ST CLEMENTS/Kitchener Outlaws Bell Cartage Tournament

Scarborough Force puts up another tournament win, this time in St 
Clements.  The Elmira Expos came close but couldn't withstand the 
pressure from  the Scarborough Force.  Game 33, the "IF" game was over 
in the 5th inning with a Craig Buttar single that brought Aaron Trude 
home from 3rd  defeating the Elmira Expos 6 - 1.   A five run lead after

the ball park in St Clements.

The Force was held off the score sheet for 2 innings by Dan Martin.  In 
the 3rd however, Scott LeBlanc doubled, Nick Dambrosio tripled,  and

NIAGARA SNAPPERS   June 1,2, 3 at Ker Park

Twelve teams head to Niagara Falls this weekend for the 9th annual 
Niagara Snappers Shootout

The Scarborough Force are in the BW Motors Div. along with Hill United 
Chiefs, (AAU Champs in Florida this past January,) along with the Port 
Elgin Blue Devils and another Lake Huron entry, the Port Huron 
Wellness/Gillies Fastball  Club.

The KW Cubs, 2011 OASA Champs, will play the MS Heating Div.  Pool play 
will include the Lake Simcoe Lightning who were 2nd in the 
Woodstock/Crush May Two Four, the Wiarton Nationals ISC OCC winners in 
New Dundee last year and the Niagara Fury.

Three clubs who were at St Clements this past weekend play in the 
Niagara Fasteners Div. along with the host Snappers. Those 3 clubs out 
of the Outlaw's Bell Cartage tournament include the "A" finalists Elmira 
Expos, the "B" semi-finalists Owen Sound VW juniors, and the Alvinston 
Indians.

There may be some questions answered in Niagara.

Will Scarborogh come out on top  for the 3rd time?

Will Hill United be as dominant in the Snapper Shootout as they were at 
the 48 teamer AAUs in Florida?

Will the KW Cubs begin to establish a  reputation as a top  Ontario 
fastpitch club?

Will  the Blue Devils, the Expos and the Nationals begin to put more 
wins on the board and start to pull away from the field?

Will Alvinston be able to improve on their 2012 start?

and with a few teams idle  this weekend, some of the big teams not yet 
ready for prime time..who will be showing up to fill a roster spot or two?

The Snappers will  be a big test for all these teams, some teams just 
getting the season underway, others building momentum, some pitchers 
hitting their groove and some batters just beginning to knock off the 
rust.  A great weekend of fastpitch awaits.

See you at the ball  yard.

SOUTH PERTH game of the week

A good rain Tuesday at noon hour knocked the dust down for the Breslau 
Badgers home opener against the KW Cubs.  The Cubs came out the chute 
early scoring two runs in the first...Grant Baechler singled, Adam 
Hiller walked, doing what lead off hitters do...Batting 3rd for the 
Cubs, starting pitcher Brad Thomson walked, setting up 2nd baseman Dan 
Mitchell's 2 RBI double.  That was all the Cubs needed.

Thomson started for  the Cubs, allowing 0 runs, on 2 hits over 2 
innings.  Ryan French closed down the Badgers over the next 5 innings.

The Badgers were able to close the score in the 4th, a Brandon Horn 
triple, followed  by a Jamie Sutton RBI..but that was all the Breslau 
offence could muster.

The Cubs defence were in mid season form. Ryan French had a nice 2nd out 
strike-out that catcher Grant  Baechler converted into 3 outs with a 
great throw to 2nd to wipe out the hit and run play set up by Breslau 
coach Jamie Simpson.  Andrew Phibbs took the loss for the Badgers.  
Great game, a 8;30 start and home in Waterloo by 10;30.

Cubs  off  to the Niagara Snapper  tournament  this weekend.  Jamie 
Simpson will have the Owen Sound Selects in Niagara as well...
