ISC II ToC teams place 2nd, 4th & 5th at OASA “Intermediate” elims

Monday, August 7th, 2006

editor’s note: As we noted earlier, the OASA eliminations this year featured only a two-team senior division as St. Thomas & Jarvis were the only two teams prepared to go to Prince George, BC for the Senior Canadians, so the intermediate division was stacked with senior/ISC pitchers, including Don Scott, Todd Martin, Wayne Wells, Jason Smith and others. Congratulations to Port Elgin Blue Devils on their silver medal. Finishing fourth was the bulk of the Toronto Champion Indians (playing as East York) and fifth was the defending ISC II Champion Elmira Cubs.

OASA “Intermediate” Eliminations Scores

Saturday, August 5th, 2006

editor’s note: Several teams that will be in the 2006 ISC II ToC are in action this weekend at the OASA “Intermediate” Eliminations. However, because only two Ontario teams are competing in the Senior eliminations, several senior/ISC pitchers are playing in the intermediate division this year, including 2/3 of the Kitchener Twins staff: Todd Martin & Don Scott. Should be an interesting weekend with $2000 going to the winner. No one is actually expected to bother with the Eastern Canadians should they win. The defending champions are Palermo Athletics. Teams from the ISC II ToC are in bold.

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.

Defending ISC II Champs Elmira Win a Thriller at Innerkip

Tuesday, July 11th, 2006

From the Sentinenel Review newspaper in Woodstock, Ontario, Canada:

Elmira wins thriller
TOUCHING BASE: Elmira wins Innerkip tournament

By Bruce Urquhart – STAFF WRITER

INNERKIP – The true test of any successful fastball tournament is the calibre of teams it can attract over the two or three days on the diamond. Regardless of beer sales and 50-50 draws, a tournament can’t be considered a winner unless it garners a few of the province’s more high-profile teams. The 2006 Innerkip Eagles Intermediate Fastball Tournament, while not the season’s biggest, definitely passed this admittedly narrow test, attracting some stellar teams to the three-day event.

Sunday’s championship game was a perfect case in point. With the Elmira Cubs, the defending ISC II champions, facing the Toronto Champion Indians, the reigning Ontario Challenge Cup champions, the fans were already expecting an exciting game.
