Waterloo Region the place to be for fastball

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

From the KW Record

CHRISTINE RIVET
KITCHENER (Jun 13, 2007)

In case you haven’t already heard, Waterloo Region is the centre of the fastball universe.

This, from promoter Duncan Matheson who — along with his volunteer army of fastball foot soldiers — will bring the men’s world club team championships to Kitchener for the second straight year.

“You got so many people around here that are fastball nuts. They put so much into the game because they love the game,” Matheson said at yesterday’s news conference which kicked off a season that will conclude with the International Softball Congress world tournament in Kitchener from Aug. 10-18.

For Halifax native Mark Smith, the head coach of the Canadian senior men’s fastball team, this area’s fastball talent, proximity to Toronto’s airport, world-class facilities and hospitality are hard to beat.

“All fastball roads lead you here,” said Smith, in town with the national team this week for a test series against the three-time defending world champs from New Zealand.

The Kiwis warmed up for that series last night in Tavistock, handing the Kitchener Hallman Twins a 13-3 defeat in the opening game of a doubleheader.

This summer, the ISC worlds, the granddaddy of senior men’s club team tournaments, will be held at Kitchener’s Peter Hallman Ball Yard for the third time in six years.

The ISCs also include an intermediate men’s competition (the Tournament of Champions) to be played in Kitchener and Cambridge, a youth tournament and a skills clinic.

Waterloo Region and area boasts a season piled high with premier fastball events, organizers said, including the recently-completed Legends of Fastball Classic in Woodstock.

New Zealand national team infielder Jarrad Martin knows first-hand how much this sport matters to local fans.

While wearing the uniform of the two-time ISC champion County Materials of Marathon, Wis., last summer, he felt the wrath of local spectators at the Hallman Ball Yards.

“Last year, we (County) weren’t on the best side of the fans at a lot of times. We had to deal with the adversity and the hostile crowds. But the sport has a great following here,” said Martin, 34, an electrician from New Plymouth, New Zealand

Named the 2006 ISCs most valuable player, Martin will make a return trip to Kitchener in August, for the 2007 ISC worlds, as a member of the Broken Bow Gremlins of Albany, N.Y.

Smith, who has repeatedly brought Team Canada to Kitchener for training camps, will also guide Nova Scotia’s under-19 girls squad to Kitchener-Waterloo next month to train.

ISC world tourney organizers said that more than 50,000 fans are expected to watch the nine-day tournaments in Kitchener and Cambridge. About $7 million will be injected into the local economy, they said.

Some 600 volunteers will devote 14,000 hours to hosting the ISC worlds and Tournament of Champions.

“It’s fastball fever. People are going crazy about the game,” said Matheson, the 2007 ISC tourney’s chair.

At last year’s ISC worlds, 47,000 fans attended. The tourney netted a profit of $82,000, shared with seven local non-profit groups.

Sunday, June 10, 2007
Mitchell, ON

The #10 Elora Wellington Brewers went undefeated – a 3-0 round-robin record coupled with a perfect 3-0 record when it counted Sunday in the single-elimination playoffs – to win top honours at the 17th annual Mitchell Mets invitational fastball tournament Sunday, June 10.

Earning a first-round bye thanks to their 3-0 mark in divisional play, Wellington doubled #14 Bridgeport Braves 4-2 before blanking #25 Glencoe Astros 6-0 to earn a berth in the sudden-death final. In the final, the Brewers exploded for four runs in the fifth to crack open a 3-1 lead and defeat the #4 Elmira Cubs 7-2 for the championship.

Ryan Diljee homered to kick-start the four-run outburst, as the Brewers rode the right arm of Todd Uhrig to claim the title.

Elmira Cubs also went 3-0 in pool play, then dumped #2 Tavistock Merchants 10-6 and fought back to edge #13 Kitchener Outlaws 7-6 to earn a berth in the final.

Other Sunday results were as follows:

Glencoe 2, Ingersoll 1 (9-innings)
Bridgeport 5, #11 Port Elgin Blue Devils 0
Tavistock 9, #17 Harriston Mercury’s 2
Elmira Jrs. 7, Shakespeare Falcons 1

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

South Perth League features 16 teams in 2007

Men’s fastball league declines
Sixteen teams to play in South Perth Men’s Fastball League; new Mitchell
team joins

By Andy Bader
Wednesday May 02, 2007
The decline in men’s fastpitch softball is starting to reflect in the number
of teams in the South Perth Men’s Fastball League (SPMFL), as 16 teams will
compete for the 2007 championship this September.
Another two teams ceased operations for this upcoming season, the longtime
Fullarton A’s as well as the Milverton AW Millwrights, while the SPMFL
welcomed back the Waterloo Jr. Hallman Twins from a year’s hiatus. The St.
Pauls Generals, another longtime franchise, ceased operations one year ago
as well.
Also new to the league this season is the Mitchell Jr. Chiefs, a team of
almost entirely first-year junior-aged players who have played together, for
the most part, since they were mite age. Coach/manager Calvin Annis has a
number of players eager to play with the newfound junior club, and their
early team fundraising initiatives have proven successful thus far.
The Jr. Chiefs will play their home games on Monday nights, and bring back
to two the number of Mitchell teams in the SPMFL, joining the Mets, who once
again will play their home games Wednesdays.

The SPMFL regular season doesn’t begin until May 22, with each team in the
league playing 22 games, capped, as usual, by the playoff tournament in
Mitchell Sept. 14-16th.
The league also has four teams amalgamating for 2007, the Linwood Chiefs and
the Moorefield Dukes are joining forces and will be known as the Linwood
86ers. Another merging of two established clubs, the Tavistock Merchants and
the St. Marys Gunners, will see the team be known as Tavistock, but they
will play half of their home games in St. Marys to keep the game’s presence
alive with the future hope of recessitating their own team once again.
There will be two eight-team divisions in the league this year – the
Smith/Egli Division, who will have the two Mitchell teams, Sebringville,
Monkton, Shakespeare Falcons, Shakespeare Colts, Hickson and Tavistock play.
The other eight-team division, known as the Arand/Thomson Division, will
feature Bridgeport (the two-time defending champions), Breslau, two Elmira
teams, the Cubs and Juniors, Linwood, Harriston, Wellington (formerly known
as Elora) and Waterloo Jrs.
Other meaningful fastball dates to mark on your local calendar include the
17th annual Mitchell Mets tournament June 8-10 which will feature 16 men’s
teams (including the hosts and the Jr. Chiefs) and eight ladies clubs; a
doubleheader in Sebringville on June 15 which will see the Canadian national
team take on New Zealand; an eight-team junior men’s tournament June 22-24
hosted by the Jr. Chiefs, in conjunction with a bantam baseball tournament;
and the 4th World Fastball Invitational in Monkton Canada Day long weekend.
More details on these local events will be available closer to the dates.
