Kitchener Fastball League
Wednesday, October 11, 2006
Kitchener, On
The series that never seemed to end finally came to a close last night, which was a good thing as the weather forecasts in these parts, didn’t look good until the middle of next week.
The Kitchener Phoenix Outlaws defeated the Waterloo Classics in a slugfest, (to help recognize Oktoberfest in the area) by a score of 10-8.

to recover. Phoenix scored 3 more in the 4th, and that was all
the scoring in the game, as Phoenix defeated the Classics 5-0

attack with 2 hits each, and Jeff Hatt, Mike Kelly, Jim Cullen,

[Kitchener, On] – The Championship Series of the Kitchener Fastball League is now well underway.
The Kitchener Phoenix Outlaws ( 3 times defending Champions) are pitted against the Waterloo Classics, in a battle of the young vs the aging.

In game two, with great weather last night, the Classics got back into the series with a close 5-4 victory over the never say die Outlaws. The Classics got on board quickly with 3 runs in the
first, and another in the 2nd inning, courtesy of a 3 run shot by Classics Catcher Ben Blackwell.

In the bottom of the 6th Sam Forbes hit an opposite field home run to put the Classics up 5-4. The Phoenix didn’t threaten with any baserunners in the 7th.

Opening night of the double-knockout South Perth Men’s Fastball League (SPMFL) playoff tournament in Mitchell Friday night saw relatively few surprises, with the higher seeded teams winning their first round contests.
Top-seeded Bridgeport and defending league champion opened with a 7-3 win over Linwood, while third-seeded Sebringville got a complete-game shutout from Don Stebbings and five-RBI from veteran catcher Randy Wicke in their 5-0 win over Shakespeare Colts.
Ryan French threw a two-hitter in leading the Elmira Cubs to a 7-1 win over St. Marys Gunners, while Elora Wellington Brewers got a pitching win from Mike Pinder, plus a two-run home run, in a 5-1 win over Monkton. Sixth-seeded Shakespeare Falcons got a complete-game shutout performance from Fred Follings in a 4-0 win over the Tavistock Merchants, who captured the International Softball Congress (ISC) II title last month in Kitchener.
The only blemish, more or less, was 9th-seeded Elmira Jrs. edging 8th-seeded Moorefield 4-1.
Games continue Saturday at 10 a.m., but Harriston Mercurys won’t be playing the host Mitchell Mets as the Mercurys had to withdraw due to a lack of players. Mitchell will earn a bye to the second round, Saturday at 2 p.m. against the winner of the other 10 a.m. game, Hickson vs. Milverton.

Thomson, IL.
Congratulations to the Thomson, IL Area Merchants for winning the 2006 Northern Illinois Fastball League. The win earns the Merchants a berth for the 2007 ISC World Tournament, but in the meantime, they will be playing in Pool B in the 2006 ISC II Tournament of Champions.
Thomson defeated Aurora Dolan and Murphy 1-0 in the final behind the tremendous pitching of Jonas Mach of the Czech Republic. Scott Glazier’s HR in the first inning was all Thomson needed as Mach only allowed 2 hits over the seven innings. Juan Pottolichio took the loss only giving up 3 hits. It was an extremely well played game with great defense by both teams. Below are the Sunday playoff game recaps.
