ISC & ISC II Facilities Taking Shape for the Big Events

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006

The parks in Kitchener & Cambridge are really starting to take shape.

At PHBY, site of the World Tournament, the stands are almost complete and are looking great. All diamonds have new Big O plastic tubing around the tops of the fences and dugouts.

At Budd Park, the main facility for the ToC, New Big O tubing has been installed there as well. All lights have been cleaned and reaimed. The old wooden bleachers that were built into the hill on 1st and 3rd base side at Budd 1 are being replaced with aluminum bleacher seats encased in cement. The infield and outfield are in awesome shape.

At Kinsmen 1 & 2, the satellite facility for the ToC in Cambridge, by the end of this week, the diamonds will be changed from stone dust infields to clay infields and warning tracks

Looking forward to seeing everyone in August.

Thomson, IL Area Merchants at Aurora, IL tourney

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006

Thomson, Illinois

The Thomson Merchants completed a somewhat dissapointing weekend of play at the AFSA Classic over the weekend. Finishing with a 1-3 record against four teams who were all at the 2005 ISC World Tournament Thomson was left to rue an inability to come up with key hits when it mattered against both Townline and Bloomington Stix. Behind the strong arm of Jonas Mach, Thomson the score in both games was tied at 0-0 going into the 6th & 7th innings respectively, but Thomson couldnt manage to score any of the baserunners when it counted. After this weekend Thomson record is 24-16 for the season.
