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.

Regina, SK Century 21 Angels coming to Wisconsin!

Wednesday, June 8th, 2005

The Regina, Saskatchewan Century 21 Angels start their 2005 season going 14-7 with only 2 loses coming in tournament play.

Team Century is back after being invited to Fargo for the ISC II Tournament of Champions where they were disappointed with their round robin record and failure to make playoffs. Early in this season Team Century also had to deal with the departure of some players but none the less they were able to put together a team of close friends and family that is stronger all around than last years club.

After not making the initial rankings for ISC II teams, Team Century entered the ISC II Canada West Qualifier in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba with something to prove. Without its full line-up Team Century was able to win the tournament with a 5-1 record beating teams such as Portage Phillies (ranked #31 in July 2004) and Devils Lake Risers (ranked #42 in 2005 preseason).

In the semi-final game Team Century beat the 4 time defending champions of the Progress for Portage Tournament / ISC II Area Qualifier (the last few years), the Gladstone Whips (currently ranked #4 in ISC II and last year finished 4th in the ISC II TofC) with a score of 6-2.

Team Century outscored opponents 37-17 and tournament awards handed out after the final included: Jay Kay – Top Pitcher and Tony Sparvier – MVP.

The roster for Team Century at Portage was:
Leroy Keewatin – Pitcher (Peepeekisis First Nation)
Jay Kay – Pitcher/Outfield (Kawakatoose First Nation)
Tony Sparvier – Pitcher/Infield/Outfield (Ochapowace First Nation)
Barry (B.L.) Sparvier – Catcher/Infield/Outfield (Cowessess First Nation)
Jess Stevenson – Catcher/Infield/Outfield (Keeseekoose First Nation)
Rob Stevenson Jr. – Catcher/Infield/Outfield (Keeseekoose First Nation)
Fletcher Stevenson – Infield/Outfield (Keeseekoose First Nation)
Nathan Stevenson – Outfield (Keeseekoose First Nation)
Shane Quewezance – Infield (Keeseekoose First Nation)
Jason Bear – Catcher/Infield (Ochapowace First Nation)
Chris Bear – Infield/Outfield (Ochapowace First Nation)
Anthony Poitras – Infield/Outfield (Peepeekisis First Nation)
Melvin Asaigon – Infield (Cowessess First Nation)
Arlen Yuzicappi – Outfield (Standing Buffalo First Nation)

I would like to thank Ferdi Nelissen for running another first class tournament and I would also like to thank the volunteers and community of Portage La Prairie for being great hosts. Team Century looks forward to representing Canada West in Wisconsin.

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.
