Editor’s Note: There will be some great ISC II ball in Waterloo this weekend with the Cubs Classic counting six teams who will be making their way to Wisconsin in August. Led by #4 CPI and the #6-ranked host Elmira Cubs, this will be a terrific preview for the ToC.
The tournament will be a two division, with pool play starting on Friday evening at Hillside, and continuing all day Saturday.
Playoffs will begin at 11 am on Sunday following the final two pool play games at 9am. The semi final and championship games will be at 1 and 3 pm.
These are some great local teams and some great teams from surrounding leagues heading into Waterloo for the weekend. Hillside is a great venue for fastball with those two quick diamonds, beer pavilion, great food, lots of trees, etc. It will be a great weekend, no rain during the day, we will permit some rain late at night to settle the dust, sunny skies, and competitive fastball games. One of the best parks in the city to watch a great ball tournament.
