Canada East (Innerkip) Saturday Scores

Saturday, June 23rd, 2007


Canada East ISC II Qualifier in Innerkip, On
Saturday June 23

Perfect day for ball here in Innerkip. High blue skies with temperatures in the mid 20’s. Good crowds for many of the games throughout the day and the beer tent was buzzing about the upsets. Elora Brewers dropped their second game of the tournament and were sent home early by Hickson Reds. Wyevale Tribe sent Elmira Cubs to the loser’s bracket with a thoroughly convincing 8-0 win as Jason Giffen tossed his second 1-hitter of the tournament while Lee Hopkins of Bucktown continued to be the hottest batter, driving in both of Bucktown’s runs in their 2-0 win over Glencoe Astros, giving him 7 in the Bees’ first two games. Bucktown’s Phillip Martin also continues to impress, allowing only four hits to Port Elgin in a 2-1 win to advance to the undefeated game. Giffen has given up only four hits all tournament as Wyevale has made their way to the an improbable winner’s bracket final against Bucktown.

Ontario Home League Program Affiliation request

Sunday, May 27th, 2007

I am asking all men’s fastball leagues in Ontario to confirm their affiliation with the Ontario Home League Program. Affiliation is voluntary and is cost-free.

For the last few years, the Home League Program has seen teams from as many as 10 leagues from across the province send representatives to Hillsburgh to compete in the Ontario Challenge Cup.

We will again be holding a tournament in Hillsburgh August 24-25 for teams in the central and southwestern part of the province.

New this year will be the Eastern Ontario Challenge Cup to he held August 24-25 for teams in the eastern and northern part of the province. This tournament will be held in McNab/Braeside near Micksburg in the Ottawa Valley.

We would ask that the top team(s) in your league as of August 1 be asked to compete in the tournament.

The winning team in each tournament will receive a berth in the 2008 ISC II Tournament of Champions in Appleton, WI, giving them a year to raise funds for the trip.

Entry fee for each double knockout tournament is $200. This can be paid by the league, shared with the league and the team or paid solely by the team. The fee is due by August 5.

Please note that any team that wins an automatic berth to the 2008 WT or ToC by finishing in the top 4 at the 2007 ToC will not be eligible for the Challenge Cup tournaments.

If you have any questions, please contact me.

Thanks in advance for your participation and have a great season!

Cheers,

Blair Setford
