up two runs in the first inning and seven in the second. Janna Hagan and Jenna Dupuis were the top hitters for DC as they both went 3-for-3 and combined for five RBI?s. Melissa Semeniuk had a team high four RBI?s in the win. 2010 OCAA championship top pitcher Kristine Miles recorded the win in game two, allowing one run on two hits. Alexandra Mallett pitched the seventh inning to close out the game. Durham once again had consistent hitting throughout the line-up, which head coach Jim Nemish was glad to see after the delayed start to the season. Dupuis, Brittany Bell and Shannon Ferguson each had two hits in the win. Bell also stoodout on defence with five put-outs.

Argentina en sus dos categor?as se llev? la victoria. Lunes 26 de Septiembre de 2011 Hs. ? left El bateo argentino fue s?lido, lo que permiti? una gran victoria del albiceleste Con esta carrera, el sofbolista argentino le da el triunfo al equipo nacional right ? Una cita en un mismo lugar, un objetivo en com?n y un aliento compartido entre argentinos, checos y australianos. Dos ganadores pero los mismos colores ya que Argentina se consagr? en las categor?as juvenil y Mayor tras vencer en "ambas finales" a un mismo rival: el campe?n del mundo Australia. MAYORES. Los Mayores de Australia y Argentina nuevamente se vieron las caras, esta vez en la final del primer certamen del Torneo Internacional. Aunque los albicelestes llegaron con ventaja deportiva de dos encuentros ganados durante la instancia de competencia, el clima de cotejo decisivo se sinti? en todo momento y ante un marco importante de p?blico Argentina se consagr? campe?n. Australia abri? el per?odo con Adam Humble en el c?rculo de lanzamiento y Andrew Havercroft como su receptor. Mientras que Argentina lo hizo con su pitcher principal Juan Potolicchio y su catcher Bruno Motroni. Los primeros cuatro per?odos del encuentro pasaron sin altercados para ambos conjuntos, ya que, dominadas por los lanzadores las ofensivas de cada equipo quedaron nulas sin marcar carreras. Finalmente en la apertura del quinto inning, con hombres posicionados en las esquinas del diamante, el paranaense Bruno Motroni conect? la bola y gracias a su hit permiti? el ingreso de dos carreras, poniendo de esta manera el score a favor de los comandados por Eduardo Sabat? por 2 corridas a 0. Los australianos nada pusieron hacer en el cierre del per?odo porque los lanzamientos de Juan Potolicchio frenaron uno por uno a los bateadores visitantes. En la parte baja del s?ptimo relev? a Juan Potolicchio el pitcher salesiano Francisco Sabat? y sin consecuencias, con un excelente tiro a la tercera base Bruno Motroni finaliza el partido d?ndole la victoria a la selecci?n nacional por 2 carreras a 0. JUVENILES. La selecci?n juvenil consigui? derrotar a la australiana. A pura garra y coraz?n los dirigidos por Mariano Spotorno lograron derrotar al elenco visitante por 5 entradas a 2. El cotejo comenz? con los nacionales en el campo de juego, con Martin Gonz?lez como lanzador y Juan Zara como receptor, mientras que Australia lo hizo con Patrick Schipp y Christopher Mc Clure. La primera entrada fue marcada por los argentinos en el cierre del tercer per?odo, de la mano de Mart?n Gonz?lez quien fue impulsado por Federico Olheiser. En la parte alta del quinto, Australia reaccion? y tras un fuerte batazo de Kajan, Monan y Wagner pisaron la placa de home para poner el tanteador 2-1 a su favor. Sin lugar a dudas lo m?s destacado del cotejo sucedi? en la parte baja del sexto inning cuando, con bases llenas, el paranaense Rom?n Godoy conect? un grand slam e impuls? 4 carreras para darle al equipo albiceleste el t?tulo de campe?n. Los juveniles de argentina, que se preparan para el pr?ximo mundial de la categor?a, llenaron de esperanzas y alegr?a a todos los simpatizantes presentes, quienes se dieron el lujo de gritar en tierras paranaenses ?dale campe?n?. PALABRA DEL MANAGER. Al t?rmino del encuentro su manager Mariano Spotorno dialog? con EL DIARIO y expres?: ?La verdad es que es un momento visualizado con los que se sue?a. A este nivel uno tiene que tener la idea que los partidos son dif?ciles y el sufrimiento es parte de nuestro trabajo?. Por ?ltimo el head coach afirm?: ?Comparto esto con mi familia?. Por otra parte, el jugador del partido Rom?n Godoy asegur?: ?Esto es un sue?o, una final con Australia y ganarlo con un grand slam. Ahora tenemos que seguir entrenando para volver a ganar y salir campe?n del mundo?. Programaci?n El pr?ximo mi?rcoles 28 de septiembre continuar?n las actividades en el diamante principal de la ciudad de Paran?. El primer cotejo de la segunda instancia del Torneo Internacional ?Ciudad de Paran?? ser? a las 14 y enfrentar? a Australia con el combinado argentino. Mientras que el ?ltimo, que fue programado para las 21.30, ser? entre Argentina y Paran?. El costo del ingreso ser? de $10.

Durham College swept their second doubleheader to begin the season as they defeated Conestoga twice on the road. The Lords won game one by a final score of 11-0 and followed that up with a 5-0 victory in game two. In four conference games this season, Durham has outscored their opponents 35-1. Shannon Galea threw a one-hitter in game one, striking out nine batters. The right handed pitcher was throwing a perfect game with one out in the fifth inning, when it was broken up with a single. Galea has not allowed a run in two starts this season for Durham. Janna Hagan and Brittany Bell each went 2-for-4 at the plate combining for three RBI. In game two, Kristine Miles won her second conference game of the year pitching a complete game shutout. Jenna Dupuis and Brittany Bell were both perfect at the plate. Dupuis was 4-for-4 while Bell went 3-for-3. The Lords are 4-0 heading into a weekday doubleheader at Seneca (3-1) on Tuesday night. That is the Lords last conference action before heading to Windsor for the 2011 Canadian Intercollegiate Women's Fastpitch National Championship which will take place from October 8-10. Durham won a bronze medal at last year?s championship in Saskatchewan. Durham College is hosting the OCAA provincial championship from October 21-22.

The main reason for this is not to conflict with the ISC World championship being held in Midland Michigan on the third week of August . In this fashion we would not have to change the annual Northern Ontario ?Shamou Shoot Out ? from where its always been on the thirds weekend of August . With the Intermediate ?A? being moved to the August long weekend , more excellent teams from across Ontario would come into the picture to make this a most memorable weekend . The decision for hosting will be coming at mid November and then if we successfully win the bid that is the change in dates we would be looking for . A manager for the Sudbury squads has already been selected and in the next few days a coach and assistant coach will be selected . All three will form a committee and select the Sudbury team who will be known as the Nickel Selects . Once the decision comes down in mid November will keep you abreast of the situation .

Photo: Dan Plouffe ________________________________ By Dan Plouffe The last time the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees softball team was at home two weekends ago, coach Scott Searle saw his young team as a bit of a work in progress as his squad dropped three of four against Laurier and Waterloo. Turns out that progress came a bit quicker than expected, as the Gee-Gees now head back into town riding a four-game winning streak thanks to road victories they grinded out last weekend in double-headers against McMaster and Guelph. ?Absolutely we have the horses,? says Searle, who was after tactical, communication and focus improvements from his players. ?It?s one of the most physically talented groups I?ve ever had and they?re all the nicest people in the world to coach and work with.? The Gee-Gees added eight rookies to their lineup this year, including Ontario Midget MVP Jean Cordona ? a star on the mound and at the plate in last weekend?s wins ? 2010 Ottawa Sports Awards softball athlete of the year Grace Lonergan and Midget Team Quebec member Chelsea Moran. Add five more players who are just entering their second years with the squad and it?s understandable why there can be some moments where a lack of experience shows itself despite players? abundance of ability. ?We have those dribs and drabs with a lot of rookies playing together and people are still a little tentative, but once we get that fixed, I think we?re going to do well,? explains Searle, whose club last won an Ontario University Athletics title in 2004. ?I think we have the talent and the physical skills to make a really good run at the championship.? One big piece to the puzzle for Ottawa U is Jillian Taylor, who rejoins the Gee-Gees after completing her bachelor of education in 2010. The 25-year-old pitching ace is now working on an education Masters degree while supply teaching with the Ottawa Catholic School Board. Softball wasn?t originally part of the plan for Taylor, although she couldn?t resist the lure after watching the Canadian championships from the stands this past summer. ?I was sitting there watching it, and I really missed it, so I decided to come out and play in the fall,? Taylor recounts. ?It?s good to be back on the diamond and it?s fun. The girls are great. "I feel a little old sometimes, but the (young players) are really committed and energetic, so it?s good to be a part of this team even if I am older.? While Taylor can be counted on as a big-time leader for the Gee-Gees, they?ve also added a ton of experience to their coaching staff thanks to 2008 Olympian Robin Mackin, who is studying medicine at Ottawa U after finishing pre-med at Fresno State and Nebraska. ?It helps to get back into things having a coach like that,? Taylor notes, adding that Mackin is not only a great role model for the young players, but also very approachable. ?Because I haven?t pitched all summer, it?s little things like I?ll try to put a certain spin on the ball and I won?t understand why it?s not working, and she?ll immediately come over right away and tell me what?s wrong. She?s really knowledgeable.? With just one more road trip after this weekend's matches prior to the provincial championships Oct. 22-24 in London, Ont., Taylor likes the look of this Gee-Gees team and expects they?ll be in the running for the top spot. ?I think we have a good chance, I really do,? says the former Orleans Rebel. ?People put in a lot of their own personal time and effort along with how much time it takes as a team to practice and prepare. Along with the skill, I think we have a good chance.? The 8-6 Gee-Gees host Toronto Saturday at 2 p.m. for a double-header and then take on Guelph Sunday at noon for another pair of games. All games are at Alexander Grove in Kanata. The 0-14 Carleton Ravens are also in action against the same opponents on reverse days. The reasonable man adapts himself to the world.

I hope you had a great 2011 Softball Season! Now that things from last season have wrapped up and you're preparing for 2012, I have a great opportunity that I'd like to bring to your attention! Are you coaching a competitive level softball team? Would you be interested in bringing your team to the next level with Olympic-calibre software at a rock bottom price? If you answered yes to either of these questions Softball Ontario has a great opportunity for your Softball Association to purchase Dartfish at adiscounted rate on the Dartfish TeamPro v6.0 software package. Softball Ontario with your help would like to bring the game of softball to the next level with the use of video analysis. Video analysis is a procedure in which a videotaped softball skill is analyzed using a frame-by-frame inspection of footage. Dartfish is the world?s best software program which assists in the analysis by allowing a Softball Coach to: Highlight key points of interest by selecting and noting key moments within the skill Add audio comments, text and drawing to selected key positions Play reference video with key positions and notations to compare with other videos Synchronize two different videos to play together Publish videos, key positions, drawings and annotations and voice over Softball Coaches will be able to take a video clip of a Pitcher, Hitter or Fielder (or a softball player doing any softball skill) and analyze it and be able to return the clip to the player with detailed analysis format called a Media Book. Dartfish Software is a tremendous tool for any Softball Coach wanting the help themselves and their players learn through the use of video technology. This program allows an easy transfer of footage from the video camera to a personal computer. Dartfish allows a Coach to play a clip of a skill in regular speed, any number of slow motion speeds and it can advance a clip by clip frame. Beyond that, a Coach will have the ability to look at two video clips side-by-side or top-and-bottom, or up to 4 different video clips at the same time. Plus, a Coach can draw lines on the screen, or magnify a certain part of a clip and even add a trail of softballs to visually track the motion. Samples of what Dartfish can do: Softball trail Side-by-Side Comparison with Magnification Video Overlay How the Software works: A Softball Coach would use a video camera and film their athlete Record each athlete?s footage to a video tape/dvd or connect the video camera to a personal computer Once each video was received, the user would then create a video library Compare swings, pitching and fielding mechanics to previous clips and reference clips Deliver the analysis to players, parents and fans Key features of the Software include: Side by Side comparisons Angle measurements Timing measurements Zone for micro analysis (e.g. hand or foot positions) Through this offer local softball associations can purchase this innovative coaching tool for $1075.00 (Cdn) plus HST.

Canada scored in all three of their at-bats, including eight runs in the third inning for their run-rule win. Ashley Lanz (Winnipeg, MB) picked up the win in the pitcher's circle for Canada, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out six. Canada banged out eight hits with Heather Ebert (Rosthern, SK) leading Canada's bats with two hits and an RBI, while Melanie Matthews (Surrey, BC) tripled and knocked in three runs and Jennifer Salling (Port Coquitlam, BC) added a single and drew two walks. In the first, Canada scored once as Victoria Hayward (Toronto, ON) singled, Jennifer Yee (North Delta, BC) was safe on an error, and Salling walked to load the bases. Kelsey Haberl (Burnaby, BC) drew another walk to score Hayward, but Joey Lye (Toronto, ON) hit into an inning-ending double play. In the second, Canada scored twice when Erin Cumpstone (Saskatoon, SK) reached on an error, Danielle Lopez (Barrie, ON) lined a single to right and Matthews drilled a triple to left center field to drive in both runs.

Salling then singled though the right side of the infield to score two, and then pinch hitter Brittany Hicks (Dundas, ON) got her first hit as a National Team player, drilling a shot up the middle to drive in two more runs.

In front of an energetic crowd, Canada got on the board with four runs in the bottom of the first. With one out, Joey Lye (Toronto, ON) lined a double to left and moved to third on a Jennifer Yee (North Delta, BC) single to right. After Mexico got the second out, Kelsey Haberl (Burnaby, BC) walked and Jennifer Salling (Port Coquitlam, BC) drew a second walk to score Lye for Canada's first run. With two out and the bases loaded, Megan Timpf (Port Dover, ON) hit a long fly ball to centre that was dropped and allowed all three Canadian base runners to score and put Canada up 4-0. After scoreless second and third innings, Canada added one more in the bottom of the fourth as Salling hit a two out triple and Megan Timpf was hit by a pitch. The Mexico pitcher threw a wild pitch allowing Salling to score. Mexico got one back in the top of the fifth when they took advantage of a Canadian error and one hit before Canada shut the door with two runners on base. Sarah Phillips (Mississauga, ON) got hit by a one hopper in the knee and had to be taken out with one out. Jenna Caira (Toronto, ON) came in and shut down Mexico. In the bottom of the fifth, Canada was able to close the game out by scoring three times to earn the 8-1 win. Melanie Matthews (Surrey, BC) opened the inning with a single.

Matthews scored on a passed ball then Jennifer Yee walked and both she and Lye were moved over to second and third on a sacrifice bunt Kaleigh Rafter (Guelph, ON). Kelsey Haberl singled to right to score Lye and Salling then drilled a two strike pitch up the middle to score Haberl to end the game. Both teams managed only five hits with Sarah Phillips picking up the win by going four and one third innings and Jenna Caira came in relief to shut the door on a possible Mexico rally.

The 2011 OCAA Women's Fastball Championship is hosted by Durham College with four teams engaging in a double-knockout tournament Friday and Saturday. Durham is the defending champions, having struck OCAA gold a record 15 times. The Lords remain the team to beat after an undefeated record in the regular season. St. Clair remains Durham's nemesis, having won three of the last six OCAA championships. St. Clair did not face Durham this regular season, as an originally scheduled doubleheader between the teams was cancelled due to poor field conditions. Humber plays the role of new kids on the block, making its OCAA tournament debut in its first year of women's fastball competition. Seneca looks to earn its first medal since being awarded bronze in 2009. In the double-knockout tournament, teams play a minimum of two games. Teams are eliminated from the competition after their second loss. The team that avoids a second loss wins the tournament and the championship. 1. Durham College (8-0) The Lords outscored the competition this regular season, scoring 75 runs despite playing two less games. Durham has also allowed an OCAA-low six runs in 2011. Pitchers Shannon Galea and Kristine Miles both have 4-0 records for Durham, with Miles leading all of OCAA with an ERA of 0.00. Galea's ERA of 1.50 hardly pales in comparison, and has 31 strikeouts to her credit, good for second in OCAA. Offensively, outfielder Janna Hagan led OCAA with a .577 batting average, and ended the regular season tied for second place in hits with 15. Shortstop Brittany Bell led OCAA with 13 RBI, and Hagan and Kristin Servinis were among a trio of OCAA leaders with 12 runs scored. Durham has won an OCAA medal every season since 1996. 2. St. Clair College (7-1) St. Clair had a front-loaded OCAA schedule, and combined with last weekend's cancelled doubleheader at Durham, has not played a regular season game since Oct. 1. The Saints have been dormant for nearly three weeks, but recent history suggests they will be a force to be reckoned with at the OCAA tournament. Melissa Bowyer led all OCAA pitchers with 33 strikeouts and 37 innings this season, with St. Clair playing two less games. She was also tied for the OCAA lead in wins with a 4-1 record. Her ERA of 2.92 was also best on the Saints. Caitlyn Stiles is the OCAA co-leader in runs scored with 12. Keri Bagley was third in OCAA with 11 RBI, while Lisa Ternosky led all St. Clair batters with a .480 average. 3. Seneca College (6-4) The Sting were the only team to hand St. Clair a loss during the regular season, which should help Seneca's confidence heading into their opening game against the Saints. Seneca has turned to pitcher Maryann Tumanguil its last three regular season games, and she has responded with a pair of victories. She has struck out 11 batters in 14 innings of work. At the plate, Tumanguil was the team co-leader in base hits with 12, along with outfielder Jody Waltho who had a .522 batting average. Amanda Boismier led the Sting with 10 RBI to go along with her .440 average. She also contributed from the pitcher's circle, with 22 strikeouts in 19 innings pitched. 4. Humber College (5-5) Humber defeated Conestoga 7-1 in the OCAA qualifier to earn the final bid into the championship tournament. Jessica O'Quinn was among the OCAA leaders in victories with a 4-1 record. Her 2.90 ERA in 31 innings pitched was the best among non-Durham pitchers. Shelby Robblee was also a key contributer for the Hawks from the rubber with 27 strikeouts in 36 innings pitched. Robblee also led Humber with a .481 batting average, driving in a team-high 12 runs. Quinn Hall led Humber with 14 hits resulting in a .467 batting average. She scored eight times and drove in five runs.

Team Canada will wrap up its preliminary round schedule against the Dominican Republic at noon EDT on Friday. Canada wasted no time jumping all over the United States to start the game, as Melanie Matthews (Surrey, BC) led the game off with an inside the park homerun to right field. Jennifer Yee (North Delta, BC) then hit a one-out double followed by an intentional walk to Kaleigh Rafter (Guelph, ON), with both runners moving up on a passed ball. Kelsey Haberl (Burnaby, BC) forced a walk to load the bases, and Jennifer Salling (Port Coquitlam, BC) forced yet another walk to push the second run across the plate. After a strikeout, Erin Cumpstone (Saskatoon, SK) was hit by a pitch for another run, and Jill Russell (London, ON) delivered a two-run single through the left side of the infield to give Canada a 5-0 lead. Team USA came roaring back in the bottom of the second, scoring five runs to tie the game and chasing two Canadian pitchers in the process. The Americans pushed five runs in with a combination of hits, walks, an illegal pitch, and a passed ball to scrape together the runs, highlighted by RBI singles by Michelle Moultrie and Stacy May-Johnson. USA added three more runs in the bottom of the third when Michelle Moultrie hit a two-run triple and scored on an RBI groundout. They then added another on an inside the park homerun by Stacy May-Johnson to take a 9-5 lead in the fourth, and three more in the bottom of the fifth on a two-run double by Jenae Leles and an RBI single by Valerie Arioto to round out the scoring. The game was much closer than the end result, with Canada stranding two runners in each of the first, third and fourth innings, and a total of seven in five innings. Ashley Lanz (Winnipeg, MB) started the game for Canada, throwing a good first inning before USA got to her in the second with four hits and three runs. Sarah Phillips (Mississauga, ON) came out in relief and walked the two only batters she faced, followed by Jenna Caira (Toronto, ON) who was not able to stop the bleeding, allowing three runs over the next inning and a third before Lanz re-entered the game in the bottom of the third. Jennifer Yee had a pair of hits for Canada, while six other players each added a hit. Jill Russell drove in two runs, while Matthews had the inside the park homerun to lead off the game. The loss left Canada into a tie for second place with Venezuela with a 4-2 record, with Cuba sitting at 3-2 with a game in hand. The United States have clinched first place with a 6-0 record. The top four teams will advance to the playoff round.

Canada will play Cuba - who lost to the United States in the 1st vs. 2nd place game - at 11:00am EDT on Sunday. If Canada defeats Cuba, they will advance to the Gold Medal Game against USA. During the round robin, Canada lost a 4-2 decision against Cuba. Canada had a tough time with Venezuela in a 4-3 preliminary round win, but was able to score early and put the Venezuelans on their heels. Jenna Caira (Toronto, ON) allowed one run on four hits and had six strikeouts and four walks as she worked out of a couple of jams early in the game to pick up the win.

With Jennifer Yee (North Delta, BC) up, Lye was thrown out trying to steal but Yee drew a walk with two outs. Kaleigh Rafter (Guelph, ON) stepped up to the plate and hit a ball that travelled 260 feet for a two-run homerun to give Canada an early lead. Venezuela answered back with a run in the second but Caira struck out the Venezuelan leadoff batter with two runners on to end the inning. In Canada's half of the inning, Jennifer Salling (Port Coquitlam, BC) got the first of her three hits with a nice drag bunt. Heather Ebert (Rosthern, SK) singled as she hit a line drive that Venezuela's second baseman dove for and touched put couldn't hold on to. Erin Cumpstone (Saskatoon, SK) bunted but Salling was thrown out at third. Megan Timpf (Port Dover, ON) doubled to left field over the fielder's head to score pinch runner Victoria Hayward (Toronto, ON). With Cumpstone on third and Timpf on second, Melanie Matthews (Surrey, BC) was issued an intentional walk. Joey Lye hit a ground ball to first that forced Cumpstone out at home.

(Guadalajara, Mexico) The Canadian Women's Softball Team worked their way to the gold medal game the hard way by beating Cuba 4-0 in the semi-final game only to see their hopes for the gold dashed by the United States who beat Canada 11-1 on the run rule. Canada takes home a silver medal from the Pan American Games, going 7-3 for the tournament After defeating Venezuela last night 11-1, Canada needed to defeat Cuba who had lost to the USA to get to the gold medal game. Cuba, who had defeated Canada 4-2 in the preliminary round, had their bats silenced by Canada's Jenna Caira (Toronto, ON) who kept them off balance with changes of speed and they never got very much offence going, as Caira allowed only three hits and struck out seven batters to pick up the win. Cuba threatened with two on in the top of the second, but Caira got the third out with a strikeout. In Canada's half, Kaleigh Rafter (Guelph, ON) singled to lead off the inning and moved to second on a passed ball, but was left stranded. In the third, Canada opened the scoring when Megan Timpf (Port Dover, ON) walked and was moved to second on a Victoria Hayward (Toronto, ON) sacrifice. Melanie Matthews (Surrey, BC) lined out to centerfield, and Timpf tagged and advanced to third. Joey Lye (Toronto, ON) followed with a two-strike line drive triple to left field to score Timpf. Lye was left on third as Jennifer Yee (North Delta, BC) flied out to left. Rafter led off the fourth with her second big homerun of the tournament to left field to increase Canada's lead to two. Kelsey Haberl (Burnaby, BC) was hit by a pitch and Jennifer Salling (Port Coquitlam, BC) beat out a drag bunt to put runners on first and second. Pinch runner Brittany Hicks (Dundas, ON) was forced at third as Heather Ebert (Rosthern, SK) attempted to advance the runners with a bunt. After a strikeout, Victoria Hayward hit a single through the middle to score Salling and put Canada up 3-0. In the sixth, Canada added another run when Joey Lye's soft liner was dropped by the Cuban shortstop, and Jennifer Yee sacrificed Lye to second. Cuba changed pitchers and Rafter was issued an intentional walk, and after the next batter struck out, both Jennifer Salling and Heather Ebert were hit by pitches to score Lye. Cuba tried to rally in the sixth and had runners on second and third with one out, but Caira got a ground out to first and a strike to end the threat. Rafter, Lye and Hayward both had two hits with Salling adding the seventh hit. In the gold medal game, Canada was run-ruled as the USA blew the game open in the third on route to their 11-1 win and their seventh consecutive gold medal. Canada had two on in the first inning, as Melanie Matthews and Jennifer Yee both drew walks, but the next two batters were retired to end the inning. In the bottom half, a two-out homerun put the USA up 1-0. Canada came right back to tie the game as Heather Ebert walked and back-to-back singles by Megan Timpf and Victoria Hayward pushed her in to score. USA added two runs in the second and four more in the third as Jocelyn Cater (Delta, BC) relieved Caira in the pitcher's circle but could not stem the tide. Heather Ebert doubled in the fourth for Canada, but could not advance any further. The USA closed the game out with four runs in the fourth as Cater was relieved by Ashley Lanz (Winnipeg, MB) to the end the game. Canada had three hits and Caira took the loss as the USA used a twelve hit attack.

The National Junior Championship Tournament, now for players under age 21, will be hosted at Duncan McLellan Park in August. In previous years, the Junior category included players under age 23. This will be the 3rd time that Softball Canada's Junior Men's tournament has been held in Owen Sound in the past 5 years. The National Junior Tournament was staged in Owen Sound previously in 2008 & 2009. The Owen Sound Fastpitch Organization also staged the Canadian Men's Championship last August at Duncan McLellan Park The winning bid, reportedly, beat out another bid from another Owen Sound based operation for the 2012 hosting rights The potential exists that the tournament could also be staged in Owen Sound again in 2013, but it's unclear as to which bidding group from the city would be the host in such a case. The 2012 Canadian Junior Men's Championship Tournament will be staged in early August at Duncan McLellan Park. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We just found out Yesterday Owen Sound to Host 2012 U21 Junior Canadian Championsips! The Owen Sound Fastpitch Organization has won the bid to host the 2012 U21 Junior Canadian Championships in August. This will be the third time the tournament has been held in Owen Sound in the past 5 years. After hosting the Senior Men's Championship this past August, the committee rested for a few weeks and decided to try and bring another tourney back to Owen Sound. This will be the 6th National Championship that has come to the city since 2001. The organizers and host committee are excited and are already planning for the prestigious event. This will be the first year with the new age changes. The age has changed from Under 23 to Under 21. With great speculation in fastball circles that this rule would be reversed, it became official the new category would stand at the Canada AGM in Halifax this past weekend. Yours in fastball!

The game was a sloppy one, as Canada's pitchers struggled by issuing 12 walks and a hit batter, and the USA made four errors in the field. Canada will try to even its record to 1-1 tomorrow when they face Botswana who lost an extra inning 8-7 decision to South Africa in their opener on Thursday. Canada's starting pitcher Karissa Hovinga (Edmonton, AB) got into trouble in the first inning when she gave up two hits to lead off the inning before Carey-Leigh Thomas (Ohsweken, ON) made a nice play at short when she was able to make a tough play on a ground ball and flip to Taylor Beck (Vancouver, BC) at third base for the force out. Hovinga then walked the next two batters to force in a run before Canada made their first of three double plays when second baseman Shannon Davidson (Whitby, ON) fielded a ground ball, tagged the base runner and threw to first to get Canada out of a bases loaded jam. In the top of the second, Canada threatened when Davidson walked with two outs and Natalie Wideman (Mississauga, ON) hit a flare down the left field line to put two runners on. Taylor Beck then lined a shot that the USA pitcher knocked down and was able to recover to throw Beck out at first. Davidson later gave Canada their second double play when after a leadoff walk, she was able to convert a double play on a grounder to second. In the bottom of the third, the USA added five runs as they sent 10 batters to the plate to take a 6-0 lead. Hovinga gave up four hits and four runs while getting one out before Jocelyn Cater (Delta, BC) relieved her and faced four batters walking two, hitting one and allowing a hit. With the bases loaded, Natalie Becker (Waterloo, ON) was called upon and promptly induced a double play from pitcher to home to first on a ball hit back to her to give Canada its third double play of the night. Canada got two runs back in the top of the fourth, as Erika Polidori (Brantford, ON) led off with a slow roller to short that she beat out and advanced to second on a bad throw by the American shortstop. Jaycee Affeldt (Maple Ridge, BC) reached base on an error and was replaced on the bases by Tessa Loewen (Abbotsford, BC), and Thomas hit a fielder's choice as Polidori was out at third. With two out, Wideman hit a ground ball to third that was thrown away at first and allowed both Affeldt and Thomas to score. In the top of the fifth, Canada scored two more times to cut the lead to 6-4. With two out, Victoria Hayward (Toronto, ON) drew a walk, moved third when a grounder by Polidori went through the USA shortstop's legs. Affeldt then scored both with a single up the middle. Affeldt moved to third when Thomas' fly ball to centre was dropped to put the tying run on base, but Davidson ended the rally when she grounded out to short. The USA put the game away with five runs in the bottom of the inning, as Becker gave up three hits and a walk and was replaced by Affeldt who could not stem the tide as she gave up two walks and two hits and walked the final run in to give the USA the run-rule victory with two outs. Four Canadian pitchers gave up 11 hits, 12 walks, one hit by pitch with two strikeouts as Hovinga took the loss. Canada had four hits, two by Affeldt and singles to Polidori and Wideman as the USA pitchers struck out four Canadian batters.

Canada will play Puerto Rico at 10:30 EST on Saturday. Team Canada banged out 10 hits on route to their run rule victory. They scored four runs in the first inning and three more in the fourth to beat Botswana in five innings. The pitching combination of Jocelyn Cater (Delta, BC) and Natalie Becker (Waterloo, ON) combined to pitch a no-hitter but the Canadian pitching staff continues to struggle with their control. Cater went three and a third innings firing nine strikeouts and walking five while Becker went an inning and two thirds with three strikeouts and one walk. In their first at bat, Canada's first three hitters were all safe as Jennifer Gilbert (Saskatoon, SK), Victoria Hayward (Toronto, ON) and Erika Polidori (Brantford, ON) all laid down drag bunts to quickly load the bases. Jaycee Affeldt (Maple Ridge, BC) lined a single to right to score Gilbert, and Natalie Wideman (Mississauga, ON) followed with a single up the middle to score Hayward later in the inning. Kristy Noble (Uxbridge, ON) then singled past the shortstop to score both Polidori and Wideman. After a scoreless second and third, Canada put three more runs across. Tessa Loewen (Abbotsford, BC) started the inning off as she was safe on an error. Gilbert slapped a single through the middle to score Loewen who had moved up to second on a passed ball. Hayward was then safe with on a drag single, and Affeldt singled to center field to score two runs and give her three runs batted in on the day. Hayward led Canada with three hits.

Canada now has a record of 2-1 and will play New Zealand, who are also 2-1, at 5:30am EST Sunday morning. Shannon Davidson's (Whitby, ON) three-run walk off homerun in the bottom of the fifth ended the game on the run rule as Canada recorded a 7-0 victory. Canada got some good pitching today as Madison Schreyer (Winnipeg, MB) picked up the win with relief help from Karissa Hovinga (Edmonton, AB) as the duo allowed four hits with four strikeouts and four walks in the five inning game. In the first inning, Schreyer was able to work herself out of a jam as Puerto Rico had two runners on, but Schreyer was able to get a strikeout to get out of it. The red and white got on the board with three runs in the bottom of the first. With one out, Victoria Hayward (Toronto, ON) beat out a drag bunt but was forced out at second when Erika Polidori (Brantford, ON) hit a ball back to the pitcher. Jaycee Affeldt (Maple Ridge, BC) singled to right center field to move Polidori over to third. Natalie Wideman (Mississauga, ON) drew a walk to load the bases and Carey-Leigh Thomas (Ohsweken, ON) was hit by a pitch to score Polidori for Canada's first run of the game. With two outs, Shannon Davidson hit soft roller to shortstop who could not throw Davidson out at first as Affeldt scored. Thomas headed towards third only to find Wideman had rounded third and was held up. Puerto Rico got Thomas in a run down between second and third and they dropped the ball to allow Wideman to score and Thomas was safe at third. In Puerto Rico's half of the second inning, Schreyer issued two walks with one out but managed to get a strikeout and a ground ball to Davidson at short who made a quick tag to get the third out. In Canada's half of the inning, Jennifer Gilbert (Saskatoon, SK) had a drag single and Victoria Hayward hit a slap single as Gilbert went to third with some heads up base running. Gilbert scored on an Erika Polidori groundout to first as Gilbert beat the throw home. In the fourth inning, Schreyer ran into some trouble. After getting the first out she issued a walk, allowed a single to right field and issued a second walk to load the bases. Karissa Hovinga relieved Schreyer with one out and the bases loaded and forced two infield pop ups to get out of the inning and leave Canada with a 4-0 lead. In the bottom of the fifth, Polidori reached base as she drilled a single off the Puerto Rican pitcher's glove. She moved to second on a passed ball and to third on an Affeldt groundout to second. Natalie Wideman hit a grounder to second and Polidori was thrown out at home trying to score. Wideman then stole second base before Thomas drew a walk to set up the Davidson walk off homerun. Canada had seven hits with Davidson and Hayward leading the way with two each, including Davidson's home run. Gilbert, Polidori and Affeldt added singles.

J&B defeats Maccabi USA 6-5 in 8 innings to win Championship of 2011 BreederRupp Tournament in Long Beach. After two blow-outs in the two semi final games at 12:30 Sunday, (J&B over Panteras 11-0, and Maccabi USA over Black Curtain 11-4), the Championship game at 2:30 was quite an exciting affair. Sonny Perkins started in the circle for J&B, and Jason Gluckman toed the rubber for Maccabi USA. After a few innings, the score was tied 1-1 when J&B later added two runs to take a 3-1 lead. In the top of the 7th, Maccabi USA Shortstop David Shpiro hit a dramatic triple in the gap with two runners on, to make the score 3-3. Shpiro then subsequently scored from 3rd to stake Maccabi to a 4-3 lead, heading into the bottom of the 7th. J&B answered with a run in the bottom of the 7th to send the game into extra innings, and the International tie breaker. With each team starting with a runner on 2nd Base, Maccabi managed to score a single run in top of the 8th, but J&B answered the bell again, and added two runs in the bottom of the 8th to win the 2011 breederRupp Championship. This off season tournament was held at beautiful El Dorado Park in Long Beach. The purpose of the tournament is two-fold. With no entry fees required for the 7 participating teams, This is a way for the Maccabi USA softball program to say "Thank you" to all of the Southern California teams who we compete against during the Spring and Summer. We also use the tournament as a fund raiser project for the Charlotte Blackburn Fund within Maccabi USA to support the Men's Fastpitch Softball Fund. I organized a contest among the players on Saturday to pick the order of finish for the 5 Heisman Trophy finalists. We had 5 correct entries out of 67 participants and generated $335 for the fund. On Dec 24th, Twenty Jewish Mens Fastpitch players from the United States will be making up a USA Red Team, and a USA Blue Team, and heading South of the Equator. They will be among 2,000 Jewish athletes from countries in the Western Hemisphere that will be participating in the 12th Pan-American Maccabiah Games in Sao Paolo, Brazil. 6 Fastpitch Teams will play in the softball competition within the games, and they will return to the USA on January 3rd, 2012. For the Sao Paolo New Years Celebration, all the players will need to be able to count backwards from 10, in the Portugese language to ring in the New Year. It should be a great fastpitch adventure for all 30 players, and leave them with memories and new friendships for a lifetime. I know that to be true, as I previously participated for Maccabi USA fastpitch in the 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th Pan American Maccabiah Games. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Jocelyn Cater (Delta, BC) pitched her best game of the tournament to date as she threw a six inning no-hitter with 11 strikeouts and only walked one batter. Canada banged out 13 hits, including four runs batted in by Carey-Leigh Thomas (Ohsweken, ON), but ran into a South African team who played some inspired softball in front of a loud and enthusiastic crowd. South Africa made several key defensive plays to keep Canada off the scoreboard for the first two innings. Victoria Hayward (Toronto, ON) led off the first with a slap single, but Canada could not advance her any further. In the second, Canada threatened as with one out, Shannon Davidson (Whitby, ON) singled to center with a soft liner and Kirsten Grant (Oakville, ON) drilled a single past the third base player to move Davidson over to second. Taylor Beck (Vancouver, BC) hit a hard ground ball that the shortstop made a nice play on to force Davidson out at third.

Tessa Loewen (Abbotsford, BC) hit a slap single into left field and moved to second on a one-hopper by Erika Polidori (Brantford, ON) that the pitcher snared. Jennifer Gilbert (Saskatoon, SK) was safe on a drag bunt that moved Loewen to third and took second when South Africa left the base open after their throw to first. Carey-Leigh Thomas stepped up and drilled a line drive to deep right center field for a two-run double. Thomas was left on second as Davidson and Beck both flew out to end the inning. Canada left another runner on base in the fourth as Aizprua singled up the middle with one out, but was thrown out at third trying to go first to third on a line drive slap single to left field by Loewen. In the fifth, Canada added two more runs as Polidori singled to center field and moved to third on a slap single by Gilbert. Polidori scored on a sacrifice fly to center by Thomas. Davidson then drove in Gilbert with a double to left center field that was almost caught by the South African center fielder who could not hold on to the ball when she hit the ground. In the sixth, Canada added three runs to beat South Africa on the run rule. With one out, Hayward was safe on a slap single and took second on the throw back to the pitcher. Hayward scored on a slap single by Loewen. Polidori grounded to second to move Loewen to third base, and Gilbert was hit by a pitch. Gilbert tried to steal second and stopped when the ball was thrown to the base. Loewen scored on the throw and Gilbert ended up on second when South Africa misplayed the rundown. Thomas ended the game with her second hit and fourth run batted in of the game. Thomas, Hayward, Loewen, Gilbert and Davidson each had two hits with singles going to Polidori, Grant and Aizprua.

Canada will play the Czech Republic (3-2) in their last preliminary round game at 5:30am EST on Wednesday. The playoff round will begin on Thursday. Victoria Hayward (Toronto, ON) led Canada's 12-hit attack by going three-for-four with six runs batted in, including a grand slam homerun. Starting pitcher Karissa Hovinga (Edmonton, AB) went four innings, only giving up two hits, to pick up the win. Canada got off to a good start as they scored once in the first inning. With two outs, Erika Polidori (Brantford, ON) hit a shallow fly ball that dropped in for a single down the left field line, Carey-Leigh Thomas (Ohsweken, ON) walked and Natalie Wideman (Mississauga, ON) hit a ground ball through the left side of the infield to score Polidori. Shannon Davidson (Whitby, ON) lined out to center field to end the inning. China got that run back in the bottom of the inning as they led off with a single and Canada's shortstop Davidson bobbled a ground ball and threw the ball past Kristy Noble (Uxbridge, ON) at second to allow the first Chinese run to score. Hovinga then walked the next batter and with runners on second and third, catcher Natalie Wideman tried to pick off the runner at third and the throw got past Canada's third baseman Carey-Leigh Thomas. Left fielder Erika Polidori was covering on the play and made a perfect throw to Wideman at the plate to get the runner out at home. Hovinga struck out the next batter to end the inning. After a scoreless second inning, Canada threatened in the top of the third. With one out, Hayward beat out a drag bunt, and with two out, Thomas drilled a single to left field, moving Hayward over to third. However, with two runners on, the next batter struck out swinging. In their half of the third, China drew a walk but the runner was quickly retired by Wideman when the base runner attempted to steal second base. Canada took a 3-1 lead in the fourth. With one out, Kristy Noble singled up the middle, Tessa Loewen (Abbotsford, BC) hit a slap to third and China tried to force Noble at second but they dropped the ball with both Noble and Loewen being safe on the play. Jennifer Gilbert (Saskatoon, SK) hit a hard shot to the Chinese second baseman who could not handle it as Canada loaded the bases. With two outs, Hayward lined a single to center to score Noble and Loewen, and moved up to second on the throw to home. With two on, Thomas hit a hard ground ball to short but was thrown out at first. In China's half, they were able to get a one out double, but Hovinga forced a ground out and a strikeout to end the inning. In the fifth, Canada sent 13 batters to the plate and scored nine times to take a big 12-1 lead. With one out, Davidson drew a walk, Noble drilled a line drive to center and Loewen walked to load the bases.

With the bases cleared, Polidori singled to right field, Thomas was hit by a pitch, Wideman hit a line drive to center to score Polidori and the ball went through the Chinese outfielder's legs to allow Thomas to score as well. Wideman then scored on a Davidson ground out to first base. Noble followed with her third single of the day before Loewen grounded out to second to end the inning. Natalie Becker (Waterloo, ON) came in to pitch in the bottom of the fifth but got into trouble as Canada seemed to lose focus. Becker gave up a leadoff triple and Canada committed two errors on infield ground balls to allow China to score a run and have runners on second and third. Becker hit the next batter and gave up a single that scored one more. Jaycee Affeldt (Maple Ridge, BC) relieved Becker with the bases loaded and no one out and promptly struck out the first two batters she faced and got a force out at second to end the game. The trio of Canadian pitchers combined to allow four hits with six strikeouts and two walks. Hayward led Canada with three hits and six runs batted in, while Noble also had three hits. Wideman registered two hits and two runs batted in with Polidori chipping in with two hits and singles going to Aizprua - with two runs batted in - and Thomas.

Canada finished in second place in Pool A with a 6-1 record behind the United States (7-0). Canada will now have double-life in the playoff round and will play Japan (7-0) - the first place team from Pool B - at 12:30pm EST on Thursday. The Czech Republic took a 1-0 lead in the second inning when they hit a homerun off starting pitcher Natalie Becker (Waterloo, ON), who would later earn the win in the pitcher`s circle for Canada. The Czechs held Canada to two walks over the first two innings before the red and white exploded for nine runs in the bottom of the third. Tessa Loewen (Abbotsford, BC) led off with a walk and moved to second on a passed ball before Jennifer Gilbert (Saskatoon, SK) slapped a ball past the first baseman that the Czech right fielder misplayed, allowing Loewen to score. Gilbert ended up on second after losing her footing going around first base, and Victoria Hayward (Toronto, ON) was then issued an intentional walk. Gilbert stole third base and Hayward moved up to second before Erika Polidori (Brantford, ON) hit a hard line drive that handcuffed the Czech shortstop and ended up in left field to score Gilbert. Jaycee Affeldt (Maple Ridge, BC) lined a single to center to score Hayward and put Canada up by a score of 3-1. Affeldt was replaced by pinch runner Larissa Franklin (Maple Ridge, BC), and Carey-Leigh Thomas (Ohsweken, ON) drew a walk to load the bases before Natalie Wideman (Mississauga, ON) hit a ground ball to the shortstop who threw to home to force out Polidori. Shannon Davidson (Whitby, ON) followed by driving in Franklin and Thomas with a single to right field. Kristy Noble (Uxbridge, ON) then stepped up and lined a double to right-center field to score Wideman and Davidson. Loewen walked and Gilbert drilled another single to right field to score both Noble and Loewen. Hayward flew out to end the inning as Canada sent 12 batters to the plate. In the top of the fourth, Madison Schreyer (Winnipeg, MB) came in relief for Becker. She walked the first batter she faced and was able to get an out before allowing a single to put runners on first and second. After Schreyer struck out the next batter for the second out, catcher Natalie Wideman caught the Czech runner too far off first base and Canada got the third out in a rundown between second and third. Canada then scored two more runs to end the game on the run rule when Polidori was safe on another Czech error, Affeldt doubled to left-center to move Polidori to third and Thomas ended the game with a double off the left field fenced that drove in both runners. Canada registered seven hits but hit a number of hard balls as the Czechs made four errors to help Canada's cause. Gilbert and Affeldt each had two hits while Affeldt had three runs batted in. Thomas and Noble both doubled with two runs batted in each and Davidson added a two-run single. Becker picked up the win as the duo of Becker and Schreyer combined to allow one run on three hits with four strikeouts. With the preliminary round now completed, the playoff round will begin on Thursday. In elimination games, New Zealand (5-2; 3rd in Pool A) will take on Brazil (4-3; 4th in Pool B) at 5:00am EST and Chinese Taipei (5-2; 3rd in Pool B) will take on China (3-4; 4th in Pool A) at 7:30am EST. Then, the double-life teams will play as the United States (7-0; 1st in Pool A) takes on Australia (6-1; 2nd in Pool B) at 10:30am EST followed by Canada (6-1; 2nd in Pool A) against Japan (7-0; 1st in Pool B).

Japan outhit Canada 12-3 but Canada stayed in the game with some great defensive plays to get themselves out of several jams. Canada will now play Chinese Taipei, who defeated China 5-0 earlier in the day, at 7:30am EST on Friday. Canada is now in a must-win situation from here on out. The winner of the game between Canada and Chinese Taipei will face the winner of Australia (who lost 7-3 to the USA) and New Zealand (defeated Brazil 8-0) at 12:30pm EST. Japan took an early 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning that was full of action. With one out, Japan hit a line drive to the fence in right field and the player tried to stretch it into a triple but Jennifer Gilbert (Saskatoon, SK) hit the cutoff person Kristy Noble (Uxbridge, ON) who threw a perfect strike to Carey-Leigh Thomas (Ohsweken, ON) at third base who put the tag on the runner. Starting pitcher Jocelyn Cater (Delta, BC) walked the next batter and then hit the Japanese cleanup hitter. A two-strike single through the right side of the infield scored the first runner as she just beat the Gilbert throw to catcher Natalie Wideman (Mississauga, ON) at the plate. The second run came after a wild pitch that Wideman couldn't handle. Canada threatened in their half of the inning when Gilbert bounced a slap over the first baseman's head but it was an omen of what was to come as Victoria Hayward's (Toronto, ON) slap was partially touched by the pitcher just enough to slow the ball down in time to force Gilbert out at second. Erika Polidori (Brantford, ON) then forced a walk and Jaycee Affeldt (Maple Ridge, BC) hit a slow roller to the Japanese second baseman who attempted to tag Polidori and then threw to first to retire Affeldt. It looked like the Japanese second base player missed Polidori but the second base umpire called her out on a close play. Instead of runners on second and third with two out, the double play ended Canada's inning. In the second, Japan hit a one-out double before Cater got the next two outs to end the inning. Canada went down in order in its own at-bat. In the third inning, Cater got into trouble giving up a single to center field and a walk. Karissa Hovinga (Edmonton, AB) relieved Cater and the first batter she faced hit a hard ground ball past third baseman Carey-Leigh Thomas but shortstop Shannon Davidson (Whitby, ON) made a great play to come up with the ball and flip it to Thomas for the out. The next batter singled off Hovinga's glove and loaded the bases before a sacrifice fly ball to center field scored Japan's third run. Hovinga hit the next batter to load the bases again before Thomas got the third out by snaring a line drive. In Canada's half of the third, Kristy Noble hit a long drive off the fence to lead off the inning for a double. Brigitte Aizprua (Terrebonne, QC) lined a shot off the first baseman's glove and was thrown out at first but Noble moved up to third. Gilbert was hit by a pitch and Hayward followed with a deep drive to left field to score Noble and cut the lead to 3-1. Affeldt ended the inning with a fly to left. In the fourth, a one-out triple by Japan put a runner on third but was picked off by Canada's catcher Natalie Wideman as Japan tried a squeeze and missed the ball and Wideman snapped a throw to Thomas at third who made the tag to get Canada out of trouble. Wideman hit a two-out single for Canada's third hit but Davidson grounded out to second to end the inning. Japan added four more runs on six hits in the fifth as the first batter grounded out to third and the second singled to left field. Wideman promptly picked her off at first for the second out but Japan had five straight hits to score four times before Madison Schreyer (Winnipeg, MB) came in to get the third out. Canada and Japan never threatened after the fifth as Schreyer shut down Japan's offense. Cater took the loss going two plus innings allowing three runs, four hits and two walks. Hovinga pitched two and two thirds innings giving up four runs on eight hits and Schreyer finished with two and a third innings allowing no hits and striking out two. Noble doubled with singles going to Gilbert and Wideman.

Canada outhit Taipei 6-4 and had at least one runner on base in each of the seven innings but could only manage a first inning run. Taipei managed to put two hits back-to-back and scored both their runs in the bottom of the third inning. Canada scored their only run of the game in the top of the first inning when Jennifer Gilbert (Saskatoon, SK) led the game off with single up the middle and was moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Victoria Hayward (Toronto, ON). Erika Polidori (Brantford, ON) walked and Jaycee Affeldt (Maple Ridge, BC) followed with a soft line drive down the left field line to score Gilbert. With two runners on, Carey-Leigh Thomas (Ohsweken, ON) stepped up and drilled a line drive right at the Taipei left fielder for the second out. Natalie Wideman (Mississauga, ON) ended the inning with a ground ball to second base. Madison Schreyer (Winnipeg, MB) started for Canada and gave up a first inning walk but got the next two outs to end the inning. In the top of the second, Kristy Noble (Uxbridge, ON) drew a one-out walk but was thrown out trying to steal second. Taipei hit a one-out triple that landed on the right field line, but Schreyer got the next two batters to ground out to end the threat. In the third, Canada got a two-out single from Polidori but could not move her any further. In the bottom of the inning, Taipei scored their two runs. They led off with a ground ball single off Schreyer and scored their first run on a double to left center field. After a sacrifice moved the runner to third, Jaycee Affeldt came in the pitch for Canada. Unfortunately, the next play would end up being Canada's downfall. Taipei tried a squeeze and missed the bunt, and Natalie Wideman fired the ball to Carey-Leigh Thomas who got the Taipei runner in a rundown. The runner tried to dive back to third in which Thomas looked like she had made the tag before the runner had gotten back to the bag but the umpire called the runner safe on a very close play. The next batter hit a sacrifice fly to center field to score the runner from third and Taipei took a 2-1 lead. In the fourth, Canada got a leadoff single from Thomas who was moved to second by a Wideman bunt, but Shannon Davidson (Whitby, ON grounded out to second and Noble lined out to center field to end the threat. Affeldt sent Taipei down in order in the fourth. Canada loaded the bases in the fifth. With one out, Gilbert was hit by a pitch, Hayward singled to left center field and Polidori popped up to second before Affeldt flew out to right field on a full count pitch but the 20-second clock had expired and a ball was called to put Affeldt on first and load the bases. Thomas came up to bat and flew out to right field to end the threat. Affeldt sit Taipei down in order again in the fifth, and in the sixth Canada got a two-out single from Noble but Brigitte Aizprua, (Terrebonne, QC) flew out to right to end the inning. In the seventh, Affeldt got the first two outs but gave up a single and hit the next batter. Shannon Davidson then made a nice play at short on a ground ball to get the force out at second. Canada again got a runner on with two outs in the seventh as Polidori's hard hit ground ball could not be handled by the Taipei third baseman and she was safe at first. Affeldt came up and ended the game with fly ball to right field. Schreyer took the loss with relief help from Affeldt. The duo gave up four hits and struck out three while issuing one walk. Canada had six hits from six different players.
