Friday results from the 6th annual Snapper Shootout, which kicked off this evening with 16 teams competing for over $4000 in prize money with the winning team taking home $2500.

Anyone reading this that is within driving distance should come down for the day to enjoy some of the best fastball action that you will see outside of the ISC WorldTournament and Tournament of Champions.

Withthe temperatures expected to be about 75-80 degrees all weekend, what betterway to spend it then by finding a nice patch of grass, a cold beer and a burgerand watch some fastball. We have cold beer (and lots of it), great food at the concession stand, plenty of seating for the fans, and a live band in thebeer tent on Saturday night.

Ken Vierling update

Friday, June 5th, 2009

Most of you will know by now that ISC II UiC Ken Vierling was involved in a severe single-car accident back in April that claimed the life of his friend and passenger and has left Ken paralyzed from the chest down. Ken’s family have been providing virtually daily updates on his progress toward recovery. You can follow along by clicking here.

Ken’s friends have created a web site to assist with fundraising efforts. If you can find a way to help, either by buying tickets, attending the events or providing support in some other way, please do so.

Please visit www.kenvierling.org to find out how you can help.

Special Olympics Game – 2009

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

Following last year’s ISC/Special Olympics exhibition game, the decision was made to continue that event in 2009. While the exact time and date has yet to be determined, the ISC will be hosting a similar game in Quad Cities.

Any and all ISC and ISC II players are welcome to participate, and I’m also looking for any items – in the form of hats, t-shirts, or jerseys, that we can give as gifts to the players from the Special Olympics team. The feedback I received from the Fox Cities group was that each player was extremely appreciative of their ISC Souvenirs and wore them with pride.

If you’d like to be part of the event in 2009, please drop me an email.. I realize that your teams’ availability may not be determined until the day of the game, but my goal is to get one representative from each team to participate.

Thanks,
