South Perth All-Stars tie, lose to New Zealand

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

Playing a pair of five-inning games on Canada Day in Drayton, the South Perth All-Stars tied the three-time World Champions New Zealand Black Sox 2-2 in the opener and then dropped a 2-0 decision in the nightcap.

Sebringville’s Don Scott and Dan Martin, with the Elmira Expos, split the pitching duties in game one, while Heinie Shannon and Ben Enoka took the mound for the Black Sox. Kevin Gutscher of the Expos had a two-RBI triple to account for the South Perth runs.

In game two, Casey Halstead, of the Expos started for the All-Stars and struck out six in three innings of work. A throwing error helped lead to the two New Zealand runs. Fred Follings, of the Shakespeare Falcons, closed out the final two innings, giving up a triple to Brad Rona. Enoka started for the Black Sox and went three innings, followed by two innings from Marty Grant.

International teams touring Ontario

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Editor’s Note: The following is from Fred Follings, pitcher with the Shakespeare Falcons. ISC II fans know Fred mostly from his stint with Tavistock Merchants, where he was a stalwart from 2002 through 2005. Last year, Fred was with Bridgeport and helped lead the Braves to a top 10 finish. One of the top arms in The Deuce, Fred will get a chance to test his skills against the best in the game in the upcoming 10 days.

Hello all,

In the next few weeks the Australian and New Zealand national men’s fastball teams will be touring [southwestern] Ontario as a tune up for the International Softball Federation tournament in Saskatchewan in August. There is also a top level club team tournament in tournament in Monkton on the weekend of July 3-5.

I have been selected as an All Star for my club team and we will be playing these teams in a number of places and on a number of dates over the next two weeks. For those familiar with my club team, the Shakespeare Falcons, our shortstop Reid Yantzi has also been selected to be on the All Star team. This is a great opportunity to support some local fastball associations and see the top caliber teams and players from around the world in your own back yard. It’s also a chance to see what I spend all my summers doing! Here are the dates, locations, and times for the games. I hope to see you there!

Wednesday, July 1, Canada Day-Drayton, ON, 7pm , vs. Team New Zealand.
Friday, July 3– Monkton, ON, 4pm, vs. Saskatoon Aspen Interiors. (2nd place finishers in last year’s ISC club team championships)
Saturday, July 4– Monkton, ON, 8am vs. The Farm Tavern, Madison, Wisconsin. (3rd place finishers in last year’s ISC club team championships)
Saturday, July 4– Monkton, ON, 10am vs. Kitchener Rivershark Twins. (1st place finishers in last year’s ISC club team championships)
Sunday July 5– Monkton, ON, 3pm vs. Team New Zealand.
Wednesday, July 8– Milverton, ON, 7pm, vs. Team Australia.

Here is a link to the Monkton tournament website and to my league’s website so you can see who else made the South Perth All Star team.

Thanks again, all.
