Aussie Colts take two from GHFL All-Stars as Speed Kills

Tuesday, June 14th, 2005

Niagara Falls, Ontario

Speed kills and the Aussie Colts used their team speed to slay two all-star teams from the Golden Horseshoe Fastball League in a doubleheader last night in Niagara Falls.

Armed with a string of left-handed slap hitters who run like gazelles, the Australian Junior Men’s National Team will be very difficult to defend against at the ISF Junior Men’s World Championship in PEI starting June 24.

The Aussies jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning in game one as Adam Raptis slapped a double, stole third and scored as James Brooks reached on an error.

The GHFL roared back, scoring four in the home half of the first, highlighted by a Mike Bateman home run off Aussie starter Brooks. Matt Lyons opened with a double to the fence followed by a solid single by Tim Coe. Scott Young cashed them both with another double to the fence and came around to score on Bateman’s opposite field shot.

In the top of the second inning, the Aussies strung together a triple by Andrew Ratten and five infield singles from Josh Jones, Damien Nairn, Raptis, Brooks and Nick Green, pounding the ball into a hard infield and beating out a series of bunts and high hoppers, scoring five runs to take a 6-4 lead.

The GHFL closed the gap to 6-5 as Mike Welton scored on another double off the fence, this one by Mark Hall off reliever Ryan Van Coeverden. A solo home run by Travis Southam restored the two-run lead for the Colts as Adam Folkard came in to shut the door, striking out the side in the final two innings.

Starting pitcher Scott Wagar took the loss, giving up seven hits and five earned runs in three innings of work while striking out six. Dan Deumo tossed three innings of relief, striking out four while giving up the Southam home run and a single to Aussie game MVP Adam Raptis.

Bateman was named the MVP for the GHFL.

Van Coeverden was the winner in relief of Brooks, with Folkard getting the save.

Folkard started on the mound in game two much the way he finished in game, throwing hard gas and mixing in a world-class change-up, string out four in the first two innings with a hit batter the only blemish on his record. The GHFL managed only a bunt single by Trevor Moses in the fifth as the offenses from both teams were handcuffed by the pitchers.

Garon Clough had the first of two singles in the second inning, reached second on a passed ball and stole third before coming home on a double by Van Coeverden. Clough scored again in the fourth, stealing second and third after a one-out single and then coming in on a passed ball.

Chad Reed worked the first two innings and took the loss, despite striking out five and giving up only the two hits and the lone run. Duane Singer threw two innings of relief, allowing four hits and one run. Rick Hames pitched a clean fifth for the GHFL.

Folkard took the win with relief from both Brooks and Van Coeverden. Game MVPs were Clough for the Aussies and Reed for the GHFL.

Game 2

WP: Folkard, relief Brooks, Van Coeverden
LP: Chad Reed, relief Duane Singer, Rick Hames
Not a lot of offense in this one, but Aussies twice steal third setting up both runs.

Two very competitive games with good defense displayed by the Aussies and the GHFL (at times). These kids are incredibly quick with a. They will be very difficult to defend against and have no hesitation on the base paths and will swipe second, third and home if you aren’t wary. Not a lot of power, but Travis Southam and Andrew Ratten can hit the ball deep. Folkard was very good, getting 10Ks in four innings of work and not allowing a hit.

They’re also a bunch of very friendly ball players and are going to be tough to beat in PEI.

Thanks to all the GHFL players, Herb Beckman, Al Greatrix and Rob Sampano for looking after the Niagara All-Stars and Brian Costie, Will Lake & Paul Gilmour for the Waterdown All-Stars. Special thanks to Lindsey Carroll, Laing Harrow and the Aussie Colts for making the trip to the Falls and for two competitive games.

For those that were unable to tune in to our webcast through BallPark Radio.com, archive files of both games will be available in the very near future.

Aussies beat GHFL All-Stars – courtesy Niagara Falls Review

Good day for the Aussies
Australian under-19 fastball team beats local all-stars 7-5 in exhibition game

By DAN DAKIN
Sports – Tuesday, June 14, 2005 @ 02:00

NIAGARA FALLS – Call him the stroik-out king.

An all-star team of men’s fastball players from across the Golden Horseshoe took on the Australian under-19 national team Monday night at Ker Park. In the end, it was Aussie hurler Adam Folkard who did in the home team.

Folkard, considered one of the top prospects in Australia, pitched the final two innings and struck out six of the seven batters he faced as the visitors beat the Golden Horseshoe Fastball League All-stars 7-5 in front of a few hundred spectators at Ker Park.

The 18-year-old Folkard was hired to play for a highly ranked fastball team in the U.S. last year and he’ll do the same this summer. However, he said he’s not aiming to break into Major League Baseball soon.

“I want to win a gold medal with the Australian under-19 team (at the World Championships this month) and then I want to win a gold medal with the men’s team and, hopefully, beat the world champions New Zealand,” Folkard said.

Niagara Falls all-star Rob Greatrix, who normally suits up for the Niagara Falls Fury men’s fastball team, said he wasn’t surprised by how well the Aussie team played.

“For Australia, fastball is one of their big sports and even though they’re under-19, it would be like Canada sending its under-19 hockey team somewhere,” Greatrix said.

From the moment the Aussies pulled into Ker Park, it was clear this was not your run-of-the-mill beer-league team.

Though they arrived a few minutes late after playing tourists earlier in the day, the green and yellow-clad club went through a detailed warmup led by one of two full-time trainers who travel with them.

The team arrived in Canada Friday, playing seven games in a tournament, where they won the consolation title. The tourney kicked off a busy schedule of more than 20 games in 10 days.

They played two games Monday night against the Golden Horseshoe all-stars and they continue their tour today with another doubleheader in Milverton.

They’ll continue playing two games every night the rest of the week.

This tour is in preparation for the International Softball Federation Junior Men’s World Championships in Summerside, P.E.I., June 24 to July 3.

Australia is considered among the favorites, along with Japan and New Zealand.

For the most part, Australia’s offence was the result of infield bunts and short hits, which coach Lindsey Carroll said is a reflection of his country’s smaller diamonds.

“The outfields are a lot bigger here than we’re used to. So, it changes the nature of the game,” he said.

The younger players also used speed to their advantage, rolling up plenty of stolen bases and repeatedly outrunning throws to first base on bunts.

The Niagara team didn’t have as much speed, but they used the long-ball to fuel its offence. The all-star team’s effort was highlighted by a two-run homer in the first inning by Mike Bateman, of Niagara Falls.

Niagara led 4-1 after the first inning before Australia rallied with five runs in the second to take a 6-4 lead.

The home team closed the gap to 6-5 in the bottom of the fourth, but a home run by Australia’s Travis Southam made it 7-5 in the fifth.

“This team was probably the toughest team we’ve played so far on the tour,” said Folkard, who will play for the No. 6 world ranked team in Fargo, N.D., this summer.

“I played in the States last year and it was great. I learned a lot.”

The all-star team put up a good fight against the Aussies, but Greatrix said Monday’s game was also about having a good time.

“It’s a competitive league and we don’t play too many games for fun,” he said. “But it’s fun to play with guys you normally play against.”

Three teams from Minnesota in line for berths to the ISC II Tournament of Champions

Sunday, June 12th, 2005

Stillwater, Minnesota

With play now completed in the Gopher State ISC Travel League, Commisioner Les Novak awarded berths to the top three teams in the Travel League to the 2005 ISC II Tournament of Champions in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.

When the dust settled, #17 ASB-Villard (St. Paul) and #33 Fisher Group (Mankato) tied for the lead with records of 4-5. Vannelli’s (St. Paul) finished third at 3-6 while #11 Chub’s Pub Wizards (Fargo, ND) ended at 2-7, despite being shorthanded on the weekend. All rankings are based on June 1 ISC II Rankings.

The bids went down to Sundays games and the games were exciting to say the least. Fisher Group downed Chub’s 6-5 while Villard defeated Vannelli’s 8-4.

In the final round of games, both games went extra innings. Villard took 10 innings to dispatch of Chub’s 6-5 on Jack Rowan’s solo home run in the top of the 10th.

Vannelli’s defeated Fisher Group 7-5 in 9 innings, completing a run by Vannelli’s that saw them go 0-5 in the first weekend.

Fisher Group’s Brian Looft tied the game in the bottom of the seventh, when down by 2 runs and down to their last strike, he tripled to score runners from first and second.

Travis Kunz gave Vannelli’s the lead in the top of the 9th with a 3-run home run. Fisher Group threatened with one run in the bottom of the 9th but Vannelli’s held on.

GHFL All-Stars vs Australia U19 National Team to be webcast via BallParkRadio.com

Wednesday, June 8th, 2005

NIAGARA FALLS, Ontario – Fastball fans in southern Ontario can put a shrimp on the barbie for the Australian Junior Men’s national fastball team as they take on a pair of all-star teams from the Golden Horseshoe Fastball League (GHFL) on Monday June 13 at Ker Park in Niagara Falls.

The games will be webcast via Ball Park Radio starting at 7:00 pm eastern time.

The Australian team is looking to get a head start on the competition for the 2005 International Softball Federation Junior Men’s World Softball Championship running from June 24 to July 3 in Summerside, PEI with a 20-game, 10-day trek through southern Ontario.

“We’re excited about playing these young men, some of whom are going to be superstars in the game in the future,” said GHFL President Blair Setford, noting that Aussie pitcher Adam Folkard is already being courted by some of the top men’s teams in North America.

“We’re hoping that events like this will bring out families to the park and get people excited about the game again,” said Setford, a former St. Catharines resident who grew up playing minor ball in the area.

The GHFL counts 13 teams spanning from Niagara Falls through Niagara-on-the-Lake, St. Catharines, Hamilton, Waterdown and Mississauga.

Players from the Niagara-based teams and Mississauga will be playing in the first game at 7:00 pm while players from the Waterdown teams will take the field at 9:00 pm.

After the doubleheader in Niagara Falls, the Aussies are off to Milverton, for a doubleheader the next day; Wednesday they play the Innerkip Eagles before spending two days in Belmore when they play Belmore and Harriston on Thursday. They regroup and face two all-star teams from the Belmore area on Friday.

On Saturday, June 18 they play another doubleheader as they face the Kitchener Senior and Junior Hallman Twins. Their last game is the Silver Kings in Mitchell before taking in a Toronto Blue Jays game Monday June 20. They leave Toronto Tuesday morning for PEI where they will compete against nine other countries for the gold medal. The Aussies have won the past two championships in 2001 and 1997.

Setford said the fans will be in for a treat during the exhibition games.

“Fastball fans will be thrilled with the exciting brand of ball played by the Australian team. They’re a talented group of players with strong pitching, speed and some power, but our guys will be taking this seriously, too. We’ve got some of the best players in Ontario playing in the GHFL and we’re delighted to get them some exposure.”

Among the players will be several members of the Niagara Snappers, who recently won a star-studded tournament in Virgil over top Ontario and American competition, players from the defending Niagara Falls league champions Niagara Falls Fury and representatives from the 2004 GHFL champion Hamilton Hawks along with players from all the GHFL teams.

Entry to the games is free. Ker Park is on Sinnicks Road just off Thorold Stone Road in Niagara Falls.

Arrows win pair

The Mississauga News

The Mississauga Arrows ran their record to 3-0 in the Golden Horseshoe Fastball League (GHFL) with a pair of victories this week over the Waterdown Coyotes and Morriston A’s.
Travelling to Waterdown on Monday night, the Arrows banged out 15 hits en route to a 10-4 pasting of the Coyotes.

Tom Fortune and Tim Coe led the Arrows attack with Fortune going 3-4 on the night with two doubles and two RBIs.

Coe was 3-3 with a walk, double, triple and three RBIs. Jeff Beange was 2-4 with an RBI and Blair Setford was 1-2 with sacrifice fly RBI and a double.

Adam Lebrun picked up the win for the Arrows on the mound, his first of the season, giving up nine hits and the four Coyote runs. Lebrun struck out eight and walked one.

Playing at their home diamond at Meadowvale Sports Park on Wednesday, the Arrows edged Morriston, 5-4, snuffing out a furious A’s rally in the top of the seventh inning, throwing out the tying run at the plate.

The Arrows built a 5-0 lead on the strength of two RBI singles by Drew Hathway to score Mike Welton in the third and again in the fifth. Welton, who was 3-3 on the night, drove in Vince Oliver in the third.

The Arrows are at home next Wednesday to St. Catharines Red Hot Chili Pepper before travelling to Niagara Falls next Thursday to face Niagara Falls Fury.

The Arrows made a successful debut last week when they defeated the Niagara Falls Cool Hand Luke’s, 1-0, in an extra-innings thriller.

Hathway picked up the win for the Arrows, scattering seven hits over eight innings of work while striking out four.

The Arrows play in the 13-team Golden Horseshoe Fastball League with Wednesday night home games starting at 8:30 p.m. at Meadowvale Sports Park.
